I Need a Good OB/GYN That's Affiliated with Loyola Med. Ctr.

Congrats on #4!

I delivered my first daughter at Loyola and had a great experience and I am going to be delivering my second there in December. I go to the Oak Brook Terrace office on Butterfield, just next to the Home Depot. My favorite OB there is Dr. Reddy (F) but all of them are amazing - Dr. Graziano (M), Cheryl McLean, Dr. White (F). I have only had to wait past my scheduled appointment time once (more than a few minutes) but that was because one of the Dr.'s had to go to the hospital for an emergency and I couldn't be mad about that. I have heard great things about the Pediatricians there too, however, we go to the Darien office for our regular Doctors. We live closer to Darien, which I suppose is a tribute to how happy I am with Loyola. It is a 30 minute drive to the hospital for us - on a good day!

I think the reason people have to wait longer at the clinic at the hospital is because it is walk in. I know for sure that the lab is and I am pretty sure it is the same for seeing a Dr. there. Both of our offices take appointments and run pretty close to on time.

Good luck with your decision. The number for my OBs office is ###-###-####. As a new patient that is already preg. I would go through the menu and talk with a nurse. Don't hit the number for scheduling an appointment. The central scheduling usually can't get you in quick enough. I think you will hit option 2. If you get the answering machine on the nurse line, I think it gives you the option to speak to someone right away, I would suggest you do that. It will transfer you to the receptionist and they should be able to schedule an appointment within a reasonable time.

Congrats again, Jessica

Congratulations!
Dr. Deighan delivered my daughter via c-section & she did an excellent job. I will definately use her in the future. She is out of the North Riverside office & I do not remember wait times ever being very long. My sister had a baby 2 1/2 months before me & Dr. Stoeffler delivered my niece. Also an excellent job. I saw Stoefler & Summers as well for appts. & I would have been fine with any of them. They're a great team.

I am currently on bed rest in Loyola Hopsital, and have been seen by an amazing group of Dr's... I personally see Dr. Graziano, which you can also visit him at a few of their other locations (ex: Oakbrook Terrace)

Very honest, very smart and helpful! (and not bad to look at)

Let me know if you need more information, I would recommend this group to anyone!!!

Congrats on #4! I had my daughter at Loyola, and I use the North Riverside Family Health Center. My PCP was Karen Deighan, who was great, but all the OB's there rock. Amy Steoffler and Sondra Summers are the other 2 female OB's that I saw for checkups, and Deighan delivered my daughter (well, it was an emergency C-section-but she was very good). I would recommend them to anyone. Plus, that office has fast appointments, and it's pretty easy to get in and out quickly. I use that office for our pediatrician and my doctor is there as well.

I don't know if you are set on Loyola but I love my midwives at West Suburban midwives in Oak Park. I will deliver at West Suburban, also in Oak Park in their alternative birthing center. It's a great facility if you don't want a lot of interventions. Otherwise, I've heard that Loyola is great, especially if you are high risk.
