Dr. Cudahy is a dream come true. She is both my mother's and my primary care physician…read more Dr. Cudahy became my physician around the time when I was having full blown panic attacks. She was incredibly understanding and sympathetic and made me feel a lot less crazy than I felt. My mom had just moved to Chicago and didn't have a primary care doctor but was exhibiting some erratic behavior and was having trouble with her memory. I brought my mother in to see Dr. Cudahy, who concluded that she was likely experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. Dr. C referred us to the neurologists at Northwestern - telling us that she believed in sending patients to the best resources in the city - she rattled off the resources that exist for cancer patients and heart problems and promised me that Northwestern was the place for Alzheimer's care. Later, my mother had a herniated disk. After initially taking her to an emergency room in the western suburbs, I called Dr. C and she walked me through getting my mom into Masonic so that she could personally check up on her. Since then, we both have annual check-ups with Dr. Cudahy and both my mother and I are huge fans. My mom gets excited about her doctor's appointments, and I'm just relieved to be going to someone who I trust so much. (During the midstages of her Alzheimer's my mom would talk incessantly about "Hootahay" - her version of Dr. Cudahay.) Not to mention she's insanely smart, down to earth, and a wonderful (and empathetic) human being. WE LOVE HER!!!

I've been shopping around for a primary care physician for awhile, and am pleased to have finally…read morefound Dr. Cudahy. Her location in East Lakeview is great, such that in the event that I need to hobble to the doctor from my house on a sick day, I can do so without significant effort. The facility is nice, and is associated with a highly ranked hospital, and her office is one door down from the lab facility. Even better, Dr. Cudahy is an internist, which therefore means I don't need to go to an additional lady doctor, which is great since I'm not having a baby anytime soon and really don't need an OB. She is comfortably chatty, and was interested in both my medical history and my personal history/mental health, and made me feel quite relaxed and trusting. What I found important was that she was non-judgmental - I hate having to brace myself for a reprimand when you're answering such questions as "how much do you drink on a given night" and "are you sexually active," but she was very open and understanding. Oh! Lastly, Illinois Masonic has a pretty good website, so you can see her profile online, as well as book your appointment through a web app. The people in their scheduling department were also quite kind and accommodating, and were able to get me an appointment post-working hours!

Dr. Hungerford was recommended to me by several people. I was so beyond disappointed in her…read more I just moved here and have tried to find a reputable OBGYN. I tried two different clinics, each with their own horror story, I had yet to actually see a doctor. I made my appointment about a month out. I had requested the first appointment of the day, but was advised that those were booked out far in advance. Bummer. The next day the clinic called me to reschedule - and low and behold I could get the first appointment. So, the day before the day, I was called like normal to be reminded of my appointment and could I please arrive early. No problem. I get there at 7:15. They take me back for my weight, blood pressure, etc. They take me to the room and advise me to stay dressed because since I am a new patient the doctor will want to talk to me first. No problem. I it now 7:40 or so. I wait. And, wait. a little after 8:00 the nurse that took my vitals advises me that the doctor "is on her way" and that it should be only a few more minutes. No problem. Now, it is 8:15, no doctor. The nurse comes back again, and "the doctor is on her way, she is very sorry that she is stuck in traffic". I'm thinking, "well, you live in Chicago, you know about Chicago's traffic, you should have planned for this". But, okay, no problem. So I sit. And sit. And sit. Now it's 8:55 and no doctor. No check in since the last check in, and by now I'm livid. I have been sitting there for an hour waiting. All I could think of is why in the hell didn't this doctor say that she was going to be too late and reschedule me instead of making me wait? Or, why doesn't the clinic have another doctor that is there come in and help me? Neither of which happens. So, I leave the room, and walk around trying to find someone to find out where in the hell this doctor is! And, I'm met with the same excuse, "the doctor is on her way". I asked for an appointment the same day - specifically I asked for an appointment an hour after the doctor's last appoointment to see how she likes to wait around for her patients. Livid doesn't begin to describe tmy anger at that time. I went back to the room to calm down a bit and another doctor (finally!) comes in to apologize and offers to conduct the physical. At this point, I cannot because I had already spent the amount of time that I had allotted waiting for the doctor to show up! This doctor never apologized to me. Never called to offer an apology, an explanation. I cannot believe that she was recommended to me! I understand that this was a one-time event for her, but this was my introduction to her, and it left more than a sour taste in my mouth. I would NEVER go back to this doctor again. Unprofessional. Very unprofessional.

