Question

Trigger warning: Any recommendations on a High Risk Pregnancy OBGYN?  I had a miscarriage today and didn’t like how my current clinic handled everything. I’m devastated.  

Answer 1

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dr. Martin has been my guy for the last six years. He caught what could have been a bombshell then and have kept me well through the ups and downs ever since. He and Dr. Weeks are wonderful. The rest of the practice (DMG Naperville) is great- but when given the choice- I ask for either of them.  

Answer 2

I’m so sorry love ❤️

Answer 3

Hugs and prayers  

Answer 4

I’m so sorry Missy. I had a horrible experience at northwestern/prentice when I went through my first m/c-that really was a nightmare. It was an undiagnosed ectopic. so emotionally scarred from all that. I highly recommend moving on, and finding the right individual care you need. my first Obgyn has since retired from delivering babies but he was amazing. I delivered my third at Edwards with DMG Dr. peter Weeks.  

Answer 5

You are in my prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss. I go to Naperville Women’s Heathcare. They could not have been more compassionate- I was out of town and had to go to a hospital in Indiana. When I came back, I went to see my doctor, Dr. Flannery was on call. They took their time, explained all procedures I needed, and gave me numbers/ support groups to help with my loss. I even got a blue and pink flowers with a handwritten card. My thoughts are with you, you are not alone ❤️❤️❤️

Answer 6

Very sorry for you loss. Dr. Julie Jensen was my favorite high risk obgyn

Answer 7

Dr Chen and Dr Carver

Answer 8

So sorry for your loss

Answer 9

So very sorry for your loss.  

Answer 10

Dr Jill Moran is a wonderful mfm for high risk, and I enjoyed dr Anderson. For me Jensen seemed busy and couldn’t remember any of my info every time I was there. Nothing was personal and especially in those situations I feel you need that. Hugs. Been there. ❤️

Yes, thank you for this. I was just going to suggest the same thing. I’m sorry for your loss, and everyone else who has mentioned theirs here as well. None of you have to grieve alone. Share is a wonderful program through Edward and Elmhurst Hospitals. You don’t have to be affiliated with the hospitals. Hugs and Love! Feel free to PM me for more info.  

Answer 27

I am so sorry for your loss. I experienced a miscarriage last October and my OB was so caring and kind. He called to check on me a couple of times prior to having a D&C (my body was still holding on for weeks after I lost the baby) I love my OB. Dr Thomas Kazmierczak with DuPage Medical Group. He even offered to say a prayer for the baby during the D&C. We aren’t super religious but I thought that it was a very kind gesture. I cannot say enough good things about him and the other doctor in his practice.  

Answer 28

So very sorry. My prayers are with you!  

Answer 29

OMG I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss :_( I don't know if she specializes in high risk but she's great. Has awards for best OBGYN in the states Dr. Shamim Patel in Woodridge. She is INCREDIBLY thorough, if she gets the slightest hint of a problem she does any and every test and precaution known to man. .

Comments

@yance that’s what I needed. Unfortunately they didn’t care.  

---

@censorship I'm so so sorry. I know nothing can help ur current situation :( but if ur even in the fortuitous situation of being with child again Dr. Patel could easily be called overly cautious. She went above and beyond with me. I was 35 last year when my son was born (technically a geriatric pregnancy) and she took EVERY precaution. Best if all luck. We are all here if u need anything  

---

@yance thanks so much for your kindness  

Answer 30

Missy, I’m so very sorry. It’s so painful. There is a wonderful support group out of Edward’s called Share. It’s for parents after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. It’s run by the most tender and knowledgeable women. If you feel like you would benefit from talking (or just listening), pm me for details. Take care

Comments

@devoirs60 I will, thank you

@censorship this was the group i was telling you about. Here is the link  
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Sha...share

Answer 31

I’m sorry for the experience you’ve had today. Look at all of this support! I, too, have been in your shoes. My previous practice handled my first miscarriage extremely poorly (didn’t return my frantic phone call until three days later! ), so I called another practice. That team is amazing! I ended up having another miscarriage a short time thereafter. and they were fantastic. I have NEVER been so happy with or trust a team of doctors as I do with my OB team. Dr Gordon from Dr. Julie Jensen’s practice delivered my baby 1. 5 y ago (I’m approaching 40y). I can’t speak more highly of these doctors. I am sending my best to you. Know you aren’t alone. best wishes

Lots of Hugs to you @censorship

Answer 35

So sorry for your loss! When I had a miscarriage back in 2014, I was very impressed with Dr. Martin with DMG and how he handled the situation. With my most recent pregnancy I had to see a high risk doc, and Dr. Moran was fantastic.  

Comments

Agreed! Dr. Martin would be my only choice in such situation. I'm so sorry for your loss!  

