RMI helped my husband and me complete our family, and we will always be grateful. The doctors, nurses, and staff made the entire process as quick and stress-free as possible. I liked the checklists they provided so you knew what needed to be completed/scheduled. We are fortunate to have two healthy, happy children!

Dr. Trukhacheva and her entire team are amazing! I struggled with infertility and finally became pregnant after two years of treatment, thanks to Dr. T and her team! Everyone at RMI was very kind, supportive, and positive, which helped me tremendously. I wish they could continue caring for me throughout my pregnancy. Thank you all so much for being part of my fertility journey. I would not be here without RMI’s help!
Jan 16, 2025
I highly recommend RMI! I was a patient of Dr. Nayak and her team. They were incredible throughout my IVF process. Thankfully, our journey was successful, and I would recommend her to anyone.
Jan 9, 2025
Every staff member I met was wonderful!!!!!!! I will always be grateful for all the support and encouraging words throughout my healthy pregnancy. Thank you.

** This review is for the women at the downtown clinic, not RMI as a whole. ** I cannot praise the downtown clinic enough. From the moment I entered, Lupe's welcoming voice was so kind, and seeing her always put me at ease. She answered calls promptly and was extremely efficient, but more importantly, she was thoughtful and understanding. Angela and Marie began as my ultrasound technicians and became my friends! They always brought me comfort, listened to me, hugged me when I needed it, and made an uncomfortable and painful treatment process easier and more pleasant. I truly came to love these women and am deeply grateful that they were part of my treatment. Thank you, Lupe, Angela, and Marie!

RMI is amazing! I love the staff, nurses, and Dr. Nayak. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and they made me feel supported throughout egg freezing. I would recommend them to anyone on a fertility journey!
May 1, 2025
I was with RMI for 3 years and have to say I loved the downtown staff. Lupe was always attentive, answered every question, and made me feel welcome whenever I entered the office, especially because she knew who I was. Marie, the ultrasound technician, made me feel comfortable, always explained what she was going to do, and kept the room from feeling awkward. Everyone I met at RMI felt like family, and I appreciate all they did.

We received attentive care from Dr. Nayak and the other team members at Reproductive Medicine Institute (RMI). Dr. Nayak was patient, kind, and calm as she guided us through IVF during one of the most vulnerable periods of our lives. We now have a wonderful son and feel very fortunate to be part of the RMI family. We are extremely grateful that our OB-GYN recommended Dr. Nayak, and we highly recommend RMI.

I began treatment at RMI in January and was happily pregnant nine months later. Dr. T was my doctor. Apart from the initial consultation call, I did not see or speak with her, but that did not bother me because I knew she reviewed my laboratory results and designed my treatment plan. Dr. Nayak performed my egg retrieval and frozen embryo transfer and was one of the kindest people I met. Retrievals and transfers are handled by the doctor on duty. If you prefer extensive personal contact and frequent calls, RMI may not suit you. Everything is handled through their messaging app, which I liked because I easily forget phone conversations. Questions sent through the app were answered the same day. If I was especially concerned, I called reception to reach my nursing team. RMI is highly professional and develops and executes treatment plans well, although it offers fewer personal touches than some clinics. Multiple Chicago-area locations are convenient, and appointments usually involve only a few minutes' wait because they are very punctual. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my treatment and care team and would absolutely recommend them.
Nov 24, 2025
A very responsible and experienced team. They patiently guide you through every step, answer every question, and care about patients' concerns. Thank you, RMI team.
Feb 12, 2026
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Nayak and everyone at RMI. I truly do not think I would be pregnant without Dr. Nayak—she is highly skilled, kind, and always guided by science. Forever grateful! I will return when I am ready for baby number two.

We pursued IVF after trying for 5 years. We were initially told the problem was the eggs, so we used donor eggs. After 3 attempts, they began questioning the sperm as well and suggested buying frozen embryos. We changed laboratories and went to Northwestern, where we had a healthy baby on the first attempt using the supposedly “faulty” egg and sperm. It seemed that many procedures were done simply to use up our insurance fertility benefit. The billing department also charged several costs that we had to dispute.
Mar 1, 2026
Everyone, from the reception staff to the physicians, is caring, thoughtful, and helpful. I primarily visit the downtown Chicago clinic, but I found the staff at the Oak Brook location equally excellent.
Mar 22, 2026
Everyone was courteous, responsive, and kind, and I achieved the result I wanted. Dr. T was very honest and answered all our questions thoroughly. My husband and I now have a beautiful daughter!

