Eli Reshef, M.D.

About

Eli Reshef, MD was born in Israel and followed his future wife to the United States. His biography at Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago puts that first, then runs through the standard American training sequence behind it: undergraduate studies at Arizona State University, a medical degree at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Alabama Hospitals in Birmingham, and a reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. No year is published for any of those stages.

His clinical profile is written as a list of operations. The clinic states he has extensive experience in reproductive surgery, and then names the procedures: correction of birth defects of the reproductive tract, treatment of endometriosis, removal of fibroids, fallopian tube cannulation and repair, and in vitro fertilization. His Areas of Specialty read Infertility, Operative Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy, IVF, and Egg Freezing. He is one of the practice’s four reproductive endocrinologists and is listed on the team page as a partner, and the clinic’s own page describes him as seeing patients in the greater Chicagoland area.

He is board certified in both reproductive endocrinology and infertility and obstetrics and gynecology, in the clinic’s wording. That page also carries his own account of why he chose the field: “Family-building is my passion, and without hesitation I can say that even after many years of service to the community, I still view work as a joy.” The biography adds that his background and extensive travel gave him a strong sense of social awareness and appreciation for diversity.

What is not on the record is worth naming, because patients ask about it. No dates for training, no certification body names, certificate numbers or certification years, no society positions, no publication list. He states that he speaks and understands several languages, but the clinic names none of them, so English is the only language recorded here.

Clinical Expertise

• Reproductive surgery: the operations the clinic itemizes by name — correction of birth defects of the reproductive tract, treatment of endometriosis, removal of fibroids, and fallopian tube cannulation and repair
• Operative hysteroscopy: listed in his Areas of Specialty, the camera-based route into the uterine cavity for lesions inside it
• Laparoscopy: also listed, the approach used for endometriosis and pelvic disease
• IVF: cycle management from stimulation and monitoring through retrieval and transfer, named both in his specialties and in his surgical experience line
• Egg freezing: named in his Areas of Specialty
• Infertility evaluation: the first item in his specialty list, covering the assessment that decides whether surgery, IVF or another route comes first

Why Choose Dr. Reshef

Anatomical causes come before the cycle, and he treats both. A malformed reproductive tract, fibroids, endometriosis or tubal blockage can all turn up during an infertility workup, and then someone has to decide whether operating first changes the odds. His published scope runs from correcting those structures to doing the transfer, so the same physician evaluates the anatomy and plans the cycle rather than handing the decision to a surgeon in another practice.

Fallopian tube work is named specifically. Tubal cannulation and repair appear in his surgical list. Whether tubes can be reopened or should be bypassed with IVF is a real fork in tubal factor infertility, and because the reconstructive option is documented for him, that question can be answered here rather than taken for granted.

Two minimally invasive routes on one page. Operative hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are both listed in his Areas of Specialty — the camera into the uterine cavity and the camera into the pelvis, which between them cover the compartments where fibroids and endometriosis sit.

Dual certification, as the clinic states it. Reproductive endocrinology and infertility plus obstetrics and gynecology. No college, certificate number or year is published, so read this as the practice’s statement about him rather than a credential you can verify in a registry.

Advocacy and service recognition, nothing more. His awards block lists the RESOLVE National Fertility Association Hope Award for Advocacy, the ASRM Suheil Muasher Distinguished Service Award, and a Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood. All three are advocacy and service recognitions from patient, professional and reproductive-health organizations. They are not clinical-performance rankings and they are not “top doctor” lists, and this page does not present them as either.

Professional Affiliations

Certification as published: board certified in both reproductive endocrinology and infertility and obstetrics and gynecology. The structured data on his page records his medical specialty as Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, which matches. Training: Arizona State University, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Alabama Hospitals for residency, University of Louisville for fellowship.

Awards as published on his page, verbatim: RESOLVE National Fertility Association Hope Award for Advocacy; ASRM Suheil Muasher Distinguished Service Award; Margaret Sanger Award (Planned Parenthood). RESOLVE is the national fertility association whose name also appears in the clinic’s footer membership badge; ASRM and Planned Parenthood are named only in the award titles, and the clinic publishes no further description of either. All three recognitions concern advocacy and service rather than surgical results or success rates, and they are awarded to him as an individual, not to the clinic.

No committee memberships, society offices, teaching appointments or publications are published for him in our sources. Languages: only his own statement that he speaks and understands several languages, with no language named, so English is recorded as his practice language.

Suitable For

• Infertility with a congenital abnormality of the reproductive tract: correction of birth defects of the reproductive tract is named in his surgical experience, and these cases usually need a structural plan before a stimulation plan
• Tubal factor infertility: fallopian tube cannulation and repair are listed, which makes repair-versus-IVF a discussion you can have with the operating physician here
• Endometriosis that may require surgery: appears in both his surgical list and his specialty list, alongside his laparoscopy listing
• Fibroids affecting fertility or implantation: fibroid removal is one of the operations named in his surgical experience
• Patients wanting the surgical opinion and the cycle from the same physician
• IVF and egg freezing: both named in his Areas of Specialty, so the cycle and the preservation option are discussed with the same physician
