Imagine being 8 months pregnant, finding blood in your urine, going to Evanston L&D in the middle of the night and a doctor slamming a door in your face telling you " I know what I'm doing I do this for a living!"all because you questioned the safety of a medication she prescribed. The resident I was unfortunate enough to work with, Nicole Michael, was also abysmal but I'll give her a pass because I was a resident at one point in my career. Apparently questions are not welcomed by Mary Conte. She insisted I had a UTI when every Urine analysis and culture came back negative for uti pathogens. Did she follow up with additional testing to figure out why there's blood in my urine? Or advise me on how to move forward? Nope. Turns out I had massive kidney stones in both kidneys which a month later I woke up in immense pain and it induced early labor. If she had done additional testing and follow ups, I could've been referred to a urologist and developed a plan. Just absolute sub par care and according to the nurses at Evanston, they can't stand Conte either. I hope Evanston HR sees this and acts accordingly. Mary Conte is the reason I and my entire family have switched from this OB practice to Advocate.

Every member of their staff is dedicated to providing an outstanding and unparalleled level of care. I was nervous to switch at 24 weeks pregnant, but made the plunge after a friend recounted their experience. This was the BEST decision I could have made for my pregnancy and labor/delivery. It was evident from my first visit that all of these professionals are deeply passionate about what they do. The receptionists were so friendly and welcoming; they always remembered who I was, and greeted me warmly upon my arrival. The nurses were so gentle and sweet, and I felt that they truly cared for me and my well being. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all of the midwives on staff. Each midwife proved to be an expert in her field. They all showed kindness and compassion for me, and were invested in my experience throughout the process. They all spent a considerable amount of time with me for each appointment to ensure all my questions were addressed, and that I felt comfortable and at ease. When it came time to deliver, the midwife on call was PHENOMENAL; she exceeded all of my expectations. It felt as though she didn't leave my side for the full 36 hours, although at some point she managed to deliver 4 other babies. Being a first time mom, she was very patient with me and explained things thoroughly as I progressed. I felt like we were a team, and that I was in full control of the process. I was looking for a practice that would allow for a low intervention birth, and I found it here with NSAGO. I felt safe that, should I become high risk at any time, the team would have the tools to ensure a smooth delivery, all the way up to a C-section if necessary. Thanks to the expertise of my team, I was able to deliver vaginally. I can say with certainty that this would not have been the same experience had I stayed with my former practice of OBs. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough! Thank you NSAGO!

If I could give Dr. Warner 100 stars, I would in a heartbeat. After having a completely terrible…read moreexperience with another OB very early in my pregnancy, I went online and googled "best OB in Evanston" Dr. Warner was at the top of the list. After reading a bunch of other reviews, I switched my insurance over to her and never looked back. She is knowledgeable, patient, responsive, honest, and every other positive thing you'd look for in an OB. I was almost 3 months pregnant at our first visit and reeling from my previous terrible experience with Dr. Herriges and his practice (that's a whole other story - feel free to read that review if you want to know what not to look for in an OB). She answered all of my questions, helped my icky feelings fade away, and put my mind at ease in a matter of 15 minutes. She helped me get my very limited medical records sent over, reviewed my results from those tests and let us know that everything was going well thus far in a matter of days. Throughout my pregnancy, she never cancelled an appointment, was extremely communicative, and kept me confident that we could totally do this. Her office has a nurse available to answer questions M-F and they call you back promptly with answers to your questions, no matter how silly the questions may seem. On to my delivery, which was unplanned to a degree. Our babe was breech, and we tried spinning babies exercises, moxa, acupuncture, and nothing worked. We made the decision to try ECV, for which Dr. Warner referred us to a MFM specialist. On the day of the procedure at 37 weeks and 2 days, things did not go as planned that Dr. let us know we would delivering that day and that Dr. Warner knew and she'd be over as soon as she finished with one other patient. Holy. Crap. Well, Dr. Warner arrived, made sure we understood what was happening, walked me into the OR, soothed my frazzled psyche with some deep breaths and her ultra calm demeanor, and we were on our way. Dr. Warner truly is the best OB in Evanston, at least she is the best one for me. I absolutely adore her and her team!

