As a matter of fact I start chemo today. I write this post for two reasons; 1. people deserve recognition no matter what level they are grocery store clerk to surgeon. 2. As I was wheeled into the operating room the last thing I remember was looking to my left and Dr. Hansen was there and she took my left hand and held it warmly as I went under. It still brings tears to my eyes. Dr. Hansen obviously has a warm heart toward each of her patients.

After moving back to chicago after college I returned to northshore/Swedish as that's where my…read morepediatrician was previously located. Since then I've seen only two primary care doctors (one- two times each if that), choosing them only because they had the earliest availability, not because I had a good connection with them, actually quite the contrary, as one suggested against a routine culture as I was sexually active but not showing ill symptoms. Anyway, I have an appointment for a procedure at a medspa next week and before moving forward with it, I wanted to meet with a new doctor to get a second opinion. I already paid my deposit with the medspa but have 72 hours to cancel it if need be. My primary care doctor (I've only seen once) was booked until September and I was looking to switch anyway. I booked with Dr. Johansson as he was the only doctor who had availability before my med spa appointment and had good reviews. I then received a phone call from his receptionist saying he couldn't take me. I asked why not. She said because "he's the doctor and he said so" and couldn't give me a reason. I was honest and said as long as there's availability with him online I'm going to continue to book until I have a valid reason for cancellation. I'm a paying customer with insurance. When I pushed for an answer, she said one can perceive my actions as 'doctor hopping,' which doctors don't like. I informed her that I had yet to speak with a licensed physician about this concern, as my record can reflect, and that I was just looking for a second opinion not necessarily a prescription. I previously missed an appointment regarding the same issue but the record reflects that I never met or spoke with a doctor. I haven't seen any doctor about anything since April. There was no "I'll let the doctor know" or "I'll have him follow up," it was a complete disregard for patient care. Pretentious, I have the power attitude, and cares more about being right than understanding not everyone situation is black and white. I understand there are patients that 'doctor hop' looking for a certain result but doctors should have the decency to hear a patient out. Patients should have a right to switch to doctors they feel comfortable and safe with, just like patients can switch therapists. Looks like not being able to schedule with him was a blessing in disguise.

As soon as she walked in, I felt like I had known her for years and instantly felt calm. Throughout the whole process, she was supportive and explained everything really well to me. I loved her bedside manor. She was cautious, but did not want to do anything that was no needed. Any decision that I made, she always listened too. If I thought something that she did not agree with she explained why in a thoughtful way without making me feel dumb for my idea (which it was - in fact- dumb). Her entire team was lovely and I really loved Dr. Baskin as well. Dr. Sodini was very nice as well. but Dr. Delinado and Dr. Baskin really rocked my world. My epidural wore off during labor due to a poor placement (no fault to the dr.) Dr. Delfinado sat with me and assured me that this was a hard situation and that I could do this. I cried, she let me, then she made me rest. When I woke up (THANK GOD FOR EPIDURALS) I was time to push and I delivered a healthy boy with minimal tearing. This woman is a rock star and I will be back if I have another baby.

I would really like to write a positive review of Dr. Delfinado, as I truly liked her as a person…read more Her bedside manner trumps that of her practice partner, Dr. Sodini, and she is genuinely a nice person. But I feel like it is really important to share my multiple negative experiences with Dr. Delfinado and her practice so anyone reading these reviews can be fully informed. However, I had too many problems with her office and a horrible experience at my last appointment with her, and I do not plan to return to her. I had many problems with her staff, who come across as disorganization and unprofessional. They were confusing, frustrating and, at least once, extremely upsetting. I did feel like Dr. Delfinado spent more time with me when I had issues than her partner Dr. Sodini. We talked at greater length about my problems and possible solutions. I did feel like she listened to me more. But when ongoing medical problems weren't solved, Dr. Delfinado eventually recommended blindly taking a course of action with either a prescription or a topical medication when she had not yet determined my problem. It was at this point that I sought out a new OB/GYNE who matched my philosophy of finding the root of the problem and tackling it from there. I found myself in Dr. Delfinado's office one last time after that when my new OB/GYNE could not see me, and I had a terrible experience with Dr. Delfinado and her staff that day. I no longer will see her and would sooner seek out a OB/GYNE who I do not know and have never seen before in a situation where I cannot see my new doctor. I am now seeing a new OB/GYNE who has addressed my problems with a systemic, holistic approach. This doctor has spent time understanding me and my health. No topical creams, no temporary solutions, no rushing me through the system. And I am feeling great. As one reviewer put it, if you do NOT have any issues and just want your BC prescription or an annual pap smear, these doctors are fabulous to see. If you have any issues at all (which unfortunately one cannot predict), then this is not the practice for you.

