Being a parent is the most important thing in my life, and helping others become pregnant is the best job in the world. After beginning my fertility training, I was diagnosed with secondary infertility. Going through the full range of infertility therapy and pregnancy loss has deeply impacted the way I care for patients. 

My primary goal as a reproductive physician is to provide compassionate and individualized care. I specialize in treating female health conditions that impact fertility, including endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as assisted reproduction treatments such as in vitro fertilization. Other interests of mine include fertility care for the LGBTQ+ community, recurrent pregnancy loss, and premature ovarian insufficiency. 

As the director of education at Fertility Centers of Illinois, I enjoy being able to impact the future of reproductive medicine by teaching the next generation of gynecologists. In my spare time, I create health content for social media platforms (find me on Instagram and TikTok as dr.allison.rodgers), where I share information about reproductive health. 

I am passionate about spreading accurate health knowledge through technology and so thrilled to be on the board of Flo’s team of experts.

I live outside Chicago with my husband and three children. When not helping patients, I spend my time riding my horse.
