I started working with RMI in January and am happily pregnant 9 months later. I worked with Dr. T, which outside of our first intake call I never actually saw or spoke with her but I didn't really care since I knew she was assessing my labs and making my plan of care. Dr. Nayak did my retrieval and FET, and she was the sweetest human I've ever encountered. For your retrieval and transfer you work with whoever is on rotation. RMI may not be the place for you though if you are a very touchy feely want to talk to someone on the phone all the time type person. Everything is done through their messaging app, which I liked because I tend to forget things if told to me over the phone. However if I did have questions I always sent them through the app and got a message back the same day or if I was really concerned I called the front desk and would speak with my nurse team the same if not when I called. RMI knows what they're doing and they are great setting you up with a plan and executing, you just don't get all the extra touchy feely stuff that maybe some other clinics offer. The fact that they have multiple locations in the Chicagoland area is also very nice and you never wait more then a couple minutes for any appointments, they are all very punctual. Overall though, I am extremely happy with my treatment and care team and would 1000% recommend.

** this is a review of the ladies at the downtown location, NOT RMI as a whole ** I cannot say enough great things about the downtown location. From the second you walk in, Lupe has the kindest voice and it always brought me so much comfort to see her. She answers the phone quickly, is incredibly efficient, but more importantly, is an absolute sweetheart and is so understanding. Angela and Marie were my ultrasound techs, but became my friends! They were so comforting, always listened, gave me hugs when I needed them, and made a really uncomfortable and painful process easy. I really came to love these ladies, and am so thankful that they were part of my process. Thank you Lupe, Angela, and Marie!!

Does Reproductive Medicine Institute offer egg donation for IVF treatment? expand_more

Yes, Reproductive Medicine Institute provides egg donation as a standard IVF option. Prospective recipients can choose from an extensive donor database, which includes both anonymous and known donors screened according to FDA guidelines for infectious disease and genetic health. The clinic coordinates the full cycle: donor ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization with the recipient’s partner or donor sperm, and embryo transfer to the recipient’s uterus. Success rates for donor‑egg IVF are typically higher than autologous cycles, and the institute’s experienced embryology team ensures optimal embryo culture and grading before transfer. Patients receive comprehensive counseling throughout the process to align expectations and outcomes.
