Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

If you have a question for the doctor come prepared to ask it at your first appointment with her. The majority of my interactions were with the nurse and ultrasound techs.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sana Salih at University of Illinois at Chicago?
I went in for an ultrasound on a Saturday and she called me back into her office to discuss my risk for OHSS at great length and she also alerted me that I probably will have someone pushing down on my abdomen during the procedure because of where my ovary was positioned.
Describe the protocols Sana Salih used in your cycles at University of Illinois at Chicago and their degree of success.
I have PCOS so she prescribed low doses.Month prior to retrieval I was on ordinary prenatal vitamins from CVS; Aygestin 2 tablets daily as primer; Metformin 500 mg 3x/day; folic acid 1 Mg; ovasitol inositol powder twice a day (actually suggested by doc...I thought it was woo woo, but I took it). Day 1 - 8 of stimulation Menopur 75 IU; Gonal F 125 IU (Ganirelix 250 mcg day 6) Day 9-10 of stimulation Menopur 75 IU; Gonal F 100 IU Day 11 - Lupron trigger 100 units.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Illinois at Chicago. (Assigned nurse: Joy)
They were always kind and prompt. I had a snafu with the pharmacy in terms of billing that she helped resolve. She also showed me how to inject myself and was in the room during my transfer. It was nice having a familiar face in the room.

Describe Sana Salih's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at University of Illinois at Chicago.
She said they’d only transfer embryos based on the age I was at retrieval, so it would always only be one at a time.

He even recommend Maisel a good therapist so I can talk about my experience because I was falling into a depression and I was worried about how people felt about and my decision to do IVF. He explain to me that it is my decision and I should not worry about what people think about it if this is what I want to do I should go head and do it he made me feel that he made me feel like he really understood me.

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
We first saw Dr. Stephenson after our third loss and felt very encouraged by how thorough she was at our initial consultation. During the course of her work up, she treated me for chronic endometritis that took several biopsies and courses of antibiotics to clear.... She is very connected in the field and runs tests with other doctors across the country. Everything she does is based on numbers and science and data. I felt very encouraged to have her as our doctor, but it is frustrating that she favors natural conception
It's tough to see Dr. Stephenson at UIC Hospital because it's part of the Women's Clinic seeing all types of patients. It is not uncommon to be surrounded by pregnant patients waving their ultrasound pictures around (not like my experience at normal RE's offices where you are all there hoping and trying to get pregnant).... Jennifer [nurse] is very compassionate. During a hysteroscopy earlier this year they found retained pregnancy tissue
How was your experience with Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
Dr. Stephenson is a detective and will do all the necessary work ups to evaluate you as a patient. In our experience she is the only person we've encountered who focuses on recurrent pregnancy loss and staying pregnant (beyond just getting pregnant like most REs). She is very connected in the field and runs tests with other doctors across the country. Everything she does is based on numbers and science and data. I felt very encouraged to have her as our doctor, but it is frustrating that she favors natural conception when it feels like there are things we could be doing in a given cycle to improve our chances at a pregnancy.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
If you've experienced two first trimester losses or one late loss, I would get in to see her as soon as possible. I feel like if we had seen her earlier in this process, we would not have experienced our third miscarriage (second trimester loss).
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
We first saw Dr. Stephenson after our third loss and felt very encouraged by how thorough she was at our initial consultation. During the course of her work up, she treated me for chronic endometritis that took several biopsies and courses of antibiotics to clear. When we finally were ready to start trying again she suggested progesterone supplements after ovulation and baby aspirin. She definitely favors natural conception for her recurrent pregnancy loss patients.
Describe the protocols Mary Stephenson used in your cycles at University of Illinois at Chicago and their degree of success.
Dr. Stephenson favors natural conception. She put us on progesterone supplements post ovulation and baby aspirin throughout your cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Illinois at Chicago. (Assigned nurse: Jennifer Benson)
Jennifer is very compassionate. During a hysteroscopy earlier this year they found retained pregnancy tissue (months after my D&C) which was extremely scary to watch on the monitor. She reassured me that I was exactly where I needed to be to resolve the situation. She also answers all of my questions throughout the process via phone calls.

My first cycle with dr zamah, he just copied my protocol from a previous ivf cycle with a different dr.It was a fresh ivf cycle.Birth control.lupron.progesterone, although he tweaked it so i wouldn't get my ovaries enlarged (forgot technical word), which happened to me with previous dr.Transfered one 5day blast and was successful...Dr. Zamah may look young but he knows his stuff.He answers every question you can think of with a smile.He is compassionate:when I found out i was having a chemical pregnancy during an ultrasound i was very emotional, and when he found out he rushed to talk to me right away.He is very friendly and funny and makes you feel at ease with every appointment.Great bedside manner.
His nurses at uic are really busy and are prone to making mistakes...Weaknesses: nurses can get so busy that they can misplace your paperwork, will make you retake bloodwork because of this.Unorganized, saying you need to bring in one more thing of paperwork but you already gave it a week ago...Ivf protocol:they dont put you to sleep during procedures and you will be awake n feeling every pain out there (unlike other ivf clinics).

