    My husband and I are are ever so grateful to have found Dr. Irani and his team (at the Crystal Lake…read morelocation) for our IUI process. Having had a good experience previously with FCI (specifically Oakbrook Terrace, now Hinsdale), we decided to work with FCI Glenview due to being close to my work. Let's just say we were glad we made the switch and to one very close to home! From day one, working with AFCC was smooth and comforting. Insurance costs were discussed up-front, so we knew what was our responsibility. Each appointment was welcoming and generally convenient. On a side note, when I was at FCI, they opened their doors at 6:30 am for blood work and ultrasounds. The Crystal Lake location is open at 7:30 am...a little less convenient for those who need to go to work early but not a deal breaker. However, I only saw Dr. Irani during the initial appointment and worked mostly with his nurse, Ashley, for every blood draw and ultrasound. It looks like communication though with Dr. Irani and Ashley was solid because I can proudly say that I am 2 weeks pregnant from a successful IUI procedure (and after the 1st try!!). They know what they are doing! I will be seeing Dr. Irani for my last appointment, which will be for an ultrasound and I believe, final consultation. Thanks again, Dr. Irani, Ashley, and the rest of the AFCC team! We highly recommend this place to those living in this area!

    I do not have enough good things to say about AFCC and the staff that I have worked with…read more Infertility is not an easy journey and the staff was always compassionate and honest with me throughout my journey. I never once had a misstep in appointments, phone calls, medication etc. I was actually surprised at how quick the staff is to answer questions and set up appointments as I am sure I am not the only patient! While I hope I never have to recommend anyone close to me to a fertility clinic, if I do, I will recommend AFCC. Thank you to Dr. C, nurses Ashley, Aminty, Cathy and our embryologist (sorry- no name!) for making this journey a little easier.

    Dr. Miller is simply the best! I was hesitant to have my consult with him after reading a number of…read morepoor reviews online. However, all my worries went away when I met Dr. Chuck! He was so warm & extremely optimistic. This was my second consult- first with Randy Morris, who was a complete douche-canoe. So i was nervous I'd have a similar experience with Dr. Miller. He was the complete opposite. He really pushed IVF for us as it gave us the best chances. I was reluctant to jump right to IVF after not trying IUI, but I trusted him. And thanks to him, I now have a beautiful one month old baby girl! I'm so glad we trusted Dr. Miller and am incredibly grateful to him for giving us our miracle. My one complaint is there was a lot of miscommunication with his nurses not giving me some info, or they'd leave me a message after they closed for the day, and then I couldn't reach them for clarification without bothering their after hours line. But all that was worth it to be holding my sweet miracle now. This man works miracles!

