Hello! I'm looking for a reproductive endocrinologist recommendation in the Chicago area. Either downtown or west/southwest burbs are preferred. 
Thank you!

    May not be exactly what you are looking for but they have several locations. They are my specialists. If none of the locations are convenient, I am sure they will recommend someone they respect.

    We absolutely LOVED Dr. Feinberg with Fertility Centers of IL (Had to go to 3 different REs there though before we found our keeper).  Unfortunately she works out of Hoffman Estates and does her IVFs at Highland Park Hospital.  I found that we didn't need to see her that often, and even though she was in charge of our cycles-we could do a lot o monitoring and stuff at other FCI centers across the suburbs.  For us, it was worth the trip once we found a RE that we were really happy with.

    Thank you @soylatte. 

    @happywifemomofone I have been looking at a million clinic websites, but no one I know has been through this so I haven't heard any 1st hand accounts until now.  Thank you.  I've been through two REs already and actually checked out Dr. Feinberg's profile earlier today!

    We had our success with Dr Charles Miller. He has offices in Schaumburg and Naperville. He is incredibly thorough and his success rates are very high. Make sure to check the success rates of various clinics before making your choice. We didn't at first and that was a huge mistake.

    He's not in the city but I saw Dr. Sherbahn at advanced fertility in Gurnee. He has great success rates.

    We had success with dr. Kaplan from FCI River North. We did have to travel to highland park twice for the egg retrieval and transfer. My OB also recommends Dr. Belstos and Dr. Sipe out of that same FCI office.

    I'm seeing Dr. Magdy Milad at NMFF (https://www.nmff.org/findPhysician/physiciannew.asp?Lname=&phyLetter=&id=540) and he's helped us overcome one hurdle so far.  We're just about to start IVF so I can't speak to that experience yet but he's been rated by Chicago Magazine as one of the best in the city.  Good luck!