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Musa Zamah at University of Illinois at Chicago?
Im the type that asks too many questions and he gladly always answers all my questions and made sure i understand everything going on.my first ivf cycle with him was a success and when it was time to transfer to a reg dr he actually took the time to call me personally to congratulate me.my second cycle was unfortunately a chemical pregnancy/ miscarriage, and right after the ultrasound and bad news he took the time to talk to me right away even though he had dozens of patients waiting to talk to him/ have procedures done.

Second cycle with dr zamah was a frozen cycle.embryos i had made with previous dr about 4 years ago; chemical and eventually a miscarriage.Im currently on my 3rd cycle with dr zamah (4th ivf try).frozen cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Illinois at Chicago. (Assigned nurse: Karen)
Karen has been wonderful.She also doesn't answering my 100 questions and makes sure i got everything i needed; my instructions, my calendar, my work note, and communicates well.super lucky to have her as my nurse considering theres another nurse there who is just awful and doesnt belong in an ivf clinic.This unnamed nurse was not pleasant at all when it came to rescheduling me for test, bloodwork, and ultrasounds due to not being able to miss work.This unnamed nurse gave me wrong information, but fortunately for me being a ivf pro, i caught her mistakes.I feel real bad for the person who eventually gets assaigned to this unnamed nurse.The clinic gets busy and you need to be proactive.question everything.double check everything.bring a copy of all your paperwork with you at every visit because they can lose your results, paperwork etc.your medications...make sure you tell them when you run out of something...ie progesterone.a friend of mine who went to uic ivf clinic, ran out of progesterone, her nurse forgot to tell her she needed to keep taking it.most of the staff are wonderful and pleasant.again...except unnamed nurse.
Describe your experience with University of Illinois at Chicago.
Strengths :Dr. Zamah and cheaper ivf costs Weaknesses: nurses can get so busy that they can misplace your paperwork, will make you retake bloodwork because of this.Unorganized, saying you need to bring in one more thing of paperwork but you already gave it a week ago. One particular nurse at this clinic is simply an idiot and no compassion at all.Ivf protocol:they dont put you to sleep during procedures and you will be awake n feeling every pain out there (unlike other ivf clinics).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Musa Zamah at University of Illinois at Chicago.
I had insurance so my situation will be diffrent from others with no insurance.I do know ivf costs here are much more affordable considering they only do a few procedures (one specific week per month).
Describe Musa Zamah's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at University of Illinois at Chicago.
With multiple embryo transfers, in my case dr zamah strongly feels against it because of my bicournate uterus and history of incompetent cervix.

Dr Stephenson is a brilliant scientist. However, if your issues do not lie squarely within her interest of study, she shrugs you off. She is uninterested in the work of other doctors and does not care to try methods common at other clinics. As a patient, I did not feel that she took a personal interest in our case. She is always rushed, often running off to a conference, and her post-procedure write-ups regularly included errors...I primarily saw Dr Stephenson for RPL management
The clinic [UIC - Chicago] shares a waiting room with MFMs and OBs. For doctor's appointments, it is common to wait with obviously pregnant women and children. Monitoring is done before this other section of the clinic is open...I've had to call multiple times to get RXs called in. I've had temps call me when cycles have failed (rather than the regular nurse or the RE). There was an instance when the doctor said I was okay to cycle and the nurse disagreed. In the time it took to clear up the confusion the cycle filled and I was delayed two months.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
Do your research ahead of time. Have your questions ready and your history clearly written out. If you are interested in a specific treatment, bring supporting documents with you. Don't read into her tone; she talks to everyone that way.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
The majority of our appointments were spend correcting information that was put into the system wrong. Even after two years of treatment, she still looked at me like I was a stranger every time she saw me.
Describe the protocols Mary Stephenson used in your cycles at University of Illinois at Chicago and their degree of success.
I primarily saw Dr Stephenson for RPL management. She is an advocate of TLC aka weekly first trimester ultrasounds. She also very carefully monitors TSH.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Illinois at Chicago. (Assigned nurse: Karen)
Nurses tend to return calls by close of business the following day. They are generally compassionate. Their attention during procedures is excellent. Unfortunately, it wasn't clear if they were actually passing on information (from calls) to the doctors. There were several occasions where I felt as if they were making decisions for the doctors.
Describe your experience with University of Illinois at Chicago.
The clinic shares a waiting room with MFMs and OBs. For doctor's appointments, it is common to wait with obviously pregnant women and children. Monitoring is done before this other section of the clinic is open. The clinic is part of a very large health system so you have the potential to benefit from many doctors, in many specialities.