I had a wonderful experience at RMI. I had previously visited an infertility clinic where the staff were cold and difficult to reach, but RMI exceeded all my expectations. The nurses, doctors, front desk staff, ultrasound technicians, phlebotomists, and surgical staff were all supportive, patient, and kind. I highly recommend RMI and sincerely appreciate their excellent care!
May 15, 2026
I am very grateful to have worked with Dr. Nayak and her team. I had several fertility issues and honestly began to think I could not have children. Dr. Nayak patiently investigated and worked to identify the underlying causes. After three embryo transfers, I finally became pregnant and now have my son. I am deeply grateful for their excellent care and hope to return to RMI if I have the opportunity to try for a second child.

RMI has been an absolute blessing for my husband and me. We tried many different approaches over the years before we were finally referred here, and we have been very satisfied throughout the process. Thanks to Dr. Nayak and my nurse Blanca, we had two successful embryo transfers! They always listened patiently and cared about us, which matters most.
Apr 21, 2025
Terrible customer service. They do not respect or treat patients well. They do not deserve any stars. I would not recommend anyone go there.

Frequent appointments, convenient locations, caring professionals, and an overall positive experience during a stressful time in life.

I received letters and emails from Natera, which appears to be the laboratory sending them. This is what they sent repeatedly, even after I emailed my insurance card and called them to resolve the issue. “We are sending this email regarding services provided by Natera Inc. that were ordered by your doctor. We are unable to verify your insurance details so that we can bill your insurance.” I called a second time, and they hung up on me! Why am I only receiving this two years later? Repeatedly?
Feb 27, 2025
Dr. Trukhacheva and her team are amazing. My journey with infertility was certainly not easy. I went through treatments, multiple surgeries, transfers, and retrievals. I am deeply grateful for their support and kindness throughout the process. In 2022, I was fortunate to have my son with the help of this outstanding team. Now, almost three years later, I am fortunate to be pregnant with my second child. Infertility is difficult enough, but having a team supporting and cheering you on at every step makes the process worthwhile. Thank you again, RMI. Thank you to the exceptional doctors, nurses, surgical staff, office staff, and phlebotomists who were my people during this difficult but rewarding time in my life. My family is now complete, and my heart is full.
May 1, 2025
I am convinced this is the best fertility clinic in the Chicago area! After spending years at another clinic where I was treated like a number, I switched to RMI and wholeheartedly believe they are miracle workers. I have a beautiful daughter conceived with RMI's help, and I could not be more grateful. Everyone I encountered at RMI was pleasant, helpful, and hopeful. I cannot imagine a better team and give them my highest recommendation.

The process was very smooth and simple. Everyone was warm and friendly.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Reproductive Medicine Institute (RMI). From the beginning, the staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and professional. Every appointment involved attentive care, and the instructions for medications and subsequent procedures were clear and easy to understand, greatly reducing the stress of the process. The clinic is conveniently located, spotless, and well organized, making visits smooth and comfortable. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and thanks to the RMI team’s expertise and support, I became pregnant after my first frozen embryo transfer. My pregnancy had no complications, and our lovely daughter is now 8 weeks old—everything was perfect. We will always be grateful to RMI for helping us achieve our dream of becoming parents.

Throughout the four years we worked with Reproductive Medicine Institute, the entire team was outstanding. Thanks to the doctors, nurses, and embryologists, we now have two healthy children. RMI made our family complete!
Aug 2, 2025
I had an excellent experience with this clinic and its staff. My doctor, Elena Trukhaceva, patiently took the time to understand my diminished ovarian reserve, reviewed my previous egg retrieval protocols from an REI clinic, and tailored a protocol that might work for me based on how my ovarian function recovered. She did not give up hope for me, which made me feel we were on the right path. I am extremely grateful for her knowledge and expertise! Dr. Shweta Nayak performed all my egg retrievals and transfers. She has a heart of gold and can make you feel safe and comforted even in the darkest moments. The staff and nurses always answered all my questions promptly. The ultrasound team was excellent and very kind during difficult times. I also underwent several procedures and follow-up visits with Kaitlyn Burke, whose compassion and care are unmatched. I have referred friends to this clinic and will continue to recommend it!
Sep 16, 2025
Highly recommend RMI The team is caring, knowledgeable, and truly invested in their patients. They guided me through IVF with compassion and expertise — and today I got to graduate with a healthy pregnancy. Forever grateful!

Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Rocky Mountain Institute! Dr. Schwartz and her team were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

After a long three years at RMI, I can honestly say this clinic and its staff changed my life. I went through countless tests and appointments, and throughout that time the nurses, phlebotomists, and doctors were always kind, patient, and compassionate. Tiffany, in particular, was a bright light throughout my journey. She always made me feel seen and cared for, as if I truly mattered. On the hardest days, she comforted me and encouraged me to keep going. She was my cheerleader, standing beside me through all the ups and downs of infertility. Thanks to the wonderful RMI team, I am now holding my adorable 3-month-old baby. I will always be grateful for everything you did to make my dream of becoming a mother come true. 💕
Oct 14, 2025
I would like to thank Elena Trukhacheva's team. We are very glad we ultimately chose them. We had wanted a child for a long time but had been unsuccessful. Thanks to them, I became pregnant on the first attempt. Three months ago, I gave birth to a healthy baby. We are very grateful. Best wishes to you!

If you are looking for a fertility clinic that treats patients well, has friendly and helpful staff, communicates effectively, and seems able to make fertility challenges a little easier, the Reproductive Medicine Institute is a good choice.
Oct 2, 2025
I recently graduated from RMI and am very grateful for the attentive care I received there. The nurses supported me throughout the process. Whether at monitoring appointments, over the phone, or while answering all my questions, large or small, they were always patient, kind, and reassuring. Their care made an emotionally difficult and overwhelming process much easier, and I never felt that I was facing it alone. Dr. Ahmad was outstanding during my egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Although I only saw her a few times, I know she was an important part of my success, and I will always be grateful to her and the rest of the team. Thank you so much for the team's dedication and encouragement. I can now continue my pregnancy journey, which has always been my dream. If you are looking for a team with not only professional expertise but genuine concern for your success and well-being, I highly recommend RMI.

We received treatment at RMI twice, and both times were successful. Their team is wonderful, communicates clearly, and is very easy to work with. The nurses always respond promptly and answer every question. I highly recommend them! To the entire RMI team: thank you so much for supporting me through this difficult journey. My family is finally complete. ❤️
Nov 27, 2025
The overall experience was good, but there were some problems. The billing department was a nightmare, with poor attitudes and last-minute charges added on appointment days. They told me I could not continue treatment unless I paid immediately. This made every appointment very stressful.

RMI is absolutely one of the best fertility clinics! We began working with them seven years ago, and after three miscarriages, our first IVF cycle was successful. We are grateful to the late Dr. Rana and the entire outstanding team for guiding us throughout. Five years later, we returned to RMI for a frozen embryo transfer with Dr. Amanda and succeeded again! We had some complications in early pregnancy, and Dr. Amanda and her team guided us through the right steps and followed up weekly. We loved working with Dr. Amanda. She was wonderful, warm, friendly, and always patiently answered my many questions. We are now proud parents of two wonderful children, all thanks to RMI. Their entire team is excellent. From the doctors and nurses to the laboratory staff, everyone is knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, and they never miss daily instructions or next steps. Being able to view reports promptly through their portal was also very helpful. Appointments were quick, and we never waited long to see a doctor or have testing. We are very satisfied with their service! We highly recommend RMI. Thank you!
Nov 18, 2025
I have been an RMI patient since 2022 and have undergone infertility testing, IVF, and embryo transfers, both successful and unsuccessful. Dr. T and her team are truly wonderful. They provided exceptional care during a very difficult time and responded promptly to every message and call. Thanks to her team, I felt reassured and confident throughout the process.

Infertility is never easy, but RMI and its dedicated team made our two-year fertility journey as smooth as possible. We could reach them through the portal 24 hours a day, which repeatedly gave us peace of mind. Although it took two years to achieve a pregnancy, the team never gave up. They did everything possible and ultimately helped us achieve our dream. 💯 I highly recommend this clinic!

