Physicians and Clinical Team
Invia Fertility was built around a team of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists whose training spans prestigious academic and clinical programs. The physicians at the Arlington Heights location are fellowship-trained in reproductive endocrinology and infertility — the post-residency subspecialty required to practice IVF and manage the full spectrum of infertility diagnoses.
Dr. Angeline Beltsos, MD is one of the founding physicians of Invia Fertility and has been recognized as one of Chicago's leading fertility specialists. She combines clinical expertise in IVF with a commitment to patient education — a combination that earns her consistent recognition in patient reviews and physician rankings.
Dr. Meike Uhler, MD is another senior physician in the Invia network with a research and clinical background in reproductive medicine. Dr. Uhler's work in patient-centered fertility care and reproductive immunology complements the team's clinical depth.
Additional reproductive endocrinologists rotate across the Invia network's locations, including Arlington Heights. The clinic's nursing team, embryology staff, and care coordinators are trained to work within Invia's standardized protocols — which means patients transitioning between locations within the network experience a consistent standard of care.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Invia Fertility's embryology laboratory is staffed by experienced embryologists who manage fertilization, extended culture, blastocyst grading, PGT biopsy, and vitrification. The practice uses established blastocyst culture protocols, which have become the standard approach for IVF programs seeking to optimize embryo selection before transfer. Quality control systems across the Invia network support consistent laboratory performance across locations.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The Arlington Heights location is designed for the northwest suburban patient population — professionals commuting from Palatine, Barrington, Hoffman Estates, and surrounding communities who need a fertility clinic accessible without traveling into the city. The Suite 3400 address in a professional medical office complex provides a private, comfortable environment for monitoring visits and consultations.
Invia's model emphasizes accessible care: extended hours for monitoring appointments, online patient portal tools, and care coordinators who keep patients informed between visits. The northwest suburban location reduces the morning commute burden for the frequent early-monitoring appointments that characterize an IVF stimulation cycle.
Patient reviews of Invia Fertility consistently highlight the attentiveness of the clinical team and the sense that patients are treated as individuals rather than case numbers. The practice culture reflects the founders' emphasis on patient communication — physicians are expected to spend meaningful time during consultations explaining protocols, interpreting test results, and helping patients make informed decisions.
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 — including 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 they wait 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 is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Illinois is one of the states with a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate. Illinois law requires most group health insurance plans issued in the state to cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including IVF, up to four egg retrievals per lifetime. The mandate covers IUI, IVF, egg freezing for medical indications, and related fertility services.
Importantly, not all plans are subject to the Illinois mandate. Self-insured plans governed by federal ERISA law are exempt, as are some smaller employer plans. Invia Fertility's financial counselors are experienced at navigating Illinois insurance requirements and can help patients determine what their specific plan covers. Patients whose plans do not cover IVF can ask about financing options, shared-risk programs, and any bundled pricing structures Invia makes available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Illinois really mandate IVF coverage for most patients? Yes. Illinois has one of the strongest fertility insurance mandates in the country, requiring most state-regulated group health plans to cover IVF up to four egg retrievals per lifetime. However, self-insured employer plans (common among large national companies) are exempt under federal ERISA law. Verifying coverage before starting treatment is essential.
How many locations does Invia Fertility operate? Invia Fertility operates multiple locations across the Chicago metropolitan area, including in the city and suburbs. The Arlington Heights location at 880 W Central Rd specifically serves the northwest suburbs and is a full-service clinic rather than a satellite-monitoring-only site.
What is the difference between IUI and IVF, and how do I know which I need? IUI (intrauterine insemination) places prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation and is appropriate for unexplained infertility, mild male-factor, or ovulatory disorders. IVF (in vitro fertilization) is recommended for blocked tubes, severe male-factor, diminished ovarian reserve, repeated IUI failures, or when preimplantation genetic testing is desired. The initial diagnostic workup helps the physician recommend the appropriate starting point.
Does Invia Fertility provide services for LGBTQ+ patients? Yes. Invia is LGBTQ+-inclusive and provides reciprocal IVF (where one partner provides eggs and the other carries the pregnancy), donor sperm insemination, and gestational carrier coordination for same-sex couples and transgender individuals. Financial counselors can provide cost estimates specific to LGBTQ+ family-building pathways.
