Institute for Human Reproduction

I was referred to Dr. Cohen from a highly regarded Dr. at University of Chicago. The moment I met Dr. Cohen I knew I was in the right hands. He made me feel super comfortable, we came up with a plan, went over all of the possibilities and quickly moved forward. He takes the time to really know your situation and give you the best advice. Through all of their thoroughness and Dr. Cohen’s expertise, after the first try I am successfully pregnant!

Unlike other reviewers, I had a very negative experience at this office. The staff were friendly, but did not seem to understand what to do. I filled out many different forms, and it didn’t seem like anyone even looked at them. The wait times were unusually long for my appointments, even for in-​demand reproductive endocrinologists, and I found it difficult to obtain clear clinical information. I didn’t receive follow-​up calls or updates, and found myself lost in the process. In addition, the billing process was terrible, almost impossible to talk to someone about my bill. Although I think everyone at the office had good intentions, it was an overall terrible experience for me. I switched to a doctor at Northwestern, and find it a completely different and much more positive experience.
It is possible that my experience was just a fluke, but I did want to provide a different perspective for anyone looking for information.

I was recommended to Dr. Cohen from a close relative and was not disappointed. I had previously gone through IUI unsuccessfully about 7 years before I made it to Dr. Cohen. I was anticipating a long, drawn-​out process and it was anything but. The facility is a well-​oiled «machine» with regular calls and updates from nurses and the doctor. As much of a nervous nilly as I was, my fears were always calmed and I was always given the information and reassurance I needed.
Dr. Cohen gave my husband and I very realistic expectations, so we went into our IVF treatment with our eyes fully opened. We were more than stunned to have been successful on our first try, especially after needing to have a polyp removed right before our first cycle. The pessimist I am was expecting two or three rounds at least.
I haven’t experienced pure joy in such a long time, and this was it. I cannot recommend Dr. Cohen more strongly. We are eagerly awaiting the birth of our first child.

I have been a patient of Dr Cohen’s for several years and have been beyond thrilled with his care and that of his staff! My husband and I are pregnant with our first child and We could not have done it without Dr Cohens support.

Before coming to IHR in May of 2012, my husband and I spent over two years at three other clinics. We had gone through several failed IUI attempts, as well as two failed IVF attempts. At that point, our hopes of having children looked pretty dismal. We found Dr. Tur-​Kaspa through an online search, so we really did not know what to expect. During our initial visit with Dr. Tur-​Kaspa, I really felt at ease – he conducted a thorough analysis of our medical history and gave us an honest prognosis. He then came up with a great treatment plan to go forward with another IVF attempt. Dr. Tur-​Kaspa was very compassionate (which was not what I experienced at the other clinics) and he was very knowledgeable and experienced. I did not feel like I was just another patient – I felt like he really cared about helping us achieve our goal. In fact, the entire staff at IHR was very professional and pleasant.
So to make a long story short, I ended up getting pregnant with twins! I gave birth to healthy boy/​girl twins in early 2013. We are so very grateful to Dr. Tur-​Kaspa and the entire IHR team in helping us realize our dream. I would highly recommend Dr. Tur-​Kaspa!

I went to see Dr. Tur-​Kaspa for egg freezing after deciding I wasn’t happy with my fertility doctor at Northwestern, and I am so glad I did so! First of all, the office support staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating when answering questions and scheduling appointments. If you ever have an issue after hours, there is a nurse on-​call to help you out. The ultrasound techs explain what is happening every step of the way and a coordinator (mine was Karen who was so helpful) calls every time testing is done to provide more information about the process. Secondly, Dr. Tur-​Kaspa himself is amazing. He takes the time to explain the whole process to you, answer any questions, and then formulate the best protocol possible for your particular situation. As I went through the process, he tweaked my protocol for me in order to get results beyond what I could have thought possible. The actual retrieval process was as painless as possible and yielded resultls that shouldn’t have been possible. I would highly recommend him, and his practice, to anyone going through the process.

While the doctors in this practice, joined recently by David Cohen, MD, work primarily with infertility issues, my experience with Dr. Cohen concerned the diagnosis, laparoscopic surgery, and ongoing treatment for endometriosis. I’m reviewing Dr. Cohen based on his services provided for this condition, but because of the excellent care I’ve received, I know he’d be a phenomenal infertility doctor as well. I can not recommend him enough! He’s made a huge difference in my past year!
First of all, I can tell when talking with Dr. Cohen that he really knows what he’s doing and he really cares about his patients. He has always treated me with respect, sensitivity, and he has even complimented me on my own knowledge of my condition. Many doctors react poorly to a well-​informed patient, which has always baffled me, but Dr. Cohen appreciated both my intelligence and my research and so I felt we were able to have very informative, detailed discussions. I learned so much. I don’t usually say that when dealing with a health professional. Usually, you feel bad, you want treatment, and that’s it. With Dr. Cohen, I feel like I’m really getting to the bottom of the issue, pardon the possible pun, and that he really knows what’s going on with my body and how to help me with it. With a condition like endometriosis, and definitely if someone is struggling with infertility, you are going to want a top-​of-​the-​line expert like Dr. Cohen guiding your progress.
Also, Dr. Cohen performed my laparoscopic surgery, and everything went very well. His follow-​up of the procedure was very detailed and informative and he even printed out photographs so I could see exactly what everything looked like, step by step.
These sorts of reproductive issues can be really daunting — even, you know, rather terrifying. The idea that something is incurably wrong inside your body, that it will only get worse, and that you have a closing window of time within which to conceive a child — the pressures are enormous. I feel incredibly grateful to Dr. Cohen for not only giving me help, but also giving me hope. I have every faith that my prognosis is at its most positive because of him, and that whatever comes next, he’s going to help me through with expertise and care.
