Board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist

Dr. Ilana Ressler

When patients have questions or concerns and receive thoughtful answers from their healthcare provider, it goes a long way. This is the patient-first philosophy Dr. Ressler brings to Illume Fertility as a fertility specialist, board-certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

“Dr. Ressler was very welcoming and put us at ease. She asked relevant questions but also asked other conversational questions as well. She was thorough in explaining the potential causes of infertility and didn't question our belief that IVF was the appropriate course of treatment for us. She respected our comments and was very personable and friendly yet still completely professional."

Get to Know Dr. Ressler

Dr. Ressler began her education at Duke University, earning a BS in Psychology. She then received her medical degree at Case Western Reserve University and completed her residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

During her residency, Dr. Ressler was awarded the Professional Dedication to Residency Award in 2009, and the Overall Excellence in Gynecologic Care Award in 2010. In 2013, she completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Cincinnati.

"At my first visit, Dr. Ressler and her team realized how nervous I was and took their time to explain each and every detail I needed to know. Dr. Ressler is patient, kind and very thorough. At the end of the visit I felt so silly having been nervous when I am clearly in such caring and educated hands."
