Ive been a patient of Dr. Friedell for 17 years now. Ive always appreciated his bedside manner. He is very thorough, patient, and listens to all of my questions or concerns. He delivered both of my children (16 & 12) and I would highly recommend him. Additionally, I appreciate the staff at Northwestern Womens Health Associates. They are all nice and helpful as well.

Dr. Wise was my OB throughout my pregnancy and was fantastic. However, Dr. Dunn was the on call OB when I delivered my daughter a few days ago and I can’t thank her enough. I had an absolutely perfect labor and delivery experience and there’s not a thing I would have changed. She guided me perfectly through the whole thing and it all went so smoothly. I was also pleased with the care I received throughout my pregnancy. The nurses always responded promptly to any questions I sent in the portal. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr. Friedell delivered all 3 of my kids and has been my primary doctor for the past 20 years. His office and nursing staff are excellent and the office is well managed. He’s accessible and responsive to emails when I’ve needed guidance or a referral. He’s also really professional and respectful. I always feel comfortable asking questions and trust him to provide the highest level of care and provide the information I need to make informed health decisions.

As a foreigner the US healthcare system can be confusing and finding the right care overwhelming. Ive been seeing Dr. Whitney Dunn for over 3 years now, and for 2 pregnancies. She is a wonderful doctor who genuinely cares, takes her time to answer any and all questions, is compassionate and experienced. We could not be luckier to have found her! Highly recommend her and the NW Womens Health practice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stanley Friedell, for the past 30 years. For many years he has monitored me for ovarian cysts. Due to his careful monitoring, most recently he was able to see there was a change, at which point he was recommending surgery to remove my ovaries.Dr. Friedell is compassionate, warm, and caring, and even though a specialist, hes just so down to earth and openly communicates with me to put me at ease. He takes time to answer all of my questions and never neglected to call in the evenings with test results.Due to his wonderful surgical skills, I was able to avoid a full incision and instead benefited from a laparoscopic same day surgery. In addition, he made sure I was listened to by the anesthesiologist who addressed all of my concerns with the general anesthesia after the surgery. The care at Prentice was outstanding.I would highly recommend Dr. Friedell and his practice; he takes the time to get to know every one of his patients and establish a wonderful relationship with them.Thank you Dr. Friedell and your team for bringing me through my surgery with a most positive experience.Maria

I am 39 WEEKS pregnant and received a call today at 2pm about rescheduling my appointment which is in two days from today. I was told my primary doctor has to go on emergency leave and they need to reschedule me with another doctor. Next, I was told there are no doctors available for me to reschedule my appointment with. I am surprised that the office called me in the first place only to end up having to tell me that there are no doctors available. The practice is open until 7pm today but they will not be able to get back to me about my appointment until sometime tomorrow. Am I expected to find a new OBGYN at 39 weeks pregnant?!? Extremely disappointed with this practice.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Friedell. He is professional, personable, and you can tell he really cares about his patients. When I first saw him (a year and a half ago now) I was absolutely terrified as I had had some unpleasant experiences at other doctors, but he was so pleasant and really made me feel comfortable. He really listens to every concern and does his best to find out whats wrong. After my first visit I ended up having to have surgery, and he made sure I knew exactly what the risks were, and made sure to inform me of the exact procedures he would take, all while still keeping me calm and comfortable. After the surgery, he called me personally to make sure I was recovering alright. He continues to be one of my favorite doctors that I see, and I very highly recommend him if youre looking for someone.

I have been seeing Dr. Friedell for years and even though Ive moved out of the city, I cant imagine switching providers. He is extremely competent, thorough and takes time to answer all your questions and concerns. I recently had a surgical procedure with him and am very happy with the level of care before, during and after. Its so nice to have a doctor I can trust to make decisions and recommendations that are in my best interest - whether its childbirth, routine care or surgery.

Dr. Friedell is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and super attentive doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and provides straightforward and honest course of treatment. I ended up needing a surgery which went well and I was well taken care of by Dr. Friedell and the rest of his staff. His office is also very friendly, responsive and always helpful. Thank you!

