Everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped, and today I’m just over 9 weeks pregnant with our IVF baby. Knowing we also have two embryos waiting for us for the future makes this even more special. A huge thank you to my nurse, Gabby, and our ultrasound tech, Angela, you both made such a difference for me. I’ll never forget the kindness and reassurance you gave during every visit. I walked out of the office today in happy tears, just feeling so grateful for this experience and the people who helped us get here. To any couples going through IVF, this is not an easy road, but choosing the right clinic with people who truly care makes all the difference. Hold onto hope, take it one day at a time, and just know… you will get through the progesterone shots too 🤍Fertility clinics

They are charging me $900 for embryo storage that my ex was responsible for. I NEVER authorized my name to be on the account, nor did I ever receive notification. They emailed me, and I immediately asked for termination paperwork. I repeatedly called their office and left messages. I asked them to take my name off of the bill. I also asked for confirmation of the termination of my embryo with my ex. They never responded.If zero stars were possible, that would reflect our experience.

My husband waited over a month to secure an appointment time that accommodated his work schedule. On the day of his lab work which he showed up for and provided, we received a call from the manager, Natalie, informing us that the staff member who performs the tests was unavailable due to an emergency. We were told that alternate dates would be provided, but given my husband’s career in the medical field, he had already rearranged his schedule and canceled obligations to make this appointment possible. When we followed up by phone, Natalie declined to speak with us directly to further address the situation. This demonstrates an alarming lack of accountability and professionalism. The level of patient care and customer service we experienced was wholly inadequate. We have notified the ordering physician of these concerns and the unacceptable handling of this matter.Thanks for the five-star review!

I’m still in disbelief that my dreams have come to fruition thanks to the wonderful team Chicago IVF offers. The Valparaiso clinic was where I went most of the time and I adored every single employee there! They cheered me on, clapped for my success and sympathized with me during the bad news. I felt that everyone truly cares and that means so much when you’re in such a vulnerable state. Angela was my nurse and she’s truly an angel! Dr. Brasch and Dr. Schultz are fantastic and so skilled. I recommend this facility to anyone trying to grow their families! Thank you so much for making my heart’s desire come true!!! My husband and I are forever grateful!This fertility clinic should not be in business. Unfortunately I had to be treated here for outside monitoring because our actual clinic is based out of state.

Never in my life have I experienced such unprofessional medical staff in my life. Do NOT spend your money, time, or energy on this clinic. You will regret it.The staff at Chicago IVF are all amazing! I wouldn’t want to have a journey with any other clinic after having my third with them! So satisfied! Thank you for everything!Thank you for this five=star review! We appreciate it.Edited to add: since posting my review I have heard from billing and their patient advocate.

I will say I’m pleased they’re addressing my concerns and look forward to them being resolved. I’m not sure what bugs me more, the fact that they have a doctor that is “federally excluded from prescribing medicine” still prescribing meds or the fact that they took my money, reassuring me that I would be refunded after insurance paid them and they have yet to even submit any claims to my insurance. I have called multiple times to speak with billing and every single time they’re busy and I’m told I would get a call back and have not. I would not recommend anyone use this clinic.Staff was really friendly, and welcoming.Very thankful for the Valparaiso office and Angela , always very helpful and kind .The fertility journey can be a frustrating one: even for those of us who have no fertility issues but are only seeking assistance because we are LGBT. The whole process can be…The fertility journey can be a frustrating one: even for those of us who have no fertility issues but are only seeking assistance because we are LGBT. The whole process can be mysterious and is certainly more of an art than a science. That said, Angela was our guiding light! She was always happy to answer our questions and help us to understand the process.I absolutely love the nurses and staff at the Valparaiso location.

Absolutely absurd, multiple requests have been ignored when these results should have automatically been sent.

They were very timely and we were able to get the treatment we needed very quickly, compared to other companies that were months out in scheduling. Both doctors were informed, professional, and helpful.I have been working with this clinic since early 2020. Very professional, attentive timely and effective.

First, they never tried to "oversell" me. When I came to them in 2020, I was dealing with unexplained infertility at age 38. Rather than push me to IVF or ring the alarm, they recommended testing including HSG, SHG and then eventually a polyp removal due to the results of the testing. Their nurses were calming and insightful which I appreciated. Right after my polyp removal with Dr. Brasch, I had a spontaneous healthy pregnancy while thinking of undergoing IVF. I then had a second healthy pregnancy (age 39 pushing 40). I recently came back to do cryofreezing to preserve the change for another baby if possible (age 42). They were again professional, honest and put in place a moderate protocol resulting in 7 frozen eggs, which was as good as could be expected at this point given my AMH. They were very communicative and compassionate throughout the process. My only criticism really: Price is mostly transparent, but I don't love the billing at the ambulatory center so just keep good records of what you've paid. It often takes months for insurance, credits etc to be applied. Got a bill in 2023 for services rendered in 2020! Other than that, I've been very happy with their help and likely will undergo another cycle of egg freezing soon.Everyone at this office is very friendly, caring and helpful. Appreciate their help and kindness!Angela is a fantastic nurse! She takes the time to explain everything in detail to you.

After over a year of TTC, our very first IUI was successful and I can’t thank my team enough. The whole process was extremely fast. There’s not much waiting at all. Appointments, consults, and tests are all scheduled and done very fast! Anytime I had a question, it was so easy to contact my nurse through my portal and ask questions. I’m so thankful for everything that was done for us and I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant with our IUI baby! ❤️The Doctor is great.

However, the billing department does not actually verify your insurance. Be prepared to get a very large (12 times your estimated bill) bill despite what they tell you! Update: I opted for private pay my second round after being assured the billing issue would be dealt with. I paid IN FULL the day before my procedure began. Then, I received another bill for FULL payment four months later. This company will not keep accurate track of your billing! Keep all receipts.So pleased with my experience thus far .

Angela is knowledgeable and kind. She is truly there to help you through this journey every step of the way. The cost for the Medicated/ “tracked” cycle here for an IUI was not anything super expensive in our opinion . Pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, thermometers etc and just time in general can add up to stress and financial costs - if you’re thinking of going forward with an IUI even as “minor” of a case such as ovulation timing - don’t hesitate! Angela and the Chicago IVF team will help every step of the way.Dr. Brasch did a thorough review of my previous medical records and found some additional testing that needed to be done!
