Northwestern Medicine named medical director of new fertility clinic

HIGHLAND PARK - Eve Feinberg, M.D., has been named medical director of Northwestern Medicine Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Services Highland Park.

The new north suburban clinic will include a full staff and is essentially an extension of the comprehensive Northwestern Medicine infertility care from downtown, said Jared C. Robins, M.D., chief of the division of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

"Almost one in eight couples have difficulty getting pregnant so there is an incredible need for high quality fertility services in the suburbs," said Robins, who is also the medical director of fertility and reproductive medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "We are bringing Northwestern Medicine's world-class care to where our patients live and work. With Dr. Feinberg, her patients have not only an expert they trust but also a top researcher and a leader in the field who offers the full range of fertility services."

The Highland Park clinic has the full resources of Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital and Northwestern Memorial Hospital, home to one of the nation's premier infertility treatment centers.

Dr. Feinberg is board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She completed her residency at the Feinberg School of Medicine and her fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. She has also published more than a dozen research papers and is the founder and executive director of the Kevin J. Lederer Life Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to individuals and couples diagnosed with infertility.