Review №13

I’m very surprised by all of the good reviews of this office. Patient service representatives and medical assistants absolutely rude and NOT helpful. Speaking over you on the phone and cutting you off when you speak; CONTINUALLY! I had to laugh in disbelief. They tell you that someone will call you back same day and when you call to follow up they state “someone will contact you in 24-48 hours”.. hmm. They NEVER answer their portal messages. Absolutely not a way to make people feel comfortable reaching out to their doctor. It’s a shame because Dr. Dunn is so great — but the rest of the people in the office are terrible to deal with.

Dr. Friedell is a fantastic Doctor! Not only has he taken great care of my health, but also he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. I appreciate Dr. Friedell taking his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. Dr. Friedell is knowledgeable, caring, sincere, and friendly. Dr. Friedell is an excellent surgeon and he ensured that I had a smooth prep, surgery and follow up. Dr. Friedell was referred over by my primary doctor and I can see why. Dr. Friedells staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. I am so glad I chose Northwestern Womens Health Associates S.C. and would highly recommend to anyone.

The vest experience I’ve ever had at a women’s health center. I saw Dr. Friedel and he was great. He took the time to do a consultation before the exam, something that’s never happened to me . The staff is nice and accommodating. If you are on the fence about going here, please consider this group.

Dr Friedell is phonominal. I was experiencing issues with non stop mensus due to fibroids. His bedside manner and expertise help me resolve this issue. My surgery experience was flawless.. the team was ready to go and very knowledgeable. Overall, I have minimum scarring and have healed pretty well. Def recommend Dr Friedell !!!!!

This is my second review of this practice, I should have taken my own advice years ago. I was a patient of Dr. Brunengraber for maybe 4-5 years. Always made me feel like I was wasting her time, I hated going in for checkups and god forbid anything else that seemed unusual. I actually worked at Feinberg, Northwestern’s medical school, for several years and know how patients should be treated. I ignored this bad behavior largely for convenience, as their office was across the street from mine.Last month I went in for abdominal pain, I made the appointment stressing this and was told I would have an ultrasound (my family has a history of endometriosis and PCOS) to rule out of this was a gyno issue or if I needed to see another specialist.LITERALLY AT THE FRONT DESK, THEY WERE GUESSING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME, OUT LOUD AND IN FRONT OF OTHERS IN THE WAITING ROOM. I was appalled. They asked why I was there, which I was kind of taken aback knowing this is not OK, but answered “abdominal pain” anyway. Then they started loudly suggesting “I bet you have a UTI, I bet you have a UTI! You should eat lots of yogurt to fix that.” Wildly unprofessional at best, possible HIPPA compliance issue at worst. Patient health is not a game of Jeopardy! Anyway, by the time I saw Dr. Brunengraber, she did a physical exam, saying if the pain still bothered me in 4-6 weeks, to come back in for an ultrasound…which is why I was there in the first place. Why is my pain 4-6 weeks from now more important than my pain in that moment? So I’m supposed to manage the pain until you feel it’s worth your time? No thank you. Finally leaving this place and found a new physician that is not dismissive of my concerns, will take me and my pain seriously, with a professional admin staff.

If you are looking for a kind and friendly OB, I strongly recommend Dr. Aleena Lakhanpal. I was fortunate to have Dr. Lakhanpal as my provider throughout my pregnancy and during the delivery of my first child. She took the time to answer all my questions and gave me autonomy throughout my entire pregnancy. I had a positive experience with the other providers as well.

I went here for my first child. Now my kid is 3 months old. The doctors and nurses are great, but the office staffs are so mean, irresponsible, and not helpful. Since all the communication with the office has to go through the front desk, I experienced so many frustration moments. Just give two examples:The first time when I visit the office, the front desk lady didnt checked me in and asked me to wait in the waiting room for 2 hours! during that two hours, I checked with her for several times why it takes for so long. She just said wait there rudely without checking if she did her job correctly.The second case happened today. My STD form was pending in the office for 1 months. I called the office for many many times and the front desk just said we will leave a note to your doctor but I never heard back. Today is the deadline. I tried to call the office to follow up at 4:45 pm and the front desk kept hang off my call for 5 times. at the 6 time, she picked up and lied to me!! She said all the doctors and nurses are gone please call back tomorrow. In fact, my doctor and nurse were still in the office. (So irresponsible!!)The terrible experience with the office staffs (probably just one or two bad one) made it so hard to have a good experience with this institute. I hope my voice can be heard and hope that irresponsible office staff can show some respect to the patient.