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
It’s worth the wait to get in to see her [Dr. Mary Stephenson]!...There was a 3mos waiting period from the time i called to schedule my appt to the time we were able to see her...in our very first meeting we found out i had miscarried for the 6th time in a row. The circumstances were very tough but dr Stephenson and her staff her absolutely wonderful and incredible supportive throughout the remainder of my visit.
they [staff at University of Illinois at Chicago] were just wonderful, supportive, friendly, kind and accurate...There was a 3mos waiting period from the time i called to schedule my appt to the time we were able to see her [Dr. Mary Stephenson]. On the day we went there was a pretty long wait in the waiting room from the time we checked in, close to an hour after my appt time. Once we got in though, the staff and doctor were fantastic!
How was your experience with Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
My first appt had been planned for months for a consultation to advise on unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss... weekend before the appt i found out i was pregnant unexpectedly, but the staff advised me to keep my appt. the first step in the appt was an ultrasound where we found that at 7weeks the baby’s heartbeat had stopped. So in our very first meeting we found out i had miscarried for the 6th time in a row. The circumstances were very tough but dr Stephenson and her staff her absolutely wonderful and incredible supportive throughout the remainder of my visit. We had driven in from 4hrs away for the appt and like i said had been scheduled to see her for months so despite the traumatic we wanted to make our time together count..-& were there for several hours after receiving the news of the miscarriage. The medical staff continued to treat us as if we were family, it was very appreciated.

Dr. Stephenson spent a lot of time documenting my case and instructing the students she had along during my care, instead of really talking to me...Be aware that this is a teaching institution and she will spend most of her time typing up your case during your appointment, instead of in f2f conversation with you...Dr. Stephenson is a recurrent pregnancy loss expert. We were really hoping to get answers beyond "it's unexplained, you have a good chance if you just keep trying, and use progesterone"
[University of Illinois at Chicago is] a university clinic. We flew into Chicago and took the train to save money. Expect long wait times, a cramped waiting room, to feel like a number, and plenty of paperwork and bureacracy. The staff was helpful, but the clinic was difficult to get into and felt hectic and uncertain when you would be seen...The coordinator for all your testing was organized and efficient, and even worked with insurance to clear my testing coverage
How was your experience with Mary Stephenson at University of Illinois at Chicago?
Dr. Stephenson is a recurrent pregnancy loss expert. We were really hoping to get answers beyond "it's unexplained, you have a good chance if you just keep trying, and use progesterone". After 5 miscarriages, you really want an answer and not to keep blindly trying.

Dr. Scoccia wasn't conservative with the medications and always proposed experimental drugs / supplements which I appreciated.
The clinic was always so busy and I had to keep reminding Dr. Scoccia of my history. It was impossible to get a hold of the doctor whenever I called.
How was your experience with Bert Scoccia at University of Illinois at Chicago?
Dr. Scoccia tried many things to determine the causes of my infertility. He explored many options. I only wish he weren't overbooked the whole time I was seeking treatments. The clinic was going through a transition which made communication more difficult.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bert Scoccia at University of Illinois at Chicago?
I would demand more communication from him.

The nursing staff only responded once a day which was frustrating. I wish they'd take emails to answer questions.

Success w/ Doc Not sure
He [Dr. Craig Niederberger] has been very friendly and has a good bedside manner. He seems very intelligent and very good at what he does, Although he is a very busy Dr and seems to have alot going on. Getting in to see him isn't always the easiest.... The use of Clomid with men to regulate hormones and increase sperm production
Some of the staff [at UIC-Chicago] is very nice and caring and informative and other office staff not so much.... They don't really have a concept of timing tho. They tend not to take into consideration that people who are TTC tend to not want to drag out the length of treatment unnecessarily....

Its a Nice place, staff is ok, we feel like we are in good hands with Dr Neiderberger. They don't really have a concept of timing tho. They tend not to take into consideration that people who are TTC tend to not want to drag out the length of treatment unnecessarily.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Craig Niederberger at University of Illinois at Chicago.
It adds up. Office visits and testing every three months, office visits in order to review results of testing, parking every time, price of tests, one plus side is if youre self pay(insurance doesn't cover fertility) they do give you a discount

I was recommended 3 rounds of clomid and timed intercourse, then IUI using clomid again. ... My appointments never felt rushed and I was able to get all my questions answered.
It was easy to get an appointment and I never had to wait long to be seen. ... However I often felt like I had to hunt them down for test results or any other information I was requesting. ...
