I highly recommend Dr. Beltos. She's super smart, aggressive and incredibly caring! She's a trailblazer in what she'll try and is super up to speed on the latest research.... After 10 transfers with a gestational carrier, and 6 retrievals done by me and a late miscarriage at 16 weeks, I was emotionally exhausted. Dr. Beltsos and team, not only listened to me but were aggressive in treatment and really truly cared about me along the way.

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
I came do Vios at a very vulnerable time in my fertility journey. After 10 transfers with a gestational carrier, and 6 retrievals done by me and a late miscarriage at 16 weeks, I was emotionally exhausted. Dr. Beltsos and team, not only listened to me but were aggressive in treatment and really truly cared about me along the way.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
I highly recommend Dr. Beltos. She's super smart, aggressive and incredibly caring! She's a trailblazer in what she'll try and is super up to speed on the latest research. I tell everyone I talk to in the fertility world to come prepared with questions and she's no different. She will never rush you, the only downside to that is sometimes you have to wait a bit at her office or for phone consults, but I'd rather that, than feel rushed in the critical time you have with the doctor.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
After being a fertility patient for over 6 years (2 years with our first, 4 years trying to conceive a 2nd child), I've never felt more taken care of by Dr. Beltsos and staff. They go the extra mile for you, and truly make you feel like you are a part of the team. They are extremely open to your thoughts and opinions ( I know a lot after being a patient for so long!), and really do care for their patients like no other fertility clinic I've seen.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Vios Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
IVF: my last 4 cycles have been a bit all over the place so Dr. Beltsos wanted to get really aggressive as she knew my emotional and financial resources to keep going were growing thin.
Meds:
Primed with estrogen patches and pills, and testerone
Lupron for 2 weeks before stimming
Follistim (started with a very high dose, 750 for 2 days)...then it went down to 250/150 for the remainder
menopur was mixed in half way through
gainerelex
triggered with ovidrel
Describe your experience with your nurse at Vios Fertility Institute. (Assigned nurse: Fran Black)
Fran was amazing! After working with many, many nurses over the years, Fran went so far above and beyond. I knew all along she wanted this to work for us, and I never felt like she was on a workday schedule where I couldn't get her after 5p or on weekends. She was amazing!!!
Describe your experience with Vios Fertility Institute.
Vios is new and growing rapidly. There aren't a ton of locations and the NS office (in Glenview) is only open a few days a week. With that said, I traveled down to wicker park and it wasn't a big deal. The office space is really nice and definitely has a calming vibe to it which is nice when you are getting poked all the time. :)
My favorite part was that you could meet with the nurses right after labs in a consult room to discuss results and next steps. Such a nice change of pace from having to wait all day to hear from your nurse!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute.
IVF was around $15,000 but that included some costs for screening our surrogate.

These were both unsuccessful. Due to my age and low number of eggs, we proceeded to IVF. Unfortunately, we had multiple unsuccessful rounds of IVF (fresh and frozen transfers).

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Dr. Beltsos is amazing! She is extremely intelligent and compassionate. She has excellent bedside manor and sincerely cared about me as her patient. Whenever I had questions or concerns, she addressed them. I followed her from FCI to Vios because I really liked her and trusted her. Thanks to Dr. Beltsos, we now have a beautiful, healthy baby girl!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Dr. Beltsos' practice at Vios has grown substantially because she is very good at what she does.

