Looking for a new general doctor, would prefer far NW suburbs, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, LITH, Algonquin, etc. I prefer a female doctor and a more natural minded one that doesn't just throw antibiotics at everything.

My sister is also looking for a doctor, she just moved to Schaumburg a year ago and is tired of going back and forth to home to see her doctors. So for her something near Schaumburg would be great.

Both of these would be just regular family practice or general practice doctors for ourselves. Female preferred, but male works too. Thanks for any recommendations you might have!

****I have gotten several requests thinking I am talking about pediatricians...I am looking for a general dr. for myself in the CL area and a general dr. for my sister who is 19 and lives in Schaumburg.

What can I do next?

Hi A.,

I just moved to Schaumburg also so this answer will apply to your sister. I found a great doctor through this site. I originally went for a female but long story short, ended up with a male. He is wonderful! He takes a lot of time to get to know his patients and he is a DO not an MD, so he definitely has an overall natural/holistic approach over prescribing meds right off the bat.

His name is Dr. Calvin Fischer and his # is ###-###-####. He is in Hoffman Estates next to the hospital. He has gotten several awards and he is a family practice doctor. If she really prefers a female, the woman recommended to me at the same facility is Dr. Jacqueline McKeigue at the same above #. She is also a DO.

Hope this helps!

Dr. Ranae Yockey in Elk Grove Village is fantastic. She is the most caring, sweetest person I have ever met. Her staff is wonderful too. She has been my doctor for ten years now and I would never go anywhere else. She and her nurse mid wife Nicole Quigley are both the BEST! She is affiliated with Alexian Brothers Medical Center and in fact her office is attached to the hospital. She also does homeopathic as well. My Mom's best friend recommended her to me after Dr. Yockey saved her life and the lives of her twins while she was carrying them. I think your sister would be very comfortable with Dr. Yockey's office. Her contact info is
800 West Biesterfield Road
Suite #4003
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007