Dr. Brunengraber is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and honest. Her prenatal and postpartum care were exceptional. I experienced low blood platelets towards the end of my pregnancy and she ensured my levels were closely monitored. I felt confident and safe under her care and guidance. In my second trimester I met with the other OBGYNs and Nurses at the practice and felt an equal level of care and support. Ultimately Dr. Brunengraber delivered our son and it went perfectly. I can’t recommend Dr. Brunengraber and her colleagues at Northwestern Womens Health Associates enough!

I came to this clinic because I was dx with fibroids. I searched online and ran across Dr Stanley Friedell. After researching and reading all of the awesome reviews, I felt he would be the right Dr to help me make the rght decision regarding my health. This Dr was extremely nice and caring. He explained all of my options thoroughly. He listened to me and showed compassion. The entire staff from the clinic to the hospital were so kind. My hospital stay was like being in a hotel with caring nurses and staff. Thank you all so much for taking good care of me!

I flew all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia just to see Dr Stanley Friedell and that was the best decision I made. Hes the best OB-GYN in Chicago. Before I flew to Chicago, he was willing to do video call and answered my questions to make sure I was ready for the surgery. Thats when I knew that Im in good hands.

BE AWARE: This office will charge double co pay (specialist fees) without telling you. I was looking for somewhere to get routine STI testing during the pandemic due to normal facilities being closed or appointments hard to find. This office is very unorganized and the doctor encouraged me to keep coming in for routine testing even though he knew I wasn’t there for specialist purposes, which resulted in a large bill that I was hit with months later.

Dr. Feldstein is THE BEST by far!!!!!!Im a new patient and cannot even express how beyond grateful I am to have found Dr. Marc Feldstein!! He has been extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and thorough from day one. After 15+ years I was misdiagnosed/mistreated/dismissed by more Dr.s than I can count, Dr. Feldstein recommended a biopsy and I was FINALLY properly diagnosed with lichen sclerosus and am receiving proper treatments! He has changed my life, I cannot thank him enough!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience at Northwestern Women’s Health Associates. My experience with prenatal care and delivery of my second child was an amazing experience, even in the middle of a pandemic. The entire team is top notch. The receptionists, the medical assistants, the lab technicians, the NP’s and doctors are ALL experienced, professional, and caring. I would have been comfortable with any of the doctors in this practice delivering our baby but we REALLY wanted my doctor, Dr. Friedell, to deliver our daughter. He wasn’t on call the day that she came but he went above and beyond to be there to deliver her! He is our angel! I cannot thank Dr. Friedell enough for all that he has done for me. From spending two hours reviewing my medical records from a previous delivery (there were some issues during that delivery), to always making me feel calm, listened to, and cared for. I would never go to anyone else to have a baby. Thank you!!!

Dr. Dunn and Dr. Friedell are incredible!Dr. Dunn has been my primary OB and I’ve seen her for the past year throughout my first pregnancy. She has been extremely professional, kind, facilitative and honest. She provides the pros and cons to everything and makes sure you’re fully educated before making any decision which I appreciate. I will go to her for many years to come.Dr. Friedell ended up delivering our baby as he was on-call at the time of delivery. His tenure and experience shows when he’s engaging with you and guiding you through the process. He made the delivery of our baby girl engaging and enjoyable which I didn’t think was possible.I highly recommend this practice.