Answer 36

I’m so sorry.  

Answer 37

Sorry for your loss @censorship! No words can replace the emptiness you may feel right now but I hope you and you family can find peace soon  

Answer 38

We loved our doctors at Northwestern CDH!  

Answer 39

Dr @seeder72 Carney (used to be in Naperville women’s group, now she’s at DMG I believe) saved my life when she diagnosed my Cornual Ectopic pregnancy. Ultrasound couldn’t pick up on it so the ER doc said it was just normal bleeding. She went with her gut and kept running tests on me. Sure enough she confirmed it when she went in laparoscopically. It was days away from bursting. She saved my life. I highly recommend her.  

Comments

@hindu I had the same experience with an Ectopic back in 2018 with Dr Julie Jensen who works with Dr Carney too. They were great through the entire awful time. I'm now 16 weeks and I get to meet Dr Carney on my 20 week appt!  

Answer 40

I'm sorry for your loss, cannot imagine what you are going through. Sending you prayers and love

Answer 41

I am so sorry mama! Dr Martin with DMG has been amazing, I’ve had a few miscarriages and his guidance and support through that rough time (my last one, when I finally found him) and even now ahh I couldn’t be more grateful to him! Big hugs!  

Answer 42

I’m so sorry. I was high risk and I went to Loyola

Answer 43

Answer 44

Oh, I am so sorry about your loss. I am holding space for you  

Answer 45

I’m so sorry. Hugs to you  

Answer 46

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been there and I know how hard it is.  

Answer 47

I’m so sorry. As a fellow loss mama, this truly is devastating. It’s a drive but Dr Carroll in carol stream is the best doctor ever.  

Answer 48

I am so sorry. There is nothing like this pain. I am just so sorry.  

Answer 49

The naperville DMG group is wonderful. Sayla helped me when I had my miscarriage, Martin monitored me throughout my pregnancy, and stoeffler did my D/C and helped me in the ER. Praying for comfort for you.  

Answer 50

I’m so sorry for your loss. It is quite possibly the worst feeling. I had a loss in August and didn’t like the way it was handled at my old office. A friend who had been in my shoes recommended Dr. Weeks or Dr. Martin. It was the best switch I have ever made. I know their practice has been suggested several times on the thread but honestly, they have been nothing but phenomenal! Good luck. Hugs to you!  

Comments

@trantrance @danit dr weeks delivered both of the boys. I was also considered high risk because both of my boys are fertility babies. They are all amazing!  

---

@knowles Dyson wow! What’s a small world! I saw him 3 weeks after our loss, which was not handled well at all at my last practice, and the first thing he did was give me the biggest hug. I knew we were in the right place. So far, we’ve met Martin, weeks, Sayla, and Keegan. Love them all!  

---

@trantrance @danit I love Weeks so much. He literally is the most caring human! He will take very good care of you!  

---

@knowles Dyson I believe that! He has already helped so much! But it’s so good to have yet another friend recommend them!  

Answer 51

Dr Tom at Rush Copley. He is really really wonderful!  

Answer 52

Dr. Julie Jenson with the DuPage medical group is amazing and has been proclaimed as one of best ob-gyn. She was brilliant with my delivery. And sending love and light your way. You tc and stay strong.  

Answer 53

Dr. Ellen Embry at Women’s Healthcare Associates/Rush Copley was my doctor through a miscarriage and two subsequent births. The whole group there is great.  

Answer 54

No recommendations, but I am so sorry, it is truly hard breaking to miscarry. Stay strong.  

Answer 55

I'm so, so sorry!  

Answer 56

I am so sorry for your loss, mama.  Don't let anyone diminish how you are feeling and what you need to heal or how long. I empathize with you I've lost 2 through miscarriage. You are strong and you are worthy, mama! Hugs to you and prayers for you.  

Answer 57

Sorry for your loss, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Taylor, Dr. Madsen and Dr. Moran with DMG Maternal Fetal Medicine at their office in Naperville. They all are great, I’ve seen Dr. Taylor the most but again they all have been very great to me as I am due soon. Good luck hun! Sending prayers and love to you and your family.  

Comments

I totally agree, Taty! They saw and helped with things that came up. Always available!  

Answer 58

I am so sorry.  

Answer 59

So sorry for your loss. 1000000% recommend Julie Jensen with DuPage medical. She’s high risk and delivered both of my children with difficult deliveries. Hands down the BEST

Comments

@charcot Setork I agree with your recommendation. She didn’t deliver my babies but was a part of the practice at the time and was always well thought of. I know she delivered high risk multiples during that time.  

Answer 60

I'm so incredibly sorry. Know there are so many of us who know your pain and will hold you in our hearts.  

Answer 61

I am so sorry.  