Unprofessional, heartless, and completely devoid of empathy…read more My very first ultrasound here and as a FTM was unfortunately a terrible experience. I was publicly scolded in the hallway, near the waiting area, as I'm exiting the bathroom (hadn't even closed the door yet) by the ultrasound tech for using the bathroom before my appointment. My doctor never informed me a full bladder was required, yet when I explained I had been in agonizing discomfort, and was unaware of this rule, the tech doubled down, shamed me, and told me I "should have read the packet." "Didn't you get a folder?" "It was in the instructions" "Okay well I guess we can try it anyway, cmon let's go!!" - as I'm attempting to grab my things from the waiting room" No grace, no understanding--just public humiliation while vulnerable and pregnant. My husband and I were so taken aback and stood there, completely stunned. What should have been a beautiful moment to see my baby was robbed by the hostility of the tech. It only got worse. When I immediately broke down to NP Rachel about how deeply upsetting and unprofessional the tech's behavior was, she stared at me with ice-cold indifference. As I sat there crying, she didn't offer a single apology, acknowledgement of what I just shared with her or even a tissue as I'm crying (I literally can't make this up) Instead, she completely washed her hands of the situation, telling me to "talk to Michelle on your way out, she handles all that stuff" Now I'm frustrated, I say "Ok, and who is Michelle? And what "stuff does she handle" "Are you at least going to put this in my notes" NP Rachel - "She is the office manager and she just knows and has experience handling all of that, so yeah she'd be the one to talk to" lmao WHAT?! I'm now flabbergasted by her response and complete dismissal. Never have I had a provider tell me to take my concerns about PATIENT CARE to an office manager. I am your patient, not the office manager's. To top it off, Michelle was conveniently on "break," and my promised follow-up call never happened. It took an entire week and me officially requesting my medical records to transfer care for anyone to even acknowledge me and then I was told the sticky note to call me was lost on Michelle's desk. The incompetence is crazy at this point. Aside from two lovely receptionists named Renee and Maria, this entire practice is a cold, unprofessional failure. If you want to be treated like a human being during your pregnancy, stay far away from this place!!!

She cut into me with a scalpel and ignored me wailing in pain. I asked before the procedure if I could be numbed and she said that's not how it's done, which by every account, is a lie. I asked if I could have a moment to think about it beforehand, she declined. This woman is cruel and in no way cares about her patients. Please, spare your wellbeing and don't see this doctor. I could cry just thinking about this experience. I don't understand how this was allowed to happen. And to top it all off, the surgery was ineffective.

All my concerns were totally heard out, and I never felt forced or pressured to do anything I felt uncomfortable with. I was given clear expectations and multiple options at every step of the exam to make sure I was never surprised or uncomfortable. By the end of my visit, I had answers about my issues as well as a clear, manageable plan for my care going forward and backups in case Plan A didn't work out. CWHC is a haven for people who have had barriers or negative experiences with health care, and they are doing amazing work to provide care to people.

I have since returned for another appointment to address a concern I was having, and everyone there was extremely helpful with all of my questions and endless phone calls. I'm so glad to have a reliable healthcare provider, especially with all of the uncertainty of the times we are in. When I expressed concern that I was potentially losing my health insurance after being furloughed, they explained their sliding scale model and assured me to never cancel an appointment for the reason of not being able to afford it, because they will always work the patients to make it work. I feel so supported and comfortable with CWHC!