We started with 2 rounds of IUI. These were both unsuccessful. Due to my age and low number of eggs, we proceeded to IVF. Unfortunately, we had multiple unsuccessful rounds of IVF (fresh and frozen transfers). Ultimately, we decided to go with an egg donor. We did a fresh transfer from the egg donor and froze the rest of the embryos. We did PGS testing on the frozen embryos. Although the fresh transfer resulted in a pregnancy, we unfortunately miscarried at 6 weeks. However, since we did PGS testing, we were able to use the best frozen embryo for our next IVF cycle, which resulted in a pregnancy. We gave birth to a healthy baby girl earlier this year.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff at Vios is excellent! Some of the nurses are more responsive than others, but after some persistence I was always able to get a response to my inquiries.
Describe your experience with Vios Fertility Institute.
Vios is great! I definitely felt as though I received more individual attention at Vios than at FCI (where I felt more like a number than a patient). However, the Vios clinic has grown substantially since they opened, so I don't know if that has changed.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Vios Fertility Institute.
I appreciated that I could schedule the appointments early (before work).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute.
I mostly paid co-pays. However, due to all of the appointments, it added up quickly. I reached my out-of-pocket maximum for insurance 2 years in a row.

Dr. Beltsos is very knowledgeable and smart and warm. She will take the time to sit with you during your initial consultation and also for an IVF Checklist appointment. I also saw her when she did my saline ultrasound. But those are the only 3 times I've seen her and I've been going to the clinic for about 8 months. This may be totally normal because most of the time I'm there is for baseline and ultrasounds. She did diagnose me with endometriosis and PCOS, both of which I had no idea I had.

I'm very grateful for her knowledge, confidence and convenient locations and ability to know what will work best. She did tell me very early on that IVF would probably be my best bet and I now realize she was right. I took the fertility treatments very slowly and as naturally as possible at first.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Be sure to write questions down ahead of time so you get the most out of your appointments.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
The staff is very warm and remembers me as soon as I walk in. They are all very personable and Dr. Beltsos always has a warm smile even though I know she's very busy.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Vios Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
I did 3 Clomid cycles with 1 IUI. I think I cancelled one because I was afraid and I chose to try naturally for the other. I'm now undergoing IVF and will have egg retrieval soon.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I love all the nurses, but there's a lot of them and they change every time you're there. There is now a patient portal that they ask you to send messages through. The nurses respond on there, but sometimes multiple nurses will respond to the same question with different answers. This becomes confusing and frustrating when you're trying to find out who called in a medication order and who will be following up on the medications. You will almost always meet with a nurse after your bloodworm and ultrasound and these experiences can vary from very rushed with little explanation as to how you're doing, to very detailed. But they are all very very nice! This might seem silly also, but when they reply to messages on the portal, the grammar is very bad and it makes it look very unprofessional. I've been given instruction on medication changes with abbreviations and spelling errors and all lower case text. :/ This happens to be the norm unfortunately. Maybe a template should be used when replying to patients.
Describe your experience with Vios Fertility Institute.
Strengths: cleanliness, location is great, parking is free and usually plentiful
Weaknesses: not all phlebotomists check your name and label with blood which I require, communication through the portal is very informal and when lab results are uploaded there is no reference range posted next to them. So you have no idea if the numbers are good, bad, etc. I've seen other fertility sites that explain everything - this practice does not explain where you should be or what your numbers mean. They'll just upload the results and either call or message you with next steps. It would be nice to know where I should be during a certain time in my cycle or treatment. Reference ranges and more educational materials on each step would be a huge help.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute.
most was insured, except for the cryofreezing of embryos, which was approximately $1200 for initial freezing and $500 each year thereafter for storage.
Describe Angeline N. Beltsos's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Vios Fertility Institute.
The only time this was discussed was during the IVF Checklist meeting which was with another doctor in her practice, Dr. Jeelani. She did say that they only transfer 1 embryo at a time. I appreciate that and didn't press further for why.

