We currently have a doctor that we absolutely love but her office is in Crest Hill, IL (near Joliet) and I really need to find a local area doctor that would practice out of Central Dupage Hospital. Must be able to see my entire family including my husband and myself. I want someone who has a great bedside manner and don't talk down to us. My current doctor is a mom of a large family (I have 5 kids) and is great with the kids as well as us. She is attentive to our needs as well as the kids. I would also be looking for a good OB/GYN to then start visiting since once I move my primary care doctor I must replace my current OB/GYN as well.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all. I have talked to a few friends and had someone suggest on OB that was also suggested on here. But for now I am going to stay with my current one just due to me now really wanting to change right now.

Hi P.,
I know you are looking for a doctor who will see your entire family...however, there are really hard to find. I can however recommend our practice for your children. The St. Charles Pediatric's (part of Dupage Medical Group) is out of CDH and they are amazing! ###-###-####. Dr. Jenny & Dr. Chris are also moms and they get it and are extremely attentive to our needs at any time of day. Last year, my then 2 1/2 year old daughter was very ill from 02/08 thru 05/08 with CMV. Our doctors were calling daily to check on her and were extremely aggressive in diagnosing her when initial treatment efforts were not working. I am so happy with them that I oversee the slight inconvenience of not having a "family" practice. With that, they have recommended us to several practices out of CDH as my husband and I are trying to see the same practice and have not made the switch yet.
I know you are also looking for an ob/gyn. Love mine!!!!!!!!!! She delivered my daughter and has been with me through a couple of scares as well. Dr. Lynn Fesenmyer (Dupage Medical Group), also out of CDH. ###-###-#### or ###-###-####. She is part of a large practice and they have offices in Wheaton, Bartlett & Carol Stream.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

G.

A wonderful OB/GYN Dr. out of Central Dupage is DR. Mark Gapinski. I have been going to him way before I was pregnant with my first son who is 6 years old. He is a great Doctor. I was actually referred to him by 5 other people that were seeing him long before me. Very nice doctor who has a great personality!!! He used to practice at Alexian Brothers Hospital for years and moved his practice to Cental Dupage about 2 years ago I think?? I'm sure his office could recommend a family doctor that is out of Central Dupage as well. That hospital is awesome!!! (Dr. Mark Gapinski's office phone is ###-###-####)I beleive there is a female dr there also. Hopefully this helps you. Any questions, you can call or email me. My phone is ###-###-#### and email is ____@____.com My name is A. Rogers.

Dr. Robert Kemp is my family doctor, and he is with Central DuPage Hospital. He works out of Wheaton on Main Street. He's awesome. He has been my doctor for the better part of 8 or 9 years now. When I moved to Oswego, he was still with MacNeal Hospital, and working out of Riverside (about an hours drive)...I drove it anyways. When he moved to Wheaton it was still a haul to Wheaton, though not as far, and I still drove it. I live much closer to the city now, and I stil drive to Wheaton. Any time I try a new doctor for me and my family I just do not like them as much as I like him. He is great with my kids, trusts a mother's intuition, has kids himself, and is overall just a really nice person. The partners in his practice are really nice as well. I highly reccomend him.