If you need a C-Section, this doctor is the guy to go to. He stitched up my wife's incision with…read moregreat skill. The scar is barely noticeable. I imagine the skill comes from performing LOTS of C-sections. So we birthed our first two children with Dr Herriges. If you go with the flow and submit to the medical model of childbirth, He is the nicest OBGYN you'll ever come across. That was the experience of the first birth. We were 1 week overdue, my wife was induced, induction failed (surprise!!) and she was sectioned. Thankfully he did say my wife could have a natural birth the next time around. After this experience along with lots of reflection, my wife felt this experience just wasn't right. Things didn't add up. So, she educated herself on natural childbirth and VBAC and soon I jumped on board as well. She designed a birth plan and wanted to take ownership of her birth experience. When she presented Dr Herriges with her plan, out came the red pen and many many requests were slashed off the list. His dismissive remarks of natural childbirth as being "granola" were many. He also employed his manipulative statements regarding possible risks factors: "there is a 1% chance of (insert complication) happening, but if it happens to you its 100%." So we carried on and foolishly & did not search for another provider. On the day of birth as labor dragged on for hours and hours, Dr Herriges pushed to have us sign consent to C-section forms. We refused and he was NOT pleased. He proceeded to engage in a yelling match with my wife (WHILE IN LABOR) explaining his disapproval or our own research on Vaginal Birth after C-Section and he dismissed that being in a calm setting and focusing on the birth would have any positive influence on getting labor going. Next he warned us that the risk of carrying on without intervention would lead to a baby born with palsy because the baby was tachycardic. Thankfully we educated ourselves on tachycardia and how to understand the medical instruments. The baby was fine. He also explained that my wife's pelvis was untested and probably unable to birth a baby. After continued conflict with Dr Herriges, I took him outside and instructed him to stay away from our room and he was banned unless I requested his presence. 6 hours later....our baby was born vaginally. No Palsy, Healthy, 10 lb baby boy. Funny thing....while waiting for the Placenta to pass, Dr Herriges looked up to the clock (it was 10pm) and unwittingly said, "well looks like I missed my daughter's birthday party." Needless to say our next baby will not be born in a hospital or attended by an OBGYN. It will be at home with a Midwife. Thanks Doc!

He delivered my brother, who's now 8, and will hopefully deliver my not yet conceived baby. Dr. Herriges doesn't rush through the visit with you and will talk to you about whatever you want. The waiting room is soothing and quiet. Norma, his wife, is always there and helps you in every single way she can. The only negative thing about this practice is that the doctor is always so booked, that I have to make my appointments at least a month in advance. He delivers more babies than any other doctor at St. Francis. If you don't mind a man as your obgyn and can get an appointment with him, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

I truly don't have enough words to express my gratitude for Dr. Shashoua. He literally saved my…read morelife and has continued to go above and beyond for what has been a very complicated and emotional journey with stage 4 endometriosis and infertility. I first met Dr. Shashoua after a failed embryo transfer that left me septic, internally bleeding, and in critical condition. I was so sick that I didn't fully understand what was happening -- I was truly dying. Dr. Shashoua stepped in with the urgency, skill, and calm confidence that only an exceptional surgeon can bring. He performed the emergency operation that saved my life, and I will forever be grateful. After stabilizing me, he did something that shows how deeply he cares about his patients: he referred me to a far better fertility doctor because he knew I needed more specialized and attentive care than I had previously received. That referral changed everything for my fertility journey. A few months later, he performed my endometriosis excision surgery and removed my tubes. These were major, life-altering procedures, and he approached every decision with precision, empathy, and extraordinary expertise. I now see him regularly to monitor and manage my endometriosis and infertility, and he continues to provide the highest level of care. What sets him apart is how closely he works hand-in-hand with my fertility doctor, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is coordinated. My case is extremely complex and often overwhelming, but he has never once made me feel like a burden. He treats me with compassion, respect, and true dedication. If you have endometriosis, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or any complicated gynecologic or urologic condition, Dr. Shashoua is the doctor you want in your corner. He is an extraordinary surgeon, an exceptional physician, and someone who genuinely cares about his patients' lives and futures. I owe him mine.

I feel like I'm finally getting taken care of well with this group. Also, when I was looking for a gyno (my previous one closed shop without notice), I asked all my friends if they had one to recommend. They all had one, but not one could say they would recommend. That's a sad state of medicine. I am recommending this group. I even went in for an interview appointment first, to see if I liked them before coming back for care. Please know that's an option!