Review №37

Not sure where to even start. 😕 I wish everyone at this location the best experience and I would like to tell the others who are about to become patients to beware.When you schedule your appointments, do not assume the staff will do it correctly. Not only from own experience, but also from observing multiple angry pregnant mothers in the waiting room, be sure your ultrasound is not a telemedicine visit, triple check whether you may bring your significant other. They will tell you you cant and when you show up by yourself, they will tell you that you forfeited the right of your husband at your first ultrasound.Be careful to have your blood tests at the correct pregancy week (past 24). Be sure to ask how long each visit is, because some are 20mins long, some take 1 hr. If you plan your day, you may end up in the 1st waiting room for 1.15mins when they celebrate someones birthday (these tend to be lunch hours), but most times the appointments are actually only 25 mins late😟.The street parking is only 2hrs at the time, so you may risk a ticket for the longer appointments.It is a bit tricky to plan your day for the ultrasound checks. Bring water with you though they have a water fountain.Beware the ultrasound may not be pleasant. They do provide warm gel for your belly, but the technician was rough with me. Im not sure if you can tell them to ease up, but the belly taps,jabs and other necessary moves they need to make for the baby to move around were actually pretty painful. It did not help for the baby to move to her liking, even when I run, jumped and hung head down. Mine just sleeps during the day and nothing disturbed it.Bleeding after a visit when I was fine coming in is not ok with me, no matter the bs you are told about being hypersensitive👎.When and if you receive medication of any kind, do not trust they talked to pharmacist about cheaper alternatives. Do not even trust you will receive correct dosage or medicine. Just take your prescription and go to an off-site pharmacy to triple check with someone who is not interested in your $$$$.Their phlebotomists are very bad with blood drawing. If you get bad brusing that spreads all over your arm or they jab you 4 times without being able to hit the spot, it is not you not drinking enough water. Pain in the arm that lasts days to weeks is almost worth a phlebotomy malpractice lawsuit.Lastly, I want to star the nurses. No issues there.Good luck to you all, consider your options carefully.

My experience with Northwestern Women Health & Associations and Dr. Stanley Friedell has been outright fantastic. Im always really impressed with Dr. Stanley Friedell attentiveness, as if you were his only patient. Ive never felt rushed or forgotten. He take time with me and addresses all my questions and concern. His prompt decision making and plan of care, literally saved my daughters life. A few years later when I decided to have a partial hysterectomy, Dr. Stanley Friedell guided me through with compassion. The front desk staff is super friendly and very helpful. The lab and ultrasound technician are precise and gentle. I can honestly say, any woman, at any stage of her life, would be in good hands at Northwestern Women Health & Associations.

I have been going to Dr. Friedell for over ten years. Other than being a great gyno, He has gone above and beyond with all three of my Pregnancy experiences and deliveries. With my first labor he was not the doctor on call but still came to the hospital, slept there, and delivered her early in the AM. With baby two he was again not on call, but despite that came to the hospital to deliver yet again. With my third pregnancy he was luckily on call and delivered our son in one push. Friedell is the best, and has made me feel supported, confident, and at ease with any and all challenges that can come with pregnancy and delivery.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice. I have been with Dr Friedell and this doctor group through 3 babies and one terrible case of mastitis that turned out to be a MRSA staph infection. The level of care that I have received is phenomenal. These doctors REALLY care about their patients. They never take their eye off of your well being. They also have a tremendous relationship/reputation with Prentice and the Labor and Delivery staff, which puts you in great hands for delivery. This is the practice that you want to trust with such an important aspect of your life, and your baby’s life!

As a mature woman of a certain age it has been my experience that gynecological care is difficult to find. Our complaints can be over looked or under valued and at worst result in not seeking help because we may feel embarrassed. At my age, sitting in a waiting room full of young women in various stages of pregnancy, you could say to yourself....Is this the practice for me? YES...this was the practice for me. Pregnancy is not the only reason all women need competent, compassionate, and professional care.The Northwestern Womens Health Associates S.C. and my physician, Dr. Whitney Dunn, as well as the entire staff of this the office was wonderful. Dr. Dunn, was kind, sensitive to my needs, thorough with her exam and diagnostic test and sound in her judgement on treatment. During this Covid-19 situation she diagnosed my problem and was able to perform two surgeries both of which I have recovered 100% . I am very fortunate and grateful for the care and treatment I received from Dr. Whitney Dunn.

Having your first child is both exciting and scary. My husband and I had so many concerns, questions, and completely oblivious to the whole process of pregnancy and childbirth. Dr. Julianne Morton was absolutely incredible and is what made this entire experience from first meeting through delivery something so special. Every appointment during the pregnancy she and her team were thorough and genuinely cared about our family and newborn. She was always available with every little question or concern no matter how minor. The experience of labor and delivery could not have gone better and exceeded my expectations. The nurses and entire team at Prentice was so accommodating and professional I had complete trust in everyone. Dr. Morton was there from when I got admitted and came when I was ready to delivery my baby. She was so calm and guided me through everything that it made the process almost easy. She truly knew what she was doing the entire time and my delivery went so smooth. I really believe this is one of the main reasons why my postpartum recovery was so fast! Thank you Dr. Morton for making this entire experience so memorable and smooth!!

