    Initial consult seemed promising. Unfortunately after my first appointment during which there were complications from a procedure, it has been the WORST time and experience. I have been absolutely begging anyone within the office, including Dr. Schell’s care team and Dr herself, to reach out and actually provide follow up directions for medications. What seems the blatant disregard for follow up has made me question their trustworthiness. If I can’t get follow ups or anyone for that matter to contact me, how can I trust them to care for myself and my reproductive health? Zero stars if I had the option. The bills are sure coming in though!! Don’t waste your time. It seems like if you have complications, you’re thrown to the back burner because you may not be a reliable source of income for them. Such a shame.

    I spend over 15 months getting fertility treatments done. I have insurance and hit my deductible by January 20. 21. My insurance company paid them over 152,000.00 and I have an outstanding bill for 475.00 that they refuse to fix so my insurance company can pay it. I have called over 40 times to speak with Tiffany and my insurance at the same time and Tiffany refuses to fix the code my insurance company needs. So here is the heartbreaking part. After all that money and time and the damage to my body for 15 months of fertility treatments. I get to be reminded I have no baby ever month they send me a bill I don't owe.

    Two years ago it was the best clinic. Now that they have changed all the staff and doctors, it has become a horrible place. It's all about getting more money out of you.

    Incompetent, rushed staff, and a doctor who doesn't listen. My experience here was horrible. The staff is super rushed doesn't even treat you like you're a person. As I was getting my blood work done, I mentioned that I was starting to feel lightheaded. I was told to just stick it out and they didn't want to have to remove the needle and have to reinsert it. When I had my ultrasound I told the lady I had chronic pain there and to just be as careful as possible. The process was fine until the end where she yanked the probe out of me, causing me pain that lasted several days. I had medical records sent there 2 weeks ago, as they requested, and I still haven't heard from them. And to top it all off, the main thing I talked to the doctor about, she didn't even put in my notes.

    They are great! Just one point: sometimes nurses place wrong order or late order. But that's it. In general, they are the best clinic with kind and caring doctors and nurses. Dr. Irani is the best. He has anything you could ask for a perfect doctor.

    Dr. Irani and his staff gave us the most beautiful gift of our lives. Prior to being seen at this location, I had gone through fertility treatments at another clinic (out of state) for about a year. It wasn't until I came to AFCC where I realized what an efficient fertility clinic looks like. They have a great system. The staff is so welcoming, encouraging, and everyone is just very kind, from the front desk to the ultrasound techs. Dr. Irani is a genius - from day 1 I've fully trusted his recommendations, and after 2 cycles, we ended up conceiving our little girl! My husband and I thank God every day for having met Dr. Irani, we are forever grateful for him choosing this field, and for blessing us with his expertise.

    My husband and I consulted with three clinics upon discovering my DOR diagnosis. From the initial consult, we felt confident in Dr. Irani. During our consult, he was informative, compassionate, realistic and optimistic. This being our first IVF cycle, we were understandably intimidated and nervous about the process. The AFCC staff eased some of that anxiety with their kind and compassionate care. The egg retrieval and transfer process was incredibly efficient and organized. We are without a doubt, happy that we chose AFCC for our first IVF cycle. We are so grateful to Dr. Irani and his approach, skills and compassion as we celebrate another milestone this week being 10 weeks pregnant. Thank you AFCC for your incredible care and compassion! UPDATE: Dr. Irani is still wonderful and we have a beautiful 3 month old! Thanks AFCC!

    Dr. Irani and his staff have been so nice. Nurse Aminty is very responsive and so appreciative. This is my 2nd surrogacy, but 1st time with this clinic. I have been very pleased with my level of care. Also, the ultrasound tech at the Chicago office is just a ray of sunshine!!

    If I'm being brutally honest, (I always am), the staff at this place drove me bonkers at times. The support staff, front desk etc are extremely unorganized. BUT, Dr. Catenacci made it all worth it. After 4 failed IVF transfers at other clinics, Dr. Catenacci effortlessly got me pregnant FIRST try. She always gave me the best, most honest advice too. I can't express how much we love this woman. She's literally a miracle worker and our lives have become 1000% happier since having our son. No words can ever thank her enough. I highly recommend this practice to everyone going thru infertility. We went there all the way from Ohio too. SO worth it!

    This is a very busy office as they are taking on as many patients as they can. While communication isn't always available, they are very much on top of your procedures, medications, etc. I had one miscommunication on a procedure date, my concerns were addressed and they more than redeemed for the incident. Dr. Irani is practical, efficient, and empathetic and his care team is very helpful through the messaging app they use. Only additional thing I could request is a more one-on-one on approach with the dr. which isn't really an option in this process. I would certainly recommend them to anyone ttc with help.

    After my first visit, Dr.Catenacci gave me and my husband hope to increase our family. We've been trying for some time now. We are very hopeful and wish to have successful IVF. Thank you!

    My husband and I just had our first consultation with Dr. Irani (second clinic consult overall). We are so happy we decided to meet with Dr. Irani. From the moment we started talking with him we felt like we found the right fit for us. He was very educational, genuine and optimistic. For the first time since our infertility journey started, I walked away feeling optimistic about our future. Although we are anxious to move forward, we feel confident that we are under great care with Dr. Irani.

    We loved Dr. Reshef! He made us feel so comfortable and we are excited to start our fertility journey with him.

  • 2/5 Trina A. 1 year ago on Google
    We were cash paying patients, had to pay for medications that I didn't even use. We did PGS testing and our embryo came back abnormal, the nurse is the 1 to call and tell me and could not even explain to me what exactly was wrong. The doctor never called us. I had to Google the abnormalities that was given from Cooper ( the testing center)Not happy with the lack of communication. Really felt they got our money, wish we would have just adopted

    Dr. Debra Schell was so kind and helpful. She was able to answer questions and explain everything to me where I could understand. I am very excited to continue my journey with advanced fertility center of chicago

    We are just starting our journey and although I’ve been doing my research on my own Dr. Irani was very thorough with reviewing all of our different options and next steps.

  • 5/5 Judy k. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent first impression with Dr. Irani through our virtual consult visit. He explained at a level we understood and appreciated. He was kind and sincere.

  • 5/5 Yessenia M. 1 year ago on Google
    I really appreciated Dr.Schell taking the time to answer my questions and being very thorough in our history. Having a doctor who is willing to sit with the whole picture and not dismiss details felt amazing and am not getting a diagnosis and treatment I have been advocating for. Thank you for giving me hope.

  • 5/5 KELLY A. 1 year ago on Google
    Day one....consult. Dr. Irani was friendly and he made me feel comfortable. Not at one moment did I feel rushed. He was honest and I didn't feel like he was trying to upsell the whole process. I look forward to our possibilities.
