“I LOVED working with Fertility Centers of Illinois. They are considerate, competent, and efficient. They respond to changes well and are very adaptive to requests. I have donated multiple times and this was my favorite clinic by FAR to work with.”

– Mandy B.

When they say, “Your miracle. Our mission,” it’s true. Today, we are holding our precious miracle! We are forever grateful.

I had done it all – finished college, completed grad school, traveled the world, had a successful career, and bought a house. Just shy of 40 years old, I still hadn’t found Mr. Right. But I didn’t want to give up on my dream of becoming a mother. So I decided to do it on my own.

We have such a special bond since (our son) is Dana’s biological child, but yet I carried him through pregnancy.

– Kira and Dana, proud moms of sons Maverick and Ryker

It’s such a huge thing to even make a call for an appointment to a Fertility Clinic. While the situation is frustrating and heartbreaking, EVERYONE at FCI has been so generous, kind, and truly treats you as though you are their only patient and getting you a baby is their only goal.

– Former Patient

This location is absolutely amazing. This clinic takes the time to get to know their patients. We’ve never felt so comfortable and informed on every single detail throughout the entire process.

Q&A

Reproductive endocrinology is a rapidly evolving field and I like being at the forefront, offering the latest evidence-based practices.

It is the perfect mixture of patient care, science, and technology.

I get to be a crucial part of a very important part of people’s lives. 

I’m proud that I can treat patients who need surgery myself, as well as offer any assisted reproductive technology.

Reproductive surgery, oncofertility, fertility preservation, and endometriosis.

Photography, cooking, and spending time outdoors (running, hiking, camping, etc.)

I used to be a professional photographer doing weddings, engagements, and sporting activities.
