Reproductive Medicine Institute (RMI) operates its Oak Brook location at 2425 W 22nd St Ste 102 in Oak Brook, Illinois — a prestigious western suburb of Chicago positioned near the intersection of I-88 and I-294, within the bustling Oak Brook retail and corporate corridor. The practice holds a 4.1-star rating across 148 patient reviews and is LGBTQ+-inclusive, serving patients from DuPage, Cook, and Kane counties who prefer fertility care outside of the city proper. RMI is an established independent fertility practice known for its physician-centered model and personalized approach to complex infertility. Illinois patients can also explore the Illinois fertility clinic directory for additional providers.
Physicians and Clinical Team
RMI's physicians are board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who bring subspecialty expertise to the Oak Brook patient population. The practice emphasizes physician continuity, meaning patients are managed by a consistent attending physician rather than rotating through multiple providers throughout their cycle. The nursing team at the Oak Brook location includes experienced fertility nurses who handle cycle coordination, medication guidance, and monitoring scheduling. The practice's size allows for the kind of individualized attention that patients often find harder to access at large multi-location networks.

Laboratory and Success Rates

The practice participates in SART reporting, enabling patients to review cycle-level outcome data through the national registry.
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
Patients at RMI Oak Brook (Ste 102) describe a clinical environment in which the size of the practice works in their favor — enough clinical infrastructure to deliver high-quality fertility care, but small enough to maintain genuine personal relationships between patients and their care team. Reviews highlight the accessibility of physicians for questions outside of scheduled appointments and the nursing team's ability to manage complex stimulation cycles with clear, timely communication.
The W. 22nd St location in Oak Brook is exceptionally convenient for patients traveling from the western suburbs, with the Oakbrook Center mall nearby and easy freeway access from I-88, I-290, and I-294. Parking is plentiful and free at the office complex. Early morning monitoring appointments allow patients to reach their workplaces in Chicago or the broader metro area within a reasonable travel window.
LGBTQ+ patients at this location report that RMI's inclusive designation reflects the actual experience of care — staff are familiar with donor-assisted pathways, use appropriate terminology, and do not require patients to explain the basics of same-sex family building.
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 has a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate covering most group health plans with more than 25 employees. RMI's billing team is experienced in Illinois mandate compliance and can assist patients with insurance verification and prior authorization. Self-funded employer plans are exempt from Illinois's mandate under federal ERISA law. For self-pay patients, RMI can discuss cycle costs and may work with third-party financing programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does RMI Oak Brook differ from the Winfield location? Both Oak Brook locations (Ste 102 and Ste 200) and the Winfield location operate under the same RMI practice structure. The locations serve patients in different geographic areas of the western Chicago suburbs. Monitoring can sometimes be coordinated across locations for patient convenience.
Does RMI accept patients who have completed prior IVF cycles at other clinics? Yes. RMI will review prior cycle records as part of the consultation and can offer an independent assessment of prior results and recommend protocol adjustments for a new cycle.
Can I be monitored at Oak Brook while my retrieval is scheduled at another location? Cross-location monitoring coordination depends on RMI's current scheduling model. Contact (630) 954-0054 to discuss what options are available for your specific situation.
Does Illinois mandate coverage apply to LGBTQ+ patients using donor sperm? Illinois's mandate applies broadly to infertility treatment. LGBTQ+ patients using donor sperm may qualify for covered IUI and IVF services depending on how their plan defines infertility. The billing team can advise on coverage implications for specific family-building scenarios.