I recently contacted Reproductive Medicine Institute and was disappointed by the experience. The person I spoke with "Patty" made it so awkward it was brief and made assumptions based on my BMI she kept saying we have a limit my bmi is not high (29) and overlooked my professional background in medicine since 2008 just because this is not my specialty does not mean I don't understand. I have PCOS and wanted to explore the reasons behind my two early pregnancy losses. Unfortunately, the conversation felt extremely dismissive and did not address my concerns adequately she just wanted to get me off the phone. I hope the clinic can improve its approach to patient care and communication. I felt compelled to leave this review just to give others a heads up with their scheduling process. The receptionist were super sweet.♡
Mar 24, 2026
Wonderful! Thank you for helping us grow our family.
Mar 10, 2026
After being transferred to scheduling, I waited before an African American woman answered. She was apparently complaining to a coworker that ‘these phones keep ringing,’ and then hung up. I work in healthcare and spend 99% of my eight-hour workday answering calls. I have never experienced anything like this. My calls are about medications, not patients genuinely trying to become pregnant. It is appalling to hang up on someone trying to schedule an appointment that could bring them one step closer to having a child. If you dislike the job, quit. This behavior was disgusting. (Patty was nice, though.)

I decided to leave this fertility clinic and continue treatment elsewhere, and I am sharing my experience. Although I appreciate some of the support and guidance we received, our overall experience—especially during frozen embryo transfer (FET)—was deeply disappointing. The procedure-day care felt unprofessional and, in my view, did not follow clinical safety standards. I was placed in a consultation room for morning preparation and discharge. It contained old office equipment, visible clutter, and even cobwebs. When I asked why I had been placed there, staff said it was not a consultation room, although the emergency evacuation map on the door clearly labeled it as one. After the procedure, I was taken back to the same room to dress and had to walk through reception and the waiting area in a hospital gown. A nonclinical space with a desk and velvet chairs felt unhygienic, especially immediately after a procedure involving the cervix. I raised these concerns with management. Although they apologized, they offered no clear explanation or assurance about how the issue would be addressed for future patients. Given the cost of care, I expected higher professional and safety standards. Communication was another major issue. After two failed transfers and multiple SIS procedures, we wanted to discuss next steps directly with the doctor instead of receiving information through nurses. These were critical moments in treatment, and more personal communication would have made a significant difference. In three years at the clinic, I spoke directly with my doctor only about three times. Communication with billing added to our frustration. Bills often arrived with very little notice and no clear advance explanation of costs. At times, we were told treatment could be paused unless payment was made immediately, even while I was actively taking medication. The costs themselves were not the problem, but the billing approach felt stressful and sometimes inhumane. Most concerning was the lack of transparency. Certain “laboratory fees” were billed directly to us instead of insurance because, we were told, insurance would not cover them. Yet no one could clearly explain what those fees included. Requests for clarification or itemized charges received vague and sometimes dismissive or unprofessional responses. A fertility journey is deeply personal and emotional, and we had hoped for more supportive, coordinated, and professional care. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Dr. Ahmed is kind and pleasant to speak with, but her character was not enough to outweigh the other unfair treatment we experienced at the clinic.

🌟💖 I want to express my deepest gratitude to this incredible team. Sixteen years after my first child was born, I have finally become a mother again and welcomed a beautiful baby girl! 👶✨ Your professionalism, care, and endless patience made every step of this journey feel safe and hopeful. Every visit, explanation, and encouraging word brought me closer to this long-awaited miracle. I will always be grateful that you made my dream come true and allowed me to experience the joy of motherhood again. 🌸🥰 You truly changed my life, and I will never forget your kindness and support.

RMI is absolutely the best choice for an assisted reproduction journey! A friend recommended Dr. T to me. She had been deeply disappointed by doctors who acted like gods, lacked compassion, and promoted procedures that did not work. She eventually had two children here and spoke very highly of the clinic. Dr. T was my primary doctor, although I also worked with two other doctors who were equally wonderful. The medical team is exceptional, from the nurses to the anesthesiologists. I felt gently cared for. Everyone was thoughtful and professional and used humor at the right times to keep things relaxed. Special thanks to Terry Ryan, an outstanding clinician who made me feel deeply comforted and cared for! Love may seem like an unusual word in a medical setting, but it perfectly describes the ease, affection, and care I felt here. The financial and front desk services were also excellent, which is rare. They were warm, courteous, and responsive. Dr. T is an expert in her field. She treats this work as a calling. The love she gives to eggs and her sincerity and care are rare qualities. I have heard women say egg retrieval was painful, with severe cramping afterward that required pain medication. I never experienced pain, only mild cramping, and never needed pain medication after the procedure. Others who worked with Dr. T told me she was highly skilled, and my experience confirmed it. I received attentive, thorough care throughout my time at RMI. I read reviews criticizing the clinic because doctors were late for telephone consultations, but I think that is unfair. Doctors must prioritize procedures, so consultations understandably come second. I also saw reviews claiming the clinic focuses too much on profit. My experience was the opposite: Dr. T gave me advice that offered no financial benefit to RMI. I highly recommend this clinic and feel very fortunate to have found them so quickly.

