Good Doctors - Schaumburg,IL
Hello everyone,
I just moved back to Illinois after being in Texas for 3 years. I LOVED my OB GYN and my daughters pediatrician there, but I know need to find someone here that I love just as much. If you have an suggestions for either an OB GYN or a Pediatrician please let me know. I am currently in the Schaumburg area. I also am curious about which hospitals are good for delivering. Thanks for any help you can give!

As other women on here, I like Alexian Brothers Hosp. in Elk Grove. I just delivered twin girls there last month. I see Dr. Pozzi ###-###-####. He did my c-section and I had no complications. He is in the Wimmer Building attached to Alexian Brothers Hosp. There are 3 male doctors there and a physician assistant and an ultrasound tech. Welcome back to IL and good luck!

Hi K. -
Welcome back to IL. I'm sure you didn't miss the Chicago Winters! I too live in Schaumburg & go to a pediatric group called Children's & Teens on Wise Rd, West of Roselle road about 2 miles. I see Dr Summerfeld - but love Dr Megahed & all the others actually! They have great hours & good at answering all your questions.
As for a OB/GYN - I went to Woman Care in Arlington Hts on Central Rd right next to Northwest Community Hospital. I love Dr Cooperman. I delivered my son at Northwest Community last September - and I have to say - I was not impressed. My labor/delivery experience was excellent. But the nursery/recovery area was less than stellar. I felt like they were holding my son prisoner there longer than they needed to for things that were not serious issues (jaundice levels & weight loss - which my pediatrician confirmed 2 days later were not alarming at all) which all resulted in me having insurance issues because they said my stay was too long! (50 hours vs 48 hours - seriously!). Since that is the only hospital my OB/GYN's deliver at - that is where I had to go. Growing up in this area though - I will say Alexian Brothers is an excellent hospital. I delivered my daughter there almost 15 yrs ago and my father received all his cancer care through them.
Side note - Central DuPage is NOT 15 mins away - its a good 30 minutes. My boyfriend lives less than a mile away from there.
Good luck!

Any of the Alexian Brothers Hospitals are excellent. My children see Dr. Rosewell in Hoffman Estates. My 15 month old was born with heart defects and this last year has been trying- She has been SO good to us. If you want their number let me know. They have excellent office hours, excellent call back and excellent sick visits! No waiting-
Hope this helps!

For the ped. Woodfield pediatrics---Awesome doctors I had to switch because i moved but
They were great. My sister still takes her son there. Dr. Robertson is so sweet--but they all are really good and I would reccommend them to anybody. Good luck on your search

My OB/GYN, Dr. Yockey, is fantastic. She's in Elk Grove Village (right next to Schaumburg). In fact her office is in one of the buildings attached to Alexian Brothers Hospital(which is where I delivered and had a great experience). She also has a nurse midwife, Nicole Quigley, that I just LOVE. In fact I've started seeing Nicole for my annuals and such instead of Dr. Yockey (although Dr. Yockey is absolutely wonderful as well). Here is her website: http://advancedwomenscarecenter.com/index.htm
As far as pediatricians go we see two brothers- Dr. Schwartz (Sam and Dave). We like Dr. Dave a little better. They are both good doctors (better then the ones we had before)but Dr. Sam's appearance takes some getting used to. The staff at their office is very, very nice. Their information is
455 S Roselle Rd
Schaumburg, IL 60193

Whatever you do- don't go to Dr. Poonawalla and Dr. Awtramani- they are terrible!

I love my OB. He's in Downers Grove at Advocate Good Samaritan. A bit of of a drive, but I don't mind(maybe 25 minutes from Schaumburg). Dr. Robert Lawler with Tre Medical. ###-###-####
I also hear that ENH, which is Evanston, Glenbrook, and Highland Park is very good with delivery.
I also love our ped. Dr. Andy(Bernstein) with North Suburban Pdiatrics in Buffalo Grove, also Evanston. ###-###-####
Good luck!

I can not say enough wonderful things about the group of doctors OB/GYN's from Female Healthcare Associates. They have an office in Elk Grove Village and Bloomingdale and 2 others I think but farther from you. They work out of Alexian Brothers Hospital and they are just wonderful. I delivered at Alexian Brothers and loved it. My nurses were wonderful and I think they have finished remodeling by now. I only have the number for the Bloomingdale office but I am sure they can give you the number for the Elk Grove office. It is ###-###-####. Hope this helps.
