Nasir Rana, MD, MPH — An Honest Editorial Review
Among fertility clinics in Illinois, the west-suburban Chicago corridor has a handful of long-established reproductive endocrinology programs, and Reproductive Medicine Institute (RMI) in Oak Brook is one of the oldest. Dr. Nasir Rana — one of RMI's founding partners — has practiced reproductive endocrinology in the Chicago area for more than three decades. He sees patients at 2425 W 22nd Street, Suite 200, on the west side of Oak Brook, where RMI runs its main office, IVF laboratory, and ambulatory surgery center.
Dr. Rana is dual board-certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He also holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) with a focus on women's health from the University of Illinois School of Public Health in Chicago.
Training and Credentials
Dr. Rana earned his medical degree from King Edward Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1969. He completed his OB/GYN internship and residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, followed by a postgraduate research fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center / Rush Medical University. He is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and holds a Certificate of Special Competence in advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery from the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists.

Success Rates and Lab Quality
Reproductive Medicine Institute reports cycle outcomes to SART. You can view the program's SART Clinic Summary Report and the CDC ART Success Rates. Raw averages combine very different ages and diagnoses — always compare within your own age band. Our how to read IVF success rates guide covers the common traps.
Patient Experience
Dr. Rana's Google profile shows a 5.0/14 rating. That is a small review volume, so weigh it as one signal among several rather than a definitive track record — but the themes in public reviews point to an unhurried consult style, extensive surgical experience, and continuity across a long fertility workup. RMI's Oak Brook office is a short drive from I-88 and I-294 and has ground-floor parking, which matters when you're coming in for daily stimulation monitoring.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while waiting for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist like Dr. Rana is the right next step.
Insurance and Cost in Illinois
Illinois has had one of the strongest fertility-coverage statutes in the country since the Family Building Act of 1991, which requires many group commercial plans covering more than 25 employees to include diagnosis and treatment of infertility — including up to four completed oocyte retrievals for IVF, with additional retrievals if a live birth follows. Self-funded (ERISA) employer plans are exempt, and individual/small-group plans can vary. RMI contracts with most major commercial insurers; verify benefits before your first consult.