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
I could tell that Dr. Beltsos is very passionate about her field. She seemed very engaged in the process and I feel like she knew my situation intimately. When an issue did come up she called me personally to apologize and work around my schedule to discuss.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Communication is key. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to push. No matter how great the clinic or doctor, you must advocate for yourself.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Dr. Beltsos is very personable. She is willing to answer all questions to ensure you understand everything involved in your treatment without making you feel unintelligent.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Vios Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
I had limited time to go through one cycle before I had to begin treatment for breast cancer, so we started with the meds to boost egg production once my next menstrual cycle began. Due to the quick start, they were able to provide me with medication that had been donated to me until my insurance processed approvals. I was at the clinic at least weekly for blood work and ultrasound to monitor progress and for Dr. Beltsos to monitor how well my ovaries we're responding to the medication schedule. Due to the positive response my body had to the meds, I have mature eggs ready sooner than anticipated and Dr. Beltsos shifted my egg retrieval date from a week day to a Sunday morning.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Every nurse I have encountered at the clinic was very nice, professional, and compassionate. However, communication outside of the clinic (telephone or email) is somewhat challenging. But it seems they are working to correct this issue as they now have a coordinator.
Describe your experience with Vios Fertility Institute.
Strengths of the clinic are that there are multiple locations in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin so if you are going to use a Gestational carrier your search can be broadened and stick with the same clinic you've built a relationship with. There are also multiple locations in the Chicago area which is sometimes a disadvantage because you're limited to making appointments with your particular doctor based on what office they are in on a given day, unless you want to chase your doctor around to the various locations.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute.
My insurance covers IVF but the billing showed the costs to be about $12,000. However, they do offer a great discount for those going through this due to a cancer diagnosis if insurance will not cover it.
Describe Angeline N. Beltsos's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Vios Fertility Institute.
We have not done an embryo transfer yet, but the doctor's position is that SET is typically best.

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Dr. Beltsos is warm, welcoming, and attentive - she is always so approachable! She was clear about risks and expectations, listened to my goals and addressed my concerns, and always explained things in ways that made sense. Whenever there was "big news" to discuss, she discussed it with me personally. I never felt like a number, even though she has a LOT of patients in her clinic. She really is an amazing provider - and so very knowledgeable and experienced.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute?
Honestly, my advise in regards to Dr. Beltsos personally is to go with an open heart, listening ears, and have faith... and you won't be disappointed.
About Fertility treatments in general: Use your employee FSA for deductibles and co-payments, since you'll easily use it up with frequent monitoring appointments and procedure deductibles. The clinic has amazing staff that can explain insurance coverage and billing, as well as offer insight into assistance programs.

Dr. Beltsos is a darling! She was thoughtful, attentive, personalized my care, remembered my and my partner's names, called or texted me with important results/updates, and always made me feel like she was fully present with me when we spoke.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Vios Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
Egg retrievals: Labs and U/S are done at baseline, and every 2-3 days. Methylprednisolone and doxycycline, follistimAQ (FSH), Menopur (FSH/LH) for stimulation, ganirelix for preventing ovulation, Lupron trigger for PCOS (like myself), Pregnyl/ HcG for folks not at high risk for hyperstimulation. I was advised against fresh transfer because I overstimulated each cycle.
40 eggs were retrieved and 33 preserved on my first retrieval; however, my second cycle which was planned for embryo preservation yielded much fewer follicles and poorer egg quality (16 retrieved, 12 were mature, 10 fertilized, 2 resulted in blastocysts). I was advised to add myo-inositol and CoQ10 for egg quality on my last cycle of COH. On the third (and hopefully last) retrieval for embryo preservation, 25 eggs were retrieved, 20 were mature, 16 fertilized, and we are still awaiting the final count for blastocysts.
Timed Intercourse: Clomid, then follistim and pregnyl trigger when I wasn't responsive to Clomid alone. U/S monitoring was used to confirm follicle maturation and ovulation.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, and attentive. They speak with patients at each appointment, can be reached by text or portal, and are always eager to answer questions and concerns.
Describe your experience with Vios Fertility Institute.
The clinic has multiple locations which are clean, welcoming, and the staff are top-notch. There is parking at some (but not all) of the locations. The staff - from the front desk to the admin staff to U/S techs and lab team are professional and friendly. I always felt like a person and never a number.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Vios Fertility Institute.
I was fortunate that my insurance covered much of the costs once I met my out-of-pocket expense and deductible. Without insurance, I would never have been able to afford my care. Honestly, it was costly even WITH coverage.