If you want to be seen on time, don't see Dr. Ashby. My last appointment, I came early (as you know you're always asked to come 15min early). I came early, waited almost half hour in the waiting room (mind you i left almost an hour from work to make this appointment, losing money just to make this appointment). i am sitting in the room, the MA tells me 'don't get undressed yet she may be a bit'. Finally, she comes in and tells me to get ready. It's now an HOUR into my appointment time, i'm still not seen. I leave... she calls me when i arrive home and apologizes. I told her maybe she should think about extending her time, she said she already has but likes to spend time with her patients. I told her well maybe i should start coming late to my appointments since she's clearly never on time, she laughs. i honestly didn't think it was funny. She schedules me for 2 weeks out (today, this morning.. of course i am working). I leave work, get there under 10min late because i too work at a hospital and couldn't get away on time. After i check in and sit down, i am told it will be 25-30 minutes. i tell the lady 'im leaving', i already know it'll be over an hour til i am seen. i'm working, i dont have time to sit around. she took another patient, she couldn't wait for me. meanwhile, at the last appointment, i waited an hour and was never seen. Dr. Ashby has absolutely ZERO respect for her patient's time, she clearly thinks we have all the time to wait around and see her. To me, this is very disrespectful. Everyone's time is precious and important. I have wasted time out of my work day more than once to see her, i refuse to do it again. I love Dr. Ashby as a provider, but it's insane to think people will wait every single time over half an hour to see her. The disrespect speaks volumes.

Which means that even if Dr. Dillon is your main doc, but she isn't on call the day you're popping out the baby, then she won't be delivering your little bundle.

Midwest Center means nothing other than a common name, like going to a Shell gas station, one has nothing to do with another. Took me multiple requests, over a period of more than 3 years to get my medical records transferred to my new doctor, which were finally transferred as of this year, 2025. Good Lord. What a frickin joke. Please, please, don't waste your time there. See previous review by me if you want the full story. Sep 9, 2022Previous review After being a patient in this practice, long before it became MCWHC, like two decades long, my previous doctors retired, one after the other. Since the changes in doctors in this office, that for me began this year, it was a nightmare to get an appointment, no one seemed to know who was where and when. Had a procedure scheduled for March and received a call 3 days prior regarding the meds and was told that the procedure needed to be pre-paid, even though I have very good insurance. Was 'allowed' to make arrangements since I hadn't been notified and providing that I pay a portion up front. Subsequent billing to my insurance company was submitted with my name reading two different ways and insurance company processed the claims as two different people with two different deductibles. While in direct contact with the billing department, it took me 4 months to get it straight with the insurance company. All along, I continued to make monthly payments since I didn't originally know where the fault lay. Once I discovered it was the bill submissions that caused the errors and delay in payment, the claims were corrected by the insurance company. The very same day that I receive the corrected statement from insurance, I received a voice mail that I was being sent to collection. I returned the call and told them to do whatever they felt was necessary. Not one time did I receive an apology for the months of agony dealing with the insurance company that had to go through every single claim from every single provider this year to resolve the issue. The billing department of MCWHC further claimed that I had not made a payment since March when, in fact, I had paid over $800 while all of this was happening. After receiving nonsense responses from billing, telling me where to look on their website but in no way providing confirmation of my payments, I finally began sending emails directly to Dr. Clear to no avail. My emails have gone completely ignored. Last communication I had with her was that she was going to reach out to my oncology gyne for a consult and get back to me, that's right, oncology. Never heard another word. Maybe I am dying, I guess I won't know from Dr. Clear. The last email I sent to Dr. Clear, I made it clear that no response is a response. After reading all of the complaints here on Yelp, I could not agree more with the rudeness of the billing office and the office staff. They could care less about your health, they are all in for the money. I told Dr. Clear that it is unfortunate that she and others came into a practice that was built long and hard by others that they are destroying day by day. Very sad. Please go somewhere else as I am.
