Recommendation for a Great OBGYN That Is Affiliated with CDH?

Updated on June 22, 2008
M.C. asks from Glendale Heights, IL
20 answers

I loved my OBGYN practice in Willowbrook but need to find one closer to home now.

Can you recommend a good OBGYN that has a practice near Glendale Heights (could be Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Bloomingdale, etc). I'd prefer one with a helpful office staff and one that doesn't always keep you waiting a long time, too.

Thank you!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Just wanted to send an appreciative thank you to all that responded! There were a couple of practices recommended by multiple people so I'm going to do more research on those and make sure they're covered on my insurance. This site is so helpful because of people like you that respond.

Looks like a lot of responses for Female Healthcare Associates.

I would HIGHLY recommend them, I love
all the doctors there!

They go to CDH as well as 3 or 4 other hospitals.
I go to the Bloomingdale office ###-###-####
but they also have offices in Elk Grove and Naperville.
My favorite doctors are Lori Hardy (female) and Steven Binnett (male)
but they are all really good!

Good luck!

I go to Female Healthcare Associates in Naperville, but they also have an office in Bloomingdale. They are affiliated with CDH. I've seen nearly all of the doctors there since I've been a patient for about 10 years. I have my favorite docs, but they are all very good. The office staff is great - although I can't really speak of the Bloomingdale staff since I go to the Naperville office. I have been to Bloomingdale twice though since they have Saturday hours. As for waiting, usually I don't have to wait too long. Sometimes if I make an early morning appointment I'll have a bit of a wait since most of the docs do early morning rounds at the hospital before they see patients in the office & can get delayed. It's not the greatest web site, but you can find their contact info here:

Hope that helps - good luck!

I have to agree with D B

DuPage OB/GYN delivered both of my children (Dr. Martin with my first and Dr. Heimburger with my second). They have offices in Glendale Heights, Wheaton, and Naperville (maybe Romeoville too?). I hope this helps you out and good luck!

Hi M., i also see Dr. Peter Weeks of Dupage Med Group, and Dr. Bernadette Bernardo, of the same group. Both have offices at Stratford Square and Danada in Wheaton. The entire group (think there are maybe 8 or 9 OB/GYNs in the group now) are great, I'm on my 3rd pregnancy now and have seen them all and can say they are just great, warm, easy going, professional, make you feel comfortable, and best of all, they are usually ON TIME, if your appt is at 1, you usually get in by 1 or 1:15. There's a new doc, Dr. Cannon, who is so funny he has me rolling everytime i visit. The number is ###-###-#### to make an appointment, but am sure you can find them by googling any of the names I've mentioned and will give you ins. info too. Good luck!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. John Carroll in Carol Stream! Lots of experiences and has a sense of humor! He owns his own practice and he's the only doctor in his practice. He delivered my 2 kids in CDH. He has 3 offices and the main one is in Carol Stream which is very close to Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale area. ###-###-####.

I know many people (including myself) who go the Female Healthcare Associates. I too really like them. They delivered my daughter and I need to have surgery and Dr. Binnette is performing it for me. They are a great group.

Here is my only downside with them. If I had a 2nd child I was debating about not going through them. I choose to do a bradley birth (drug and intervention free if possible). I had some good luck and some bad luck with the Drs. They were not as supportive of the idea and I struggled with that. When I asked why they did certain procedures or choose to opt out of procedurs such as internals ... they finally relented but it wasn't super easy. I really like the doctors. I continue to go to them for my GYN needs. Depending what you want out of an OB would depend if you like them. In the end I got the type of birth I wanted but that was because the whole thing lasted 2 1/2 hours and the doctor was only in the hospital to catch the baby.

Good luck.

I go to DuPage Obstetrics and Gynecology. They have a variety of office locations (Carol Stream, Winfield, Bartlett and Batavia). The doctor's have privileges at both CDH and Delnor. Dr. Michael Larry has been my doctor for the last 13 years and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor. He always takes time and doesn't make you feel rushed. The ofgice staff has always been helpful and there aren't any long waits like a lot of the offices I have heard about. I am not sure if he's accepting new patients, but you may have luck with some of the other doctors.

I too go to Female Health Care Associates. I go to them in Bloomingdale. I see Dr. Hardy. She delivered my son. I have seen all the Drs in the practice, but in my opinion Dr. Hardy and Dr. Wickman were my favorites. I don't like male obgyns but Dr. Rosenberg who started the practice is nice.

I went to there 2 times a week for the last 3 months of my pregnancy and I can say that late morning until about 3 is a pretty good time to go.

Good Luck to you!

Hi M.,

I would also recommend Femal Healthcare Associates in Bloomingdale. They also have offices in Naperville and Elk Grove.

I saw Dr. Binette primarily, but through the course of my pregnancy I was treated Dr. Swedo, Dr. Hardy.
Dr. Cullen and Dr. Morrison delivered the twins. I got excellent care from every doctor I saw. I was extremely impressed with them.

I am bummed my insurance changed and they aren't included on our new insurance plan. :(

Good luck!

I too go to Female Healthcare Associates and have gone there now for about 4 years. I trust and value them more than I could say. The office staff is reasonably friendly and the Doctors are amazing. Additionally, I have never had to wait longer than 20 minutes or so for my appointment and IF I had to wait that long, the Doc took the time to apologize.

I personally LOVE Dr. Binette. If you go to him, tell him N. D. sent you. He has helped my family so much. I am currently seeing him in the Bloomingdale office but will moving to the Naperville office soon (we are moving). Anyway, I hope that this helps. Feel free to write if you have more specific questions.

By the way, CDH rocks too!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Female Healthcare Associates, Ltd. They have an office in Bloomingdale on Army Trail Rd. just west of Gary. The staff (nurses, receptionists, billing dept.) everyone is absolutely fabulous. The doctors are so kind and caring that when I was pregnant, it did not matter to me who I saw at my visits because I knew I was going to get the same quality of care from everyone. Now that my son is born, I miss going there because they are just that nice. Oh yeah their phone number is ###-###-####. Hope this helps.

Dr. Jacklyn Clasen is affiliated with CDH and has an office in Glen Ellyn. She was my OB for both my pregnancies, both high risk. Of course she is also my GYN and has been wonderful in both capacities. She is calm, careful and up on the more recent research. I don't know too much about the staff at the Glen Ellyn office as I usually go to the one in Naperville, but the one time I went the staff were nice and I didn't wait too long. I think the practice may have also just opened up another office in Bloomingdale.
