“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

Becoming a parent changed the way I view this work—it made it personal. My children have brought such a depth of joy and purpose to my life. Helping others build their families, knowing what that can mean for their lives, is a privilege I don’t take lightly. To be part of such an intimate, hopeful, and life-changing journey is both humbling and incredibly fulfilling.

It was the science that first drew me in. I’ve always been fascinated by how intricately the body is guided by hormones. But what truly confirmed that this was the right field for me was seeing how that science is applied in practice. Meeting couples, hearing their stories, and partnering with them to create thoughtful, personalized plans—grounded in evidence but shaped by their individual journeys—has been the most meaningful part of this work.

Taking time to understand each couple’s unique journey and goals to create a personalized plan forward is deeply fulfilling. And when those efforts lead to the family they dreamed of—whether it’s through meeting their baby or seeing a photo—it’s a profound reminder of how meaningful this work truly is.

I’m most proud of the relationships I build with my patients. I make it a point to understand who they are beyond the medical context. Getting to know my patients on a personal level helps me provide care that is truly tailored to their needs and values.

I’ve always been especially interested in fertility preservation, particularly egg freezing. The decision to freeze eggs is often a complex one, both emotionally and logistically, but it can also be incredibly empowering. The science behind freezing and thawing eggs is intricate, and I’ve researched IVF outcomes in couples using previously frozen eggs. I believe understanding this science—and setting appropriate expectations for women pursuing this path—is critically important.

I encourage my patients to view challenges as hurdles—not roadblocks. Even when it feels like the odds are insurmountable, the vast majority of the time, we’re able to find a way forward. With the right support and medical care, we can often overcome those hurdles and help build the family they’ve been dreaming of.

I spend time with family and friends, hiking, listening to podcasts, gardening and flower arranging.

I used to teach a mixed martial arts fitness class called Body Combat! To me, it was more than just an incredible workout—it was a tight-knit community that meant a lot to me. It was also during that time that my interest in women’s health began to take shape. I credit part of my path to becoming a women’s health provider to those years of teaching and connecting with that community.
