Need Dr. Affiliated with Northwestern Hopital

Hi - My doctor with my first pregnancy was Dr. Ann Star. I delivered at Northwestern Prentice downtown. She was great. And Dr. Jenny Friedman, another doctor in her practice, actually delivered my daughter since she was on call that day. She was super nice and great also. Hope this helps some. - L.

I am nine months pregnant and I am very happy with my doctor and the other doctors in the office.

Hi D. --

I've had 3 kids/2 pregnancies with my practice at Northwestern and I love everyone I've dealt with there. My first pregnancy, a singleton, was handled beautifully and lovingly by the midwives in the practice and they remain my "primary" caregivers. Carol Hirschfield is the main person we dealt with in the midwives' portion of the practice. My twin pregnancy had to be handled by a doctor in case of complications. Again, I saw all the doctors in the practice and liked all of them. My main doc was Scott Moses, who I adored. They deliver at Northwestern and their offices are at 680 N. Lake Shore Drive. They do ultrasounds in office in most cases, which is nice. Their number is ###-###-####.

I used Dr. Julie Barton she was great. On our first visit we went into her office to discuss all concerns and she is fabulous. I was able to call her with all concerns and she alway returned my calls asap.

The Prentice center is great too! I thought the nurses were not so nice, but after witnessing my newphews birth at another hospital (he was sick at birth) I knew that NW was the very best!! Good luck!

I was referred to Dr. Marc Feldstein by my MD who is also affiliated w/ Northwestern. His specialties include complex pregnancies. He is professional, courteous, thorough, friendly and always on time! There are 2 women in his practice if you prefer, both of whom I've seen once; Dr. Abbie Roth and Dr. Regina Belmonte. Phone number ###-###-####.

Hello D.,

Her name is Dr. Elizabeth Forbes, and her ph # is ###-###-####. She's with a practice that's right across from the hospital. I met other colleagues in her practice (men and women), and liked them a lot as well. Good luck!

Pls. let me know if you have any questions or need further info.

Dr. Elizabeth Walz-Buscher is a fantastic OB/Gyn! She delivered my six month old son. She is an outstanding physician and she really takes a lot of time with her patients. She is very nice. Her office number is ###-###-####. Her website is womenspractice.com. Address is 150 E. Huron.

I go to THe Association for Women's Health Care. They are on Michigan Avenue and they only deliver at Northwestern. I see Dr. Baum (he is a man) but I have a friend who sees Dr. Sue Hungerford and she LOVES her! The phone there is ###-###-####. I also had Dr. Sibul deliver my baby (my Dr was out of town) and he was excellent but he is also a man. Hope this helps.

The Women's Group is great - there are about 6 physicians and 3 nurse practitioners. All physicians are wonderful and have at least 15 years of experience - the one I saw most was Dr. Katz, but Dr. Levine delivered me. You are advised to meet all of them over your prenatal visits, because you never know who will be there to deliver you.

I just went to my doctor for the first time yesterday and she was fabulous! - this is also my first pregnancy. Her name is Robbye McNair and she is affiliated with Northwestern. Her office is located at 680 North Lake Shore Drive and the phone number is ###-###-####. There are 7 doctors in the practice and also several certified nurse midwives if you choose to go that route. The office was very clean and they were actually on schedule. Let me kow if you have any more questions.

Hi, I have used Dr. Mary Fausone at Univ. Gync. in the Galter Pavilion, since moving here 6 years ago. A friend from the area recommended her. We are about to move so I won't be there anymore but I really liked her and her office.

I used the Midwives at Northwestern Memorial physicians group. They are backed up by a great staff of ob/gyns. If midwives are not for you check out the ob practice in the same group. My girlfriend goes to Dr. Chen (female) and loves her. below is the link to her website. She is accepting new patients. If you are interested in the midwives and would like more info, there appointment number is the same as the doctors. Also I would be able to answer any questions. M.

I like Dr. Barton at Lakeshore OBGYN. They are located in the 680 N. LSD building. I found all the doctors there to be very nice and professional.

Hi -

I recently switched to Progressive Care for Women (pc4w.com) after my son was born. It was recommended to me by a woman who delivered at NW. All, but one, of the doctors are female.

Their office is a block from the hospital.

Good luck & congratulations (my son just turned 1 - best thing ever...)

:)

I just recently had a baby at Northwestern and my doctor was Dr. Marc Kleinberg. He is the best doctor ever. I really wanted a woman at first but he was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. He is very caring and by it being my first child that was very important!!!! Good Luck and Congrats

I would recommend contacting the midwife group at 680 N. Lakeshore, led by Carol Hirschfield. Particularly if your pregnancy is not high risk, I would very strongly recommend working with the midwives. I started with an OB, but when I had to transfer care during my first pregnancy, (my OB had her baby when I was 37 weeks along!), I transferred to the midwives and had my second child with them, too. Good luck!

Hi D.,

My doc is a male, but WONDERFUL. I've been going to him since I was 17 (now 37). He was in business with is dad, but his dad retired last year. He is in the Garland building on Wabash & Washington. His name is Dr Raymond McDermott (about 45-50?). I had my first baby in November (miscarried just before that). I've had fibroid tumors and surgeries. His bedside manor is awesome. He is sincere and will try everything to make you comfortable. I beleive he teaches some type of class at Northwestern as well. Not sure though.

His nnumber is ###-###-####.

P.S. I am a patient of his brother...a dentist if you need one. ###-###-####. His name is Thomas.

Good luck with your pregnancy and cherish every moment. They get sooo big sooo fast.
