He is a Dallas native who has been practicing infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Texas since completing his training in 1993. Please review our page discussing why a board certified fertility specialist should be consulted.
Dr. Chantilis was a faculty member at UT Southwestern

in January, 1999 at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, TX. Dr. Chantilis
has been the leading provider of IVF services at Presbyterian
Hospital ARTS program since 1999 having conducted approximately
2000 donor egg retrievals since that time.
He alone has conducted over 400 donor egg cases in his career making him one of the most experienced fertility specialists conducting egg donation in the country, and probably the most experienced fertility specialist in the Dallas and the Ft. Worth, TX metroplex. Our donor egg program in Dallas, TX is one of the most successful in the country.
In 2005, Child magazine named Presbyterian Hospital ARTS Program one of the “10 Best Fertility Centers” in the country, a considerable honor given that Dr. Chantilis has been the leading volume Dallas Texas fertility specialist since he joined the program. 
Dr. Chantilis earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in chemistry at Southern Methodist University prior to attending the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. He completed his Medical Degree in 1987 before pursuing residency training in obstetrics and gynecology. During his senior year in medical school, Dr. Chantilis first encountered the relatively new field of infertility during a rotation at a private hospital in Dallas that sparked his interest in the field of reproductive medicine.
Dr. Chantilis moved to Houston, Texas to complete his internship and residency training at Baylor College of Medicine located in the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. During his medical training in obstetrics and gynecology, he was fascinated with the surgical treatment of infertility and the burgeoning field of in vitro fertilization that ultimately influenced him to explore subspecialty training as a fertility specialist.
Dr. Chantilis returned to Dallas, TX to complete his Fellowship training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at UT Southwestern Medical School. After subspecialty training in infertility, Dr. Chantilis joined the faculty at UT Southwestern Medical School where he had teaching and research responsibilities as well as practicing as a fertility specialist in Texas. During his tenure as an Assistant Professor, he completed an informal surgical fellowship under the direction of D. Alan Johns, M.D. at Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft. Worth, TX and ultimately served at Medical Director of the IVF Program at the medical school.
While on the faculty, he also earned his Board Certification in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Board certification requires that a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine and Infertility be completed and that the candidate pass both written and oral examinations. Dr. Chantilis is one of only a few Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologists  (Fertility Specialists) actively practicing IVF in Dallas, TX. 
Over the years Dr. Chantilis has received numerous honors and awards including Best Doctor in Dallas listing in D Magazine (yearly since 2001), Texas Super Doctor in Texas Monthly magazine, Best Doctors in America, and a Healthcare Hero Award from the Fort Worth Business Press in 2005.
Dr. Chantilis is actively involved in fertility research and has authored several publications in many peer reviewed scientific journals. He gives presentations on fertility related topics to his peers, obstetrician/gynecologists, and patients on a regular basis. He is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Society of Reproductive Endocrinologists, Society of Reproductive Surgeons, Texas IVF Society, and American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists. 
When choosing a fertility specialist it is important to review his/her qualifications. Studies demonstrate that patients who are treated by a fertility specialist have significantly better outcomes with overall lower infertility treatment costs. Not all physicians who treat infertility have undergone fellowship training. Information on a physician's background can often be found on their Web sites or visit the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Web site. However, a physician can be a member of the ASRM and not be subspecialty trained in fertility.
