New and needing a doctor in Lincoln Park area

jsparkle

Hi everyone. I am new here and new to Chicago. My husband and I want to start TTC, but I want to get into the doctor first. I tried to get an appointment with Dr. Chen at Northwestern, but she and all the doctors there are booked out until mid-October! I made an appointment with one of the nurse practitioners instead. I'm just wondering if any of you have any recommendations for a great obgyn. I live in Lincoln Park on the edge of Lincoln Park/Old Town/Gold Coast. 

Thanks for your help!

Hi -

I see Dr. Foley at Northwestern and have been incredibly pleased with him so far. He's just as hard to get an appointment with as Dr. Chen, but worth the wait.

Good luck!

Thanks! It's good to know another name in that office. I think I'll stay there and try to get in with one of them.

I spent a couple years trying to find an OBGYN office in Chicago I like. I had an appointment last month at Advocate Medical Group in Illinois Masonic Hospital. My appt was with one of the nurses, Linda Masini. She was great, very friendly and willing to take time to talk about my TTC questions. I've heard the same about the rest of the nurses, midwives and doctors there. Good luck!

I had her for my recent annual exam, and she was amazing.  I usually see Dr. Bicahlo, who is also great.  I think anyone at that office will be wonderful to have as an OB.