0/10 would not recommend this practice or Doctor Regina Belmonte to anyone. I had a terrible experience from start to finish. Not only did I have to wait in the waiting room (pre-covid) for an hour and 20 minutes, Dr. Belmonte did not address specific concerns I had or offer any patient education regarding birth control options. I discovered I had been prescribed a generic version of Yaz which has thousands of lawsuits for DVT, stroke, and sudden death. Not once during my visit did Dr. Belmonte educate me on these side effects. When I called back to discuss these concerns and to change my birth control, my calls had still not been returned after 5 days. I even offered to make an appt and the receptionist told me that would not be necessary and someone would call me back. Well I’m still waiting. I’ve made an appt with a completely new practice who I will probably see before I ever get a call back. As a fellow healthcare professional I can confidently say this was the worst patient care I have ever received.

I love everything about Northwestern Womens Health associates but I love my doctor, Dr. Morton the most. She is EXTREMELY patient, a GREAT listener, very attentive and has a calming presence that is definitely appreciated. During my time with her (8 months), I jokingly said that I was her most annoying patient. I worried about every single thing and asked her 1 million questions. She answered all of my questions and constantly reassured me that everything would be okay.No exaggeration, she was the best doctor I have had...ever!Dr. Dunn was also cool.

Dr. Regina Belmonte has been providing all the services I have needed for over 12 years. She saw me through both of my pregnancies and her expertise is vast. Even after I moved far away from the city, I still embrace and look forward to her care and services, and I refuse to switch doctors. She is worth the trip! Going through both pregnancies I had to meet with all of the Drs. and all were wonderful. The nurses are fantastic. I have gotten 98% of what I have ever needed just talking to a nurse. So grateful for this practice and so confident with the care I receive..

This practice is amazing! I have been a patient there for 13 years and trust my life and health with Dr. Friedell. He delivered both of my children and performed a recent surgery. He is very thorough and is great with follow up and next steps. He is the only provider I still see after moving to the suburbs and commute to see him! Will continue to do so! Highly recommend!

My wife and I did had multiple (3) bad appointments with this group. Their are long waiting times, confusion in the office, and poor customer service. The communication between the doctors, staff, and front desk is not clear. You have to constantly remind them who you are and why you are there. One of our visits to the office they turned us away by mistake. When they realized the error, they called us to come back office. No one apologized for mistake and wasting our time. Our last visit was for ultrasound and exam was not good experience either. We waited over 30 minutes in waiting room and had to remind the front desk several times that we were still there. When ultrasound technician finally came for us, we brought long wait (over 30 min)to her attention. The technician totally dismissed it, didnt apologize, and gave us attitude. We stated that we expected better patient care from Northwestern and ultrasound tech replied to us, Well, we arent even Northwestern and you have to get use to this treatment. After 5min ultrasound we were put back in waiting room. After 15 minutes in waiting room we decided we were cancelling the rest or our appointment. We had been there for over 1 hour for 5 min ultrasound. When we told front desk we were cancelling and thinking about changing doctors. Front desk receptionist stated, Ok, thats fine, well cancel the rest of your appointment. Very dismissive, rude, and non apologetic. We are getting a new doctor and office. I hope this is just my experience with this group and not the norm. I would cation anyone going to this office to make sure your are treated with dignity and respect.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Roth for many years. She is an excellent physician, has a terrific bedside manor, and I have the utmost confidence in the care I receive from her.I recently had a medical issue that required outpatient surgery at Prentice Womens Hospital. I was under the care of Dr. Friedell and I cant say enough about the professional, empathetic way he and his staff, including the surgery staff at Prentice, took care of me. I had NO PAIN at all after the surgery, none. I didnt have to take so much as one ibuprofen. The medical team at NWHA are wonderful, caring professionals and everything you hope your physician(s) should be.

I cant recommend this practice and especially Dr. Friedell more. Before having my babies, I was a patient for yearly check ups. Everyone is always so thorough and approachable. I got to know the practice well through three pregnancies one of which ended in a miscarriage. The level of compassion and understanding as well as expert care cant be matched. I have never had a doctor personally call me late at night with test results to make sure I could rest easy. Dr. Friedell truly cares about his patients and as a physician he is confident and knowledgeable. There may be times your appointment runs late but keep in mind that its for good reason... whether that is with a patient for an unexpected reason or delivering a baby! I recommend this practice to all my friends and family without any doubt!