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
Dr. Beltsos is very sweet, almost to an in-genuine level. My consult appointments were generally pretty useless. They just involved her going over the results of my previous cycle, which I was well aware of, and then making a plan for the next cycle, which was usually changed, unbeknownst to me, and communicated via one of her nurses once the next cycle had started. She never really seemed that concerned that I had so many failed cycles when in treatment with her, and the only change in treatment approach was slight tweaks to stimulating drug doses. She also had a revolving door of nurses which was was concerning (how hard was she to work for?), not to mention, since the nurses were the medical professionals I regularly dealt with, it felt like I was constantly having to acclimate myself with those whom I was working with.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
You will have to self-advocate. Keep your own records of everything and don't be afraid to ask questions if your treatment plan doesn't seem quite right.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
I felt fairly regularly like my treatment wasn't individualized. There were a number of occasions where I obviously confused with another patients (one phone consult started "I heard about your bad news (test results)" when I hadn't yet had my test done, it was scheduled for the following day). Nurses would assume I was taking drugs that I wasn't medically cleared to take. I had to self-advocate a lot.

The initial strategy was just to increase the amount of progesterone in my body as I came into treatment with a couple chemical pregnancies under my belt. It started with Clomid and timed intercourse, then adding oral progesterone after 2 cycles, then adding IUI after one cycle. Three IUI cycles with Clomid and progesterone support, then FSH injectables added into the mix for the 4th IUI cycle. All resulting in negative betas.
IVF was next. The first cycle was Antagonist protocol which yielded a whopping 4 eggs. Two day 3 embryos transferred, leading to a negative test. The later 2 IVF cycles were Lupron Microflare protocols which were more successful, but still lacked the outcome which we were hoping for.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Fertility Centers of Illinois. (Assigned nurse: Betsy)
Dr. Beltsos had many nurses while I was under her care. It started with Fran and Jen. They were awesome, but soon transferred to a different department in FCI. Then there was Emily and Jessica, Emily is perfectly nice and on top of things, but was never my main nurse, Jessica left suddenly and was replaced by Betsy. Betsy was awesome and always there if I needed a question answered. She transferred to a different doctor at FCI after my second IVF cycle. Since then I've not really had a nurse that seemed as though she was assigned to me.
Describe your experience with Fertility Centers of Illinois.
This is a big clinic with a lot of patients. It's a pretty well-oiled machine. I'm easily able to get in and out for monitoring in the morning and get to work on time. Being a big clinic though it can feel impersonal, but I've managed to build relationships with the staff, so it doesn't feel that way anymore.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Fertility Centers of Illinois.
Monitoring appointments are so easy. They have early hours and you're normally in and out in under an hour. You start in a main waiting room, are called back in groups to the ultrasound waiting room and, after ultrasound, you go to the lab waiting room, then get your blood drawn, and go on your merry way. If you need to speak to a nurse, the phlebotomist can normally flag one down for you too. No issues.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois.
Thankfully I have very good insurance and state-mandated fertility coverage. Out of pockets costs were comparatively minimal (Freezing fees- $1200, biopsy fees- $2200, and prescription meds.)

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
Dr. Beltsos was a great doctor; however, I only interacted with her on my first and last appointment - so I interacted with her as a counselor, not a performing doctor. I interacted with nursing and admin staff 99% of the time and I was not given good enough guidance and instruction on what to do with the many at home tasks I had to complete (mixing medicine and injecting it).
After I brought these problems to the clinic's attention, they immediately provided me with support to correct them, took steps to adjust their larger program to incorporate the feedback I provided, and gave me a discount on my procedure. Due to the way in which they immediately and comprehensively course-corrected my experience, I recommend working with this clinic again.
However, patients should recognize this is a big business, and no matter which clinic/doctor you use you will feel like a number in the sense you will primarily be interacting with nursing and admin staff, not your doctor.

After I brought these problems to the clinic's attention, they immediately provided me with support to correct them, took steps to adjust their larger program to incorporate the feedback I provided, and gave me a discount on my procedure. Due to the way in which they immediately and comprehensively course-corrected my experience, I recommend working with this clinic again.