    I actually had an excellent experience with the doctors for ob/gyn for over 8 years, which was…read moreterminated by the office staff in an office I have never been to or had an appointment with who got in there via computer system, actual relationship unknown other than the office she works in is probably 20 minutes from where I live per Google Maps. Demanded cash under the table in large amounts for further appointments that evidently had included terminating my insurance at appt dates, only for Naperville at one point, and false statements about accepting my insurance that when I went to the insurance company finally they did remedy as well as make sure she no longer was able to withhold records and for cash only for that either. But that is the one criticism I have, which is that office staff are able to and there was nothing I could do about it or the disturbance she was conducting for a good two weeks. At one point she went on at length about how the patients must learn all of their computer systems per office, and its evidently become somewhat like that with and via office managers in general at least at that point. I would actually recommend not returning any manager calls or emails that start like this and instead going straight to the insurance company to get your records and terminate the disturbance. In the long run HRD can sue the companies about staff vs us, but on this basis, ending the disturbance and stranger danger bullying and worse, is all you can do. There is law separating us from them with annual training course training required by HRA, but beyond that, you are being dragged into a war only they benefit from unless forcibly terminated. Licensing almost always also does this, but its also a long drawn out nightmare potentially while they keep going, vs insurance company vs to enforce the law to be on their provider list as clout being waived, able to complain on your behalf if they feel they should. Its pretty much all you can do. Also per insurance co as the only people who will and can protect you from them. And having the same problem reaching anybody who would provide mandatory licensed instead of the office staff. You have a computer system database invasion of your regulated info access by a practitioner unsupervised stranger danger when they do this highly illegal thing to patients and customers. Almost always anonymous due to illegality known to the employee. In banking at one point in the 90s, people like this were "borrowing" savings account deposits as 'free loans' to invest and return that got caught when they couldn't put the money back. The federal court issued a ruling allowing supervisor arrest for not monitoring the employees in that kind of case and theft "under their noses". Here they would need to block employees from unlimited access to our information and supervise them to stop them, and set computer system alarms and triggers notifying practitioners, but so far I know of nobody coming down on practitioners or other entities when staff do this but at US Bank also banking industry. In an analagous in that misuse regard, we now have to go somewhere else also for that much safety from the persons involved, of unknown relationship or what provoked this. But you can get your records out of them which are actually in turns out are supposed to be available on demand for free from the electronic portal but you have to know that and locate them. It was very sad in some ways after that kind of a very positive experience with the doctors who made a real difference vs what it usually seems or can turn into causing nasty problems that shouldn't be there., for years and years, and the office in Naperville or Lutheran General a couple of times. But it seems to be a coming plague with office employees and the public with licensed regulated services that aren't per regulation when the staff can turn them into this with a danger to you if they successfully entrap you into more than terminating the anonymous office person and getting your records, etc. Appears to be computer system office management system created as a problem in general potentially anywhere you go that could happen any time. Always licensed services are immediately out the window when it does. There is so little on practical basis that you can do about it and your safety, with your medical services out the window entirely, that its important to know how to at least get your records so you can get timely care somewhere else if at all possible and the insurance company can address what is supposed to be 30 days notice required also for services with a covering physician and refills, if you can't do it fast enough to go somewhere else in time for any reason.

    NOTE: Please note that dates for positive reviews are from years past!…read more Just stay away. I would give zero stars if I could. If Peter ever was compassionate, that was before his current burnout. I contacted Peter to begin acupuncture during my third IVF cycle (for male factor). I ignored a few red flags during my early appointments and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I understood he wanted me to give him four months to work with me before my next cycle. However, after consulting two of the top REs in both Chicago and NY (Dr. Catenacci at AFCC Chicago and Dr. Irani at Cornell NY) I made the decision that I would move forward with a cycle in November. While I understood he would be disappointed, I expected him to be professional. I took the time to explain to Peter that in addition to the expert medical opinions I received encouraging me to move forward in November, there were a number of other factors (both personal and financial) that made this timing right for me. Instead, Peter became extremely enraged and aggressive. He informed me that if I moved forward with an IVF cycle in November, I would be unlikely to become pregnant. And accordingly to Peter, if I did, it would not result in a live birth. Then, he went on to share with me the story of a 43 y/o IVF patient of his he saw that day. He shared that he encouraged her to take time off before her next cycle, but she did not (as if 43 y/os have a ton of time..). She then became pregnant with twins. He said he then did not see her for 6 weeks. She then lost the twins at 10 weeks. He blamed her loss on her not keeping up with acupuncture. My reason for seeking acupuncture is in large part stress reduction. I don't need an acupuncturist scaring me to death. While I expect an opinion and advice, he was not professional or compassionate. I will be looking elsewhere.