I have been seeing Dr. Morton for about two years now and she and the entire staff at Northwestern Womens Health has been fantastic! She is always open to my questions and makes me feel super comfortable. When I found out I was pregnant the staff was super helpful and got me in to see her even before the appointment time which is great because I am a bit anxious so that helped me out a lot. I cannot recommend them enough (especially Dr.Morton!)!

Dr. Friedell is hands down the best doctor I have ever had. He delivered our first child, and we had a great experience. From prenatal care through delivery, he answered all of our questions patiently, made us feel safe and taken care of and made the whole process seamless. He is also an easy person to talk to and really takes the time to get to know you and understand what is important to you during the process. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for an OB!

This was our first child, so every little thing was new to us, with a lot happening. Questions flooded in and I called the practice on many of them - is this normal?! I feel funny. I think hes stopped kicking? What does this mean? They were ALWAYS there for me and I couldnt have felt more at ease and comfortable with the doctors and nurses. It was such a sigh of relief to be in such incredible hands. I had some health issues to go along with my pregnancy and those were handled with the utmost care. Honestly, I couldnt recommend this practice enough! Even during the delivery...Dr. Friedell helped us feel laid back and actually made the process easier/enjoyable! He took such great caution with the delivery and we ended up with such a healthy baby! The humor from him made everything that much better, on top of the care!! 5+ stars for the Northwestern Womens Health Associates! Thank You!!!

I recently returned to this practice, and Dr. Friedell, after deciding to go to the Northwestern Midwives Group when I found out I was pregnant in the summer. I saw Dr. Friedell when I was pregnant with my now 3 year old son, and while my pregnancy was mostly uneventful the delivery was tough. Dr. Friedell wasn’t on duty that day and it ended in a c-section. The whole experience left me somewhat traumatized, and I thought I needed to try a different, more holistic approach. Unfortunately, this summer at 11 weeks pregnant I started to bleed. The Midwives did an ultrasound and told me all was fine. I resumed my normal activities — work, working out, etc. A few days later I started bleeding heavily…and it ultimately ended in a heartbreaking miscarriage. Throughout the process of losing the baby, I saw a different midwife every single appointment…and had to go back to get a D&C after I was originally told I didn’t need one. I received contradicting information. And, ultimately, they missed catching a sub-chorionic hemorrhage (not normal but very common and rarely fatal) in my first ultrasound. I highly regret the decision to leave Dr. Friedell. I recently returned to him, with my tail between my legs, and he couldn’t have been more kind or understanding. He reviewed through every single detail of my pregnancy and miscarriage, and quickly identified a plan to help my husband and I conceive again. While the midwives were sweet and rubbed my back, I believe they truly lack the experience needed to serve as a primary care physician. Dr. Friedell is very committed to his patients — he will call you after hours, rearrange his schedule so he can squeeze you in, and always responds quickly to messages on the patient portal. Above all, he’s a good doctor with a lot of experience…I’ve learned the hard way that nothing is more important than that.

Dr. Belmonte is an excellent doctor! She makes a trip to the OBGYN a low stress and routine visit while providing a great bedside manner that is both informative and caring. Belmonte takes the necessary time with each patient asking the types of questions that help provide all the answers you need. I strongly recommend seeing her in this practice.

I am very pleased with my experience here. There was one time where we waited an exceptionally long time but for the most part, our wait time was reasonable. I absolutely recommend Dr. Friedell. He is very professional and helpful. He performed my surgery and I am very happy with my experience.

Dr. Friedell has taken the best care of me for nearly 10 years. No matter the health problem, the changes in insurance, he patiently and quickly finds a solution. I even moved out of state for a couple of years and came back with another baby! I tell you, I have seen the rest and came home to the best. He was my doctor before I became a mother, delivered my baby, and has taken the best care of through it all afterward. His coworkers and staff and warm and kind, and everyone has a terrific sense of humor. I couldnt go anywhere else.

Super nice receptionist, very competent nurses, and Dr.Belmonte was very kind and professional. They also gave me an appointment ASAP which was incredible given that other gynecologists I was calling weren’t available until mid July.

