I highly recommend a practice out of Rush-Copley hospital off Ogden in Aurora. It is an EXCELLENT group. I started out with the midwives, Karen & Noreen. Then I ended up with the doctors, which are also EXCELLENT! I can especially refer Dr. Richard Tom (who delievered my c-sectioned baby - nurses after the delivery commented that he's such an excellent surgeon), Dr. Andrea Jones, and Dr. Bernardita Druhan. You mentioned wanting ones who specialize in working with women of color. Dr. Tom is Asian, Dr. Jones is African American and Dr. Druhan is Philipino. I had my 2 year old son with this practice. I used a practice closer to home for my second son, but I like this Rush-Copley practice so much better that I'm returning there despite the distance. Let me know if you want to know any more on it. Hope this helps. :)