I had an excellent experience at RMI and ultimately became pregnant. From Dr. Nayak and her outstanding nursing team to Lily, the lovely receptionist at the Oak Brook office, whom I especially want to thank, everyone made me feel cared for and safe. The nurses I worked with always answered my questions quickly and never made me feel embarrassed for asking. You can feel their empathy, and they understand the complicated emotions surrounding pregnancy. Finally, and perhaps most importantly for someone like me who has long struggled with body anxiety, no one at the clinic ever suggested that I lose weight or criticized my body. This also makes it a safe option for patients in larger bodies or those managing or recovering from an eating disorder. I highly recommend this clinic for its first-rate treatment and exceptionally kind staff.
Apr 30, 2026
We are very pleased with our experience at RMI. Dr. Nayak is an excellent physician: professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She made us feel confident throughout the process. The entire staff was also extremely supportive and helpful, which made everything much easier. We are incredibly grateful for the successful outcome and truly appreciate them. We look forward to continuing to work with RMI in the near future. Thank you again for everything you have done. We are very grateful.

RMI has been tremendously helpful in our efforts to conceive! The nurses respond very quickly and are always helpful. The phlebotomist they assigned was the best I have ever encountered! Dr. Schwartz is knowledgeable and patient, and he explains in detail what they are doing and why. IUI and IVF are challenging processes, but the RMI team made everything much easier.
May 30, 2026
I am incredibly grateful to Reproductive Medicine Institute! We tried to conceive for about four years. After three intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles, two in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, and one embryo transfer, I am now writing this while holding my miracle baby! The staff was devoted and fully invested in my fertility journey. Whenever we encountered a setback, they developed a new plan. They gave me tremendous hope during such a difficult time. I have my precious baby today because of them, and I could not be more grateful. Highly recommended!
May 22, 2026
I am deeply grateful to Reproductive Medicine Institute for supporting me throughout this journey. From the beginning, the entire team made me feel supported, cared for, and valued. They always responded quickly, patiently answered every question, and genuinely cared about each patient. Dr. T was my treating physician, and I am very grateful for her professionalism, warmth, and thoughtfulness. Throughout the process, the staff was outstanding, welcoming, and tremendously supportive. Thank you for everything you do and for giving hope to so many families. I sincerely appreciate all the care you gave me. 🤍
Jun 30, 2026
We had a very good experience with this clinic. We received an appointment within a week of the consultation and order being placed. They explained insurance coverage and costs very clearly, with no hidden fees. Dr. Ahmad was wonderful, and the front desk staff were very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. Special thanks to Lily! The only thing I did not like at first and needed time to adjust to was that the nurses communicate by sending messages through the patient portal. I am more accustomed to phone calls and receiving updates directly, so it took some getting used to. Sometimes they were also difficult to reach. They respond to portal messages faster than to voicemails.
Jun 29, 2026
I do not usually write reviews, but I hope my experience helps others trying to conceive. I spent a year and a half with RMI and Dr. Nayak. I recently switched clinics and was amazed by how much better my new clinic is than RMI. They are far more thorough. My new doctor recommended additional testing, which ultimately identified the reason our four transfers at RMI failed. RMI kept pushing us to do more egg retrievals, whereas my new doctor was willing to complete every possible test before transferring an embryo, which I appreciate. If things are not going well for you here, do not hesitate to switch clinics and get another doctor's opinion! I truly regret not switching sooner; it would have saved me so much pain, time, and money.