Review №87

Doctors are great! They are personable and thorough. The receptionists however need customer service improvements, too bad that they are the reason I will never be back after these last 2 months. With the insurance, cost of parking, inconvenient hours and location, you would think you should get better service. Its way too expensive to be treated with disrespect.

Update review : that day I did find another office to take me in, my ultrasound was abnormal and I’m now on restrictions... good thing I didn’t waitIf 0 stars could be possible. I made my apt. 5 weeks ahead of time to see the dr. for my 1st ob apt. 20 mins before my apt the day of they call me to cancel. I was already in the building so I decided to walk up there and see if anyone else can see me since I’ve waited 5 weeks I’m almost done with my 1st trimester and haven’t seen a dr! Upon coming in the receptionists were already like nope nothing open, no one can see you. You have to reschedule without an apology or sympathy. Turning us away like we are nobodies. Like how can you do this I’m pregnant I haven’t seen a dr. yet! It’s understandable people go into labor but don’t cancel your apts that your patients have been waiting over a month to see you. Have another dr/ nurse cover for you. That right there is not best patient care. As a worker in the NORTHWESTERN SYSTEM and how my dept works, we go ABOVE AND BEYOND for our patients to be seen the day of. But here, this is not it. I would send any of my patients, friends, family here.

Review №89

We have been seeing Dr Sharon Wise since the beginning and we have very much enjoyed having her as our Ob. We will soon start seeing the other doctors since Im now going on 24 weeks. The office staff could be better, theyre sometimes polite but I would never call them friendly. The same nurse has seen me several times and during the first few visits kept asking me if I was pregnant and when was my last cycle. I finally got upset and asked whether or not she bothered to look at my records. To which he did not respond and in all fairness I was certainly unpleasant when I made the comment. But Dr Wise has been very good. She is never rushed when she is with us which we greatly appreciate since we all know how doctors run behind. She even saw us as her last appointment one day but she took her time anyway. She explains things clearly and has always been helpfulIn answering questions. She recommended a great genetic doctor for Down syndrome testing and Dr Pergament was excellent as well. We have had a great experience thus far, and would recommend the doctors.

Dr. Friedell was very attentive towards my concerns and was very helpful and fantastic in attending to me. I cannot rave more about him and his services hes truly went above and beyond his call of duty. Even up until now, two months after my surgery, hes still checking up on me and my recovery! Nothing but good things about this establishment!

Dr. Stanley Friedell is one of the most professional and knowledgeable Doctors I have ever been to. He takes his time with his patients and listens to all of their concerns and answers all questions in a manner a patient can understand. If I was not moving out of state, I would definitely continue to be treated by him. I highly recommend this practice.

I am writing this review for Dr. Stanley Friedell. He has been my ob and helped me through a tough pregnancy. I drove 44 miles to my appointments to ensure that he would be my doctor and I could deliver at Northwestern. I’m glad I stuck with it because at the end it was a very difficult time and he got me through it and my baby through it when things were not looking good. His standard of care, kindness and calm demeanor helped me to pull through and I will never forget the amazing care I received..

I highly recommend Dr. Stanley Friedell at Northwestern Womens Health Associates. My sister and I have been his patients for many years. Hes smart, reliable and proactive. At a recent appointment with Dr. Friedell I casually mentioned some symptoms I was experiencing and instead of telling me its nothing, dont worry about it Dr. Friedell ordered some additional testing while still reassuring me it probably is nothing of concern but still wanted to follow up to be certain. He works very long hours and even called me once on a Sunday to give me my mammogram results. Its my pleasure to write a review of Dr. Friedell. Melinda O. Brennan

I can’t say enough great things about this office! Yes, sometimes you may have to wait if Dr Friedell is running behind but it’s worth the wait. He covers everything thoroughly and makes sure that you continue to stay healthy. I would never go anywhere else for my health and well-being because I know I’m getting top knotch care from one of the best in Chicago. He is very knowledgeable, straight to the point and very truthful with options. He is also very friendly and I’m never afraid to ask questions! I can’t thank him enough for being pain free and staying pain free!

I love my doctor, Regina Belmonte! She is honest and very reassuring. I had to have two c-sections with my girls and I would not trust any but her to perform the procedure. My only issue with the office is getting late notices when a doctor was delayed or had to leave. Other then that I am very happy with this office.
