  I used to go to the womens group at Chicago and michigan. Awful! You are in and out in 5 minutes and you better not have questions. I could go on about bad experiences with them but I would just avoid them. I'm with an MFM now but my OB is now Stanley Friedel and I really like him.

  I heard Dr. Moses can be a little rough around the edges but the group he's in has a good rep. Patients either love him or hate him but he made one of my friends cry during her labor & delivery because she was asking too many questions about why she needed pitocin, & another friend switched practices after she got him for her delivery & didn't like his bedside manner(she loved her OB though but didn't want to chance having to deal with him again...& she's had 2 more kids since that exp. so she probably would have had to see him).

  He's probably a good doc & everyone has bad days, but I know 2 people with neg experiences with him. Depends on what you want from your doc.

  Me: 42, DH: 43. We are so grateful to have a 2yr old daughter, conceived naturally after 3 miscarriages & no treatments (our Dr. gave us 1 more month to try on our own before advacing to IVF, & we conceived her naturally in January 2010)! Trying since April 2011 without sucess....MD said we were both "fine" & that if it wasn't happening, it was a chromosomal issue. Finally started Follistim 225mcg injections with an Ovidrel trigger November 2012. Bleeding 11 days post Ovidrel on November 25th. Starting the whole lab/Ultrasound/Follistim cycle again on November 27th...

  I used to see Dr. Chen at Progressive Care for Women at Northwestern a few years ago and did not care for him or their practice. He gave me a wrong diagnosis (told me I was prego and wasn't trying so I was freaking out!). Plus they didn't explain their billing on a procedure and I had to pay a few hundred out of pocket in the end.

  I delivered with them. My OB was Dr. Star & I really liked her. Her bedside manner was a little weird, but we got along great & she was totally cool with me wanting a natural delivery. Dr. McNair was the one who did the actual delivery and I love love loved her!! She was awesome & even made me laugh once during pushing! haha! She was fully supportive of me going natural as well.

  Out of the other Drs I saw there I really liked Dr. Moses (he was sweet & the only one that didn't hurt during the internal!), and the female Dr with the first name Melissa (can't remember the last name!). I didn't really care for the other male OBs (they always seemed much more rushed to me).

  The only OB I had issues with was one of the female OBs (Asian last name...maybe Chen?!). She was the first OB on call when I went into labor and we got into it a bit about pitocin. She wanted to start it right away (even though I was contracting) and without checking to see how dilated I was. She also was rude when I said I planned on no drugs. Luckily I fought back & got the delivery I wanted, but I could have done without her drama!