    Where do I even start? This is going to be long, but the IVF process is difficult, and the decision…read moreas to which clinic to go to is important, so, take your time to read it and don't make the same mistake we did. A little background. Me and my wife do not have fertility issues, we discovered we are both carriers for an extremely rare genetic disease, so that's why we are doing IVF, to not pass it on. Let's start from the beginning. 1. The initial meetings with Dr. Schell should've let us everything we needed to know. She was late for our first few meetings. Not 2 minutes late, like 20+ minutes late. This was after we sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes because no one was working the desk. Why wasn't anyone working the desk? Because the receptionist is not only the receptionist, she's was also the phlebotomist, and ultrasound tech. She did everything. 2. Communication is non existent. As we are going through the process, we are told nothing, we call, we message, time and time again, we can't get a call back, can't get ahold of anyone. It takes weeks (not exaggerating) to get a call from them to answer questions. We are told nothing except "we'll send a message to Dr. Schells team" and we hear nothing for weeks. In spite of the disgusting and shocking lack of communication, we somehow make it to egg retrieval. We have a great success of 27 eggs retrieved. We were so excited! Communication was a little better for a short time, then, it stopped again. We hear nothing, can't get ahold of anyone. Then on November 4th we get a call from Dr. Schell. She calls us to tell us none, zero, as in 0, of our eggs made it to blastocyst. Let me remind you, again, they tested us, and we do not have fertility issues. Heartbroken. Here's where we really get pissed off, Dr. Schell calls us, and doesn't know who we are. She thinks my wife is 26 (she's 33). Then shes talking about a fresh transfer, which we cannot do because the reason we are doing IVF (both carriers for generic disease). So we have to explain to Schell why we can't do that. Unacceptable insanity to call patients and know nothing about them. It's like they don't keep files on their patients. When she made those 2 unacceptable mistakes, I wanted to blow my top on the phone, but that wasn't going to help and it wouldn't them any less incompetent. So, I bit my tongue. 3. Fast forward to November 23rd. After 19 days of trying to contact them and being ignored, we finally hear back. The bad news? Once again they have no clue what's going on. The nurse who calls us has no idea we have already been through a cycle and are currently patients of theirs, no idea we've been trying to go through a 2nd cycle. She's clueless, utterly and completely lost. So this is the 2nd time we've been called and they knew nothing about us. We had to set up a "consultation" with Dr. Schell a week and a half out just to be able to have a conversation with our doctor, or anyone from her team that can answer a single questions for us. Yup, that's correct, we had to set up a consultation thats used for new/prospective patients just to be able to talk try and get questions answered. 4. So, 19 days after we got the bad news none of our embryos made it to blastocyst, they have not even started the process to get us set up for our 2nd cycle. They've sat on their hands and had done absolutely nothing for almost 3 weeks. It was at this point, we decided not to waste anymore time or energy on these idiots. As we are speaking with other clinics, a miracle happens, they CALLED US! They called to tell my wife to get back on birth control, we told them "okay, you got it", and went about our search for a new clinic. The hilarious part is, we never heard from them. As far as they were concerned, we were still going through a 2nd cycle with them. They didn't know we had decided to go to a different clinic. And we never heard from them again! So, if you go here, you will need to harass them non stop or they will literally forget you're there and you won't make it through the process. In conclusion: The IVF process is hard, it's emotional, it's draining. Me and my wife want so bad to just have a healthy child together, and this place is disgustingly incompetent. I can't believe they have a license to practice. As a husband who has had to see his wife go through non stop frustration and pain only to be made worse by the incompetency of this place, STAY AWAY from advanced fertility. This place is a dumpster fire, truly an unmitigated trainwreck. The lack of communication, and competency, it's truly shocking. I can't say enough bad things about them. I could go on for another 500 words about how awful they are. STAY AWAY! DO NOT GO HERE!

Claimed my insurance did not make any payments immediately to them but the insurance stated it takes 30 days for payment. They just slow like how insurance companies are. Felt the financial deparment did not understand how insurance works, how did they even get that job if they cant understand the basics and just flat out lie. I explained to them this and they refused to acknowledge. Probably some random person hired for the job without knowledge of how anything financial related works. I was self pay and understand egg retrieval and anesthesia and preservation is not covered but the self pay estimation included bloodwork and ultrasound as well. So they double dipped - bill me and the insurance company. They switched the justification charges up on meh and didnt inform me. I did many appointments with same progress, why need so many appointments when there is not change at all to my protocol. There is no clarity in the breakdown costs, its generalized so they can just make any claims to justify their charges. Read some other reviews in other forums with people stating similar shadiness. The doctor I had was good and staff did their job well. Efficiently run but their financial charges are like a scam. There is also something off about this in general.
