Fertility Center Review

Hi J.,

I don't have any experience with FCI of Oakbrook, but my friend did and she wound up switching to my fertility doctor. I just got pregnant for the third time at my fertility clinic and absolutely love the doctor and staff. They were wonderful through all my treatments, especially when my body wasn't cooperating. I highly recommend Dr. Charles E. Miller, he has offices in Naperville and Schaumburg...the number is ###-###-####. Best of luck to you!

Hello. I went to FCI in OakBrook Terrace. I saw Dr. Lifchez and his nurse Gabbie. I got pregnant on my 1st IVF. Just so you know, you can go to the Oakbrook office but if you do IVF you have to go to either the Highland Park IVF center or the River North IVF center downtown for actual IVF procedures. I went to River North downtown for my IVF. When doing IVF you go to Oakbrook for consultations with your doctor, bloodwork and ultrasounds but IVF retrievals and transfers are done at one of the two offices listed above. Anyway I would highly recommend the FCI-Oakbrook office. Feel free to send me a message if you have any more questions.

We saw Dr. Uhler at the Oak Brook Terrace FCI and loved her and her nurses. I was previously diagnosed with PCOS. We got pregnant with our first IVF cycle (our daughter is 14 months old now) and are planning to start the process again this summer. I would check our their website - I think it's fcionline.com. I also know some friends that went to Dr. Hickey at Hinsdale Hospital and loved him. Wherever you decide to go, good luck!

Hi, I did not use the FCI in Oak Brook but we used the one in Glenview. Dr Beltsos was amazing. We had three failed IVF rounds before it worked. Dr Beltsos kept running tests to see what else she can do. (It was unexplained fertility) She tried different things with different rounds until she was able to make it work. As I said I would recomend her to anyone. FCI was great for me and the staff made me feel like family. Again I do not know about the Oak Brook location but can say that FCI in general was amazing.

All the FCI centers are a bit of a meat factory. If you are looking for a place on the west side, I would go to Mary Wood Molo at Rush - Women's Health Consultants (WHC). She has a great reputation as a very good diagnostician and is really nice. The practice is more intimate and the results are very good. The other center in Chicago with good success rates is Northwestern - Dr. Kazer and others. It is also very sensitive to variable family structure. Good luck.

Hi J.
I used FCI in Oak Brook and I was happy with it. I worked with Dr. Lifchez and he and his nurses were wonderful to me. It took about 6 months from the time we started to when I got pregnant with my now 2 1/2 year old daughter. My fertility problems were unexplained (they couldn't find any reason why I wasn't getting pregnant) but after trying fertility medications for a few months first, I got pregnant on my third try with intrauterine insemination. We were just about to try IVF if the third try didn't work, but it did. We were going to go back to FCI to try again for another child, but surprisingly I got pregnant on my own. Good luck and hope everything goes well!

I went to Dr. Sipe at FCI in Oakbrook for recurrent miscarriages. (we did not do in-vitro though so I don't know how they are with that) but I thought he was outstanding and would highly recommend him.

FCI in Chicago is def better-namely Kaplan. Also, you have to do acupuncture. If you are in Chicago, go see Lisa at Harmony Health.
