Hi Everyone,

Could someone recommend an OBGYN practice that is all female? Preferably one affiliated with Northwestern and/or within a mile or two of downtown?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I go to a group of doctors at Northwestern. Some of the female doctors broke off from the group and started their own practice last year. Dr. Mazzulo and Dr. Norlin (I think) are the only names I can remember. Although they were not my primary OB, they did do my C-section in 2006 when I was not progressing with my induction. I was very happy with them and thought they did a good job. They are still affiliated with Northwestern and their office is close to the hospital from what I was told. You can probably find them by calling information or the physician finder number for Northwestern.

I go to Lakeshore Women's Center with Dr. Rose Diakos, Dr. Barbara Diakos and Dr. Maria Tam. They are all wonderful and they are affiliated with Northwestern. What was even better for me is that they are located at Sheridan and Diversey, so I didn't have to trek down to Northwestern every month for my appt. Due to an insurance change, I ended up delivering at St. Joseph's (a block away from their office), where I had EXCELLENT care and lots of attention. These wonderful doctors are affiliated with both Northwestern and St. Joseph.

Hi,

I work at Chicago Women's Health Center (3435 N. Sheffield). Its a feminist women's collective that specializes in reproductive health. We've been around for over 30 years and we've got the best paps in town. A sensitive environment with 30-45 minute visits instead of your 15 minute quickie. I was a client for years and decided to get on board because I loved the place so much. We also have a lot of holistic/organic options for treatment and/or menstrual products. Try us! ###-###-####

I like the doctors there and I have been seen by Dr Mia Norlin and Dr Lisa Mazzullo. However, there are other doctors on staff. Visit their website for more info, but the doctors have great bedside manner and personable and knowledgeable. My son would not be here without them.

Another one for The Women's Practice (737 N. Michigan, Suite 950). My primary doctor is Mia Norlin, but Lisa Mazzullo delivered my son (when both were members of their prior practice). They are wonderful people as well as doctors. I work in the loop and it has been so convenient to have a dr. that I can easily get back and forth to. Especially with all of the appts. while pregnant. Good luck in your search.

Another vote for the women's group. Dr. Ericson (who wasn't my main doc, but delivered my son) saved my son's life --- he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck 3 times! I saw almost all of the doctors there during my pregnancy and really liked Katz and Levin. The only dr there that I wouldn't recommend is Dr. Lui. I'm sure she is a fine doctor, but she communicated some very critical information regarding my pregnancy VERY poorly - causing both my husband and I much distress.

The only other thing I would mention is that they are no longer in the 680 building but are now on Michigan.

My practice has 4 docs, 3 of them women, so that is pretty close! It is Progressive Care for Women, they are located downtown on St. Claire and are affiliated with Northwestern. Ironically, the doc I see there is Dr. Chen, the only male at the practice, and he is great. He delivered my daughter 2 years ago and it was a terrific experience. As a part of my prenatal care, I also saw the other docs (the women) for check-ups, and they are all wonderful. They have been recognized as among the top OB/GYNs in the country. Check out their website at www.pc4w.com. Hope this helps!

I also go to PC4W as Laura D mentioned. Only 1 male (Dr. Chen)in the bunch. I was adamant about having a female doctor. However, I did see Dr. Chen as part of my normal check ups. They have you see all the docs during preganancy in case your doc is unavailable for some reason. As a rule I HATE male doctors. All my docs are female including my dentist. BUT I highly recommend Dr. Chen and would have no hesitation about him delivering my baby. He has a GREAT bedside manner which is unusual in male docs. So even though this group is not ALL female. I would recommend them. They are associated with Northwestern and use Prentice hospital for their deliveries.