The Reproductive Medicine Institute has been an amazing place for my fertility journey. The staff is always kind, helpful, and respectful toward patients. Dr. Amanda is wonderful—she listens, acknowledges my concerns, and makes me feel comfortable throughout the process. I truly appreciate their care and dedication. Thank you

We have just begun our treatment journey at Rocky Mountain, but our experience has been excellent so far! Dr. Schwartz was very understanding and made us feel at ease. We are excited to continue treatment with her!
Feb 7, 2026
Communication is extremely poor. They rarely call and only send portal messages 20 minutes before the office closes, leaving no time to ask for more information. The portal also has no reply button. You must stay constantly alert to know what is happening. We often felt left in the dark. I did not receive medication instructions until the last minute, such as “Take this tonight!” Dr. Schwartz is very nice, but honestly, I have not spoken with her in over a month. Orders are often missed or placed late, even though timing is critical because women’s medication schedules depend on their cycles. Before our first cycle, my husband’s lab work was incomplete, yet no one on the team—doctor or nurse—noticed, and we received no notice about the missing test after his initial results arrived. I discussed these issues with nurse coordinator Ann, who also alerted the team that communication needed improvement. Unfortunately, their organizational structure has not improved. The patient experience is terrible. They use multiple payment platforms, each with its own problems, and the platform crashed more than once when I tried to pay. It is a complete mess. Choose another provider.

Extremely poor communication.

Dr. Nayak and her team made my dream of building a family possible. Using birth control to align my IVF protocol/cycle with other patients/clients was detrimental to my results. Dr. Nayak recognized this and created a personalized protocol/schedule for my treatment. She helped me significantly improve my egg quality, resulting in multiple PGT-tested embryos. As a clinician educator at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Dr. Nayak stays current with the latest research and treatment options. When I became pregnant a second time, Dr. Nayak recommended an updated treatment based on the course of my first pregnancy and advances in IVF since then. My RMI team included a nurse practitioner who worked directly with Dr. Nayak and was always available to answer questions and discuss any concerns. This was a very helpful way to get more information, especially during a process in which you always want to know more! It also helped reduce stress throughout the process and during the inevitable waiting periods in fertility treatment. Having the right IVF care team meant so much to me, and I will always be grateful to Dr. Nayak and her team.
Apr 16, 2025
The team at RMI is wonderful! From top to bottom, they were incredibly supportive and positive throughout this difficult journey! Dr. Nayak was outstanding and helped my husband and me with many important decisions and steps. I highly recommend this team!!

Fertility challenges are difficult, but after 12 months of TTC, my OB’s referral to RMI was truly a 10/10 recommendation. From the first day through graduation, and even afterward, communication was always clear, prompt, and easy. The front desk staff were kind and helpful, and Dr. Nayak’s entire team, especially Blanca, the nurses, and OB, made every appointment, ultrasound, and procedure comfortable. They were responsive and compassionate and always willing to explain things or reassure my husband and me. A special thank-you to the nurse who began every visit with a smile and a blood draw! We are deeply grateful to the RMI team and highly recommend them to anyone beginning a fertility journey.

Dr. Nayak and her team were very supportive and strategic throughout the process. We completed two egg retrievals and one transfer through RMI so far, and my son is now one year old! I am extremely grateful to the entire RMI team for helping us on our journey to parenthood. I highly recommend working with them.

The best place where I have received treatment! I have undergone infertility treatment at different places for 8 years, but none was this professional. Everything was clear and to the point. I liked everything from start to finish. I like their approach. They have a website containing your full history and test results. If you do not want to call and the matter is not urgent, you can post questions in your account. Appointments are easy to make, and the reception staff are responsive. Another major benefit is that they write detailed prescriptions and create a daily schedule for you. You do not have to think about what to take or how to take it. Every day specifies what to do in the morning and afternoon and how to take everything. It is very helpful during treatment 🫶 They send educational courses and informative videos explaining your treatment, what you are currently experiencing, what it is for, and how to give yourself injections. I learned to inject myself, which I never thought I could do. Everyone is polite and helpful. I even had to call once at 4 a.m. when I had some bleeding. They responded immediately and gave me instructions. I love this place. Thank you 🙏

After three failed IVF cycles, I changed doctors. Here is what the RMI team under Dr. Nayak did that helped me greatly: - They had me undergo additional testing to identify the real problem instead of merely saying, ‘It may be a sperm issue.’ They ruled everything out. It was frustrating, and I spent hours calling fertility care centers and pharmacies, but it was all worthwhile. - They used a more aggressive approach to stimulate more eggs and updated my medications more often, with more frequent appointments. - Dr. Nayak carefully reviewed my four-year medical history and developed a highly personalized treatment plan. Do not expect her to say many things like ‘I will pray for you,’ or to be overly warm with me. Although Dr. Nayak is very kind, I did not have much one-on-one interaction with her. This is a public post and it is still early, but we can say that Dr. Nayak’s treatment answered our prayers and changed our lives forever, giving us many hopeful options to continue growing our family.

