Sometimes I feel like I am the only woman in the city that didn't deliver at Northwestern. I wanted a doctor that wasn't part of a group so that I would see the same doctor for every visit and so that I knew that that doctor would deliver my baby. I went to Dr. Boatwright at Rush and was very happy. She is very laid back, which I needed since I tend to get a bit stressed and to be a worry-wort. There were negatives to my approach, since she is in private practice and does all of the deliveries herself, I did have some lenghthy waits but I was never cancelled as I was once when I went to Dr. Starr at Northwestern before I was pregnant. Dr. Boatwright does appointments into the evenings on Wednesdays and I found that those worked out best for me since I could go after work and took a book and didn't worry if I had to wait a while for my appointment.
My delivery went very well despite having preclampsia. The nurses at Rush are the best. It is a teaching hospital though, so if that bothers you, it is not the place for you.
Finally, our families are from out of state and Rush was really easy for them to get to since it is right off of 290.
I don't know if she accepts Aetna PPO, but I have an HMO and she accepted it so I would assume she would accept your PPO.
