I am looking for a new female OB/GYN that is affiliated with Sherman Hospital in Elgin OR St. Alexius in Hoffman Estates. I LOVE my current CNM that I began seeing from referrals everyone gave me from mamapedia, but we are moving!! I want to try to find someone closer to home! I am hoping to find a practice of OB/GYN's that have a CNM on staff. I prefer a midwife for many reasons, but I find comfort in having an MD on staff in the event of a medical emergency, etc. I am also hoping to find someone who is less aggressive with interventions/c-sections and is open to a more natural approach to preganancy/delivery. I am interested in having a VBAC - so hopefully someone who is open to that as well.
Thank you in advance for your referrals!
I loved Women's Health First - they have 4 female doctors and 2 male doctors... they have offices in Hoffman Estates (next to the hospital), Schaumburg & Buffalo Grove!
Check out Ranae Yockey, DO at St. Alexius.
Dr Kathryn Ray, the whole practice is women. She is out if St Alexius.
go to www.midwife.org to find a CNM. Just put in your zipcode.
Novas, Dohr and associates in Barrington are excellent! The staff is all female and very good! I delivered at Advocate Good Shepherd in Barrington but they are also on staff at St. Alexius as I was able to choose which hospital I delivered at.
I like my OBGYN who is affiliated with Sherman, but he's a boy. Dr. Christopher Michael. If you want his info, you can send me a PM. :)