My situation seemed typically and not personal. Treatment seemed routine and not tailored to my situation. ...I wasn't really sure why I wasn't getting pregnant. It wasn't really explained it was more about adjusting the medication ... I should have stopped treatment with Dr. Beltsos, but I assumed she knew what she was doing but it wasn't until the last treatment that i realized I had exhausted my insurance benefit and everything would now have to be covered out of pocket.

How was your experience with Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
I wasn't really sure why I wasn't getting pregnant. It wasn't really explained it was more about adjusting the medication which I later understood after talking to a fertility nurse that it was way too much and not having any result of pregnancy. I should have stopped treatment with Dr. Beltsos, but I assumed she knew what she was doing but it wasn't until the last treatment that i realized I had exhausted my insurance benefit and everything would now have to be covered out of pocket. I probably should have changed after the 2 cycle.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
Understand her success rate with pregnancies. Understand where you have insurance limitations to determine when you might need to change course of action. Understand how they manage their lab and success rates of the lab locations. I found out more information after I had to find another course of action which ultimately was adoption.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois?
My situation seemed typically and not personal. Treatment seemed routine and not tailored to my situation.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Fertility Centers of Illinois and their degree of success.
Most of the strategies were focused on increasing my medication to produce more eggs. That didn't really result in drastically different results. The first egg retrieval we got one egg, which was devastating. I compared myself to friends going through the same situations and hearing they were getting 30 eggs with one retrieval was also disheartening. I wish I would have asked more questions and understood the success rates, but I honestly wasn't educated enough. I assumed the dr. knew what she was doing so I trusted I would just get pregnant.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Professional and sympathetic. They knew me and when they took blood they knew my aversion to needles so often used butterfly needles to ease the pain. They also gave me tips on what would help with getting my veins to stand out like being hydrated so I'd have any easier time with blood being drawn. Ultrasounds were also less awkward. They were very clear on what they were looking for and why. They also shared when they would have to maneuver the equipment differently to get a better read.
Describe your experience with Fertility Centers of Illinois.
Honestly I didn't realize there's more to know about the clinics. Again I assumed they were experts and knew what they were doing. There wasn't anything that I experienced that gave me a different impression. However, what I should have known was to ask the success rates for the different labs. Another dr. said just switching labs could make a difference. I wish I would have known that before exhausting my benefits.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Angeline N. Beltsos at Fertility Centers of Illinois.
I don't remember completely but I think it was around $45K/cycle for the drugs, retrieval and transfer. I had to pay minimal OOP expenses.

I don't need a lot of hand-holding- I just needed someone to get me pregnant and that is what Dr. Beltsos [at FCI] did after IVF cycle #1. I felt like she did listen to me when we met and answered all of my questions...[Nurse} Stephanie was amazing. I just wish that she worked full time!...Thankfully they scheduled monitoring appointments for early in the morning so that you could get your ultrasound and bloodwork done before heading into work.

Come to any appointment with questions.
Describe the protocols Angeline N. Beltsos used in your cycles at Fertility Centers of Illinois and their degree of success.
One month Lupron shot in preparation for IVF #1. Daily Lupron shots, Gonal-f, Menopur, Crinone. Cycle produced 10 eggs, 6 mature, 3 fertilized with ICSI, 1 transferred, 1 frozen. Cycle was a success and daughter was born in 2013.
Frozen cycle #1- daily Lupron shots, Minivelle patches, Estradiol, Crinone. 1 frozen embryo transferred, resulted in miscarriage at 7 weeks.
IVF cycle #2- Gonal-f, Menopur, dexamethasone. Slow to respond and I only have two mature follicles; cycle is transferred to a IUI. BFN.
Prior to IVF cycle #3- Schoyer protocol with Ganerelix and Minivelle patches to hopefully stimulate ovaries to make more eggs next cycle. Amazingly got pregnant naturally during this protocol so no need for IVF.
