    德布拉·谢尔医生太棒了！她非常和蔼、耐心，而且很容易沟通。她耐心倾听我的所有问题和担忧，让我在整个就诊过程中都感到很放松。 我从未感到被催促，我真的很感激她体贴和善解人意的态度。这是我经历过的最棒的就医体验之一。强烈推荐！😊

    Dr. Schell is kind, patient and has wonderful bedside manner. She takes the time to explain everything, so you are very informed.

    I recommend Dr. Reshef with all my heart. Not only is he a great doctor, but the bedside manner is above and beyond. I always leave appointments with him educated, calm (which is hard to do lol), and hopefully. He is also realistic but kind.

    This clinic is a scam! The doctors have zero empathy: Dr. Debra Schell and Dr. Eli Reshef. They treat you as if they were treating you for free or doing you a favor. My experience at this clinic was the worst thing I have ever been through. This is an unscrupulous clinic! They only care about your money. They do not actually care about you! If you are seeking donor eggs or treatment using eggs, be very careful. The price seems very good because they claim to offer high-quality eggs from young donors, but after 4 failed FETs with donor eggs, I now believe this is false and that they are deceiving you. They took all our savings and, most importantly, our hope!

    I do not know how Debra Schell became a doctor or how she came to work in IVF. She lacks clinical ethics, is frustrating to deal with, provides poor follow-up, and delivers poor results. Sadly, whenever I think back on my IVF journey, she comes to mind and leaves me feeling bitter. I hope she does not ruin other women's experiences. The hiring process for fertility doctors should be better than simply valuing someone with a degree. With so many negative reviews, I do not understand how she is still practicing.

    AFCC is disappointing and terrible to work with. They lack empathy and attention to detail and do not understand what a patient-centered facility means. Dr. Sher should be ashamed of herself and her nurses, who offer nothing but poor attitudes and incompetence.

    The staff and Dr. Shell were warm, personable, and friendly. Honestly, the energy there was amazing!

    Great place! They are so kind and caring! I received my results the same day, and the nurse explained everything very kindly. I previously worked with a fertility doctor in Illinois, and the experience was terrible. But this place is absolutely amazing! Recommended!

    I would give zero stars if I could. Dr. Sher uses fear to make you believe you have no choice but to pay thousands of dollars for IVF. How could she conclude that after one quick ultrasound on a random day of your cycle? Completely wrong. During our consultation, all she did was discuss another patient who conceived multiples through IVF and how dangerous it was. She did not ask about my or my husband's medical history or try to understand us. She simply placed a large ‘infertile’ label on our foreheads, and I left in tears. This process is already stressful enough; find a doctor who cares more about you than money. To make matters worse, they lost our paperwork, so we had to complete it by hand at the appointment. The Downers Grove office is only a satellite location, and you must travel to Gurnee for all procedures.

    She was professional. She entered the room with a smile, was very friendly, and was easy to talk to. All my questions were answered, and my appointment was not rushed.

    Only certain people are treated with respect here, not everyone. I recommend finding a qualified gynecologist to help you through your journey.

    My husband and I transferred to AFCC after being unsuccessful at another clinic. Dr. Sher is an amazing doctor! She is patient and takes time to listen and answer all your questions. Everyone at Downers Grove is very kind and helpful! Thanks to Dr. Sher, my husband and I welcomed our baby boy! We are extremely grateful and blessed to be parents 💙