They took the time to explain every step clearly, and their compassion played a vital role during this emotional journey. We are very grateful for their guidance and highly recommend them to anyone undergoing fertility treatment.

My experience at RMI was terrible. I spent 9 months there without an egg retrieval or intrauterine insemination—a complete waste of time. They did not tell me I had a cyst. Although cyst monitoring was covered by my insurance, they required me to pay out of pocket for the scan and then refused to refund me. For a year, I have been trying to recover the extra amount I paid. I repeatedly requested an itemized record of all my payments and the amounts reimbursed by insurance, but they always made excuses. It appears I will never receive my refund!

Dr. Nayak is wonderful! Thanks to the excellent team at the Reproductive Medicine Institute, my wife is now five months pregnant. The nurses and all staff were kind, thoughtful, and supportive. Every nurse we met was gentle, patient, and highly skilled. The entire team helped us feel reassured and hopeful during this challenging journey. Our experience was excellent from start to finish. We are very grateful to be patients at this clinic. They are truly outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone struggling with infertility. We are already planning for a second child and hope to receive their care again next time. Thank you, Dr. Nayak, and all the wonderful nurses and staff—you are amazing! 🌺🌺🌺

We’ve been trying to schedule an appointment with one of the doctors for weeks and completed the requested forms prior to scheduling. After weeks of silence, apparently the credit card authorization didn’t go through, instead of reaching back out to verify the information, we were told “i would of expected you sent over valid card information.” Why blame your patients and get defensive when we ask why no one just gave us a ring or even an email following up on the information? Mind you, we’ve already gone through one round of IVF with them a few years ago, and they have our embryos in their storage and tbh starting to feel like it’s being held hostage at this point. — Please make sure to do your due diligence with verifying your medication, dosage, and scheduling of it, as when I was previously a patient, the nurse assigned to me screwed it up multiple times and I had to request a new one. This is very concerning as it was during my egg growth phase and could have really jeopardized that round of IVF.

Throughout my treatment, the RMI Skokie team consistently provided tremendous support, communication, and care. They go above and beyond for their patients and truly look after you throughout your treatment.

I had an excellent experience with RMI and Dr. Nayak. The phlebotomists and ultrasound technicians, whom you see frequently during infertility treatment, were warm, friendly, and encouraging. The nurses responded promptly to all my questions. I underwent two intrauterine inseminations (IUIs), two egg retrievals, and a successful embryo transfer, ultimately becoming pregnant and delivering my daughter. Infertility treatment is very difficult, and RMI is a team you can trust to help you through the journey.

IVF is an incredibly difficult process that is physically and emotionally demanding. The RMI team was not only knowledgeable, but offered a level of support and care I had never experienced at any other medical facility. Dr. Nayak and nurse Ellie were outstanding and clearly explained what to expect during each of my four cycles. They are not only leaders in their fields, but also caring people who listened patiently to every emotion during each consultation. My nurse, Chrissy, answered every question I asked by email or phone—and I had many. Even when I repeated questions just for reassurance, she responded immediately and took every “Is this normal?” concern seriously. Raven, who drew my blood, never left a bruise despite the many blood draws, and always found a way to make me laugh. Ultrasound technician Christine was both professional and kind. Last but certainly not least, Rachel at the front desk is an angel. Kindness and understanding are invaluable during IVF. She always greeted me with a smile, helped when I was late, and scheduled and changed appointments, always with a smile... I am now 9 weeks pregnant and have just graduated from RMI. They will always be such a wonderful part of this difficult journey, and I will be forever grateful!

I had an excellent experience at this clinic and sincerely thank the entire team. Dr. Elena Trukhacheva guided me throughout, and I greatly appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication. I remained in regular contact with the nurses. They responded quickly, supported me, and patiently answered every question. Thanks to their attentive care and hard work, I am now pregnant and everything is progressing well. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking thorough, results-focused care.