Answer 62

All the DMG ob docs are great! I personally love Dr. Weeks and Dr. Li! I can't say enough good things about them.  

Answer 63

Sorry to hear  this devastating loss!  

Answer 64

I don’t know where TO go but I can tell you from our experience that I will not be going back to West Suburban Women’s Health. We went there because they were so highly recommended in another Mom’s group and we had the most awful experience. I did love the care I received through Maternal Fetal Medicine at Hinsdale Hospital, I’m not sure if they take on their own patients or not but I will be looking into that in the near future. Sending so much love your way. ♥️

Answer 65

I am so sorry for your loss. I also had a devestatinf experience with medical stuff after a devastating loss. I understand how you can feel so alone, and then the few people who know are so callused to the emotional side and just makes you feel even more broken and isolated. I wish I had soneone to recommend. ❤️ prayers for your healing, physically and emotionally.  

Answer 66

I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy, especially when not handled properly. I had a similar situation with my 1st miscarriage with a doctor who is no longer practicing. I switched to Dr Peter Weeks 17 years ago and he is amazing, although I am not sure if he is considered high risk. My sister (and many others I know) used Dr. Julie Jensen. She is awesome and I believe she works with high risk. I wish you the best and am sending you virtual hugs.  

Answer 67

So Sorry for your loss!  

Answer 68

I was considered very high risk, and west suburban women’s clinic in willowbrook took excellent care of me. And my daughter turns 7 next week. (I’m sorry for your loss. )

Answer 69

I am so sorry! It is as important now to be mentally taken care of as it is physically. Be good to you! Dr Julie Jensen ^^^^ also delivered 2 of my children, now 21 and 23 . I had several complications with one of the two deliveries and post natal. She is a wonderful!  

Comments

@seeder72 Gentile-Carlson Julie Jensen wonderful and close by !  

---

I am incredibly sorry for this loss and your unpleasant experience at the clinic. my heart breaks for you and I hope you can find ways to support yourself  For a high risk MFM consult (one time visit), I would definitely journey down to the MFM group at Prentice. They all are wonderful. If you need to have an MFM throughout the entire pregnancy (like I did with my 2nd), I felt very assured going there in an academic setting for every visit, test, and delivery. With my 3rd, I chose to be seen in town because proximity to the hospital was my priority in case an emergency happened and it is difficult driving to the city for every visit. The MFMs in town don’t see you the entire pregnancy like at Prentice. They only do the specialized testing and consults. So I chose Julie Jensen’s practice for OB. While you would see all of the physicians there at some point, I preferred Dr Patten’s bedside manner but felt very safe with Jensen for the c section. Any high risk testing would be done by the MFMs at Edward and I liked Dr. Madsen there. Good luck on this journey of grief and family planning. Sending you a big hug  

Answer 70

So sorry for your loss

Answer 71

I didn’t like DMG. I went to Northwestern (Prentice). When it comes to high risk, being in a major academic center is key in my opinion. I ended up flying to UCSF for emergency surgery based on a misdiagnosis through DMG - UCSF realized my identical twin pregnancy was actually fine. They then told me not to mess around and referred me to MFM at Prentice. I am so sorry for your loss.  

Comments

Oh, and I really don’t recommend Jensen. She is outdated, and was rude.  

Answer 72

Julie Jensen is great!  

Answer 73

I'm sorry for your loss. I've been there and I know how devastating it is. Take good care of yourself.  

Answer 74

I have nothing to offer with a MD recommendation because I go to a practice in the city. but I’m sorry you are going through this. I had two miscarriages and a fertility specialist told me I had less than a 5% chance of having a baby without IVF. 4 years later, two miscarriages, and a lot of tears and anxiety. my little girl will be 1 next week and we conceived naturally. Life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. Just know you aren’t alone in this ❤️ and it’s ok to grieve your loss.  

Answer 75

So very sorry for this painful loss. I know it’s excruciating.  I have had a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, and also a baby who didn’t survive due to trisomy 18. Time will make the waves of sorrow smaller and less frequent, but they do still roll in sometimes bringing sorrow. My first miscarriage was 20 years ago so. The majority of my pregnancies were considered advanced maternal age. I go to Dupage Medical Group and love Dr. Joseph Martin. He is wonderful. He was my doc for my last pregnancy at 40. I also had Stuart Heimburger (He’s in Wheaton though at DMG) for the Trisomy 18 pregnancy at 37. He and his wife had experienced something similar so he was very understanding and empathetic. Good luck and Sending love and light your way.  

Answer 76

I am so sorry for your loss. Know you are not alone though! After my two I saw Dr. Lawler in Downers Grove. He helped me to go on and have two healthy babies after my losses. ❤️

Answer 77

So sorry for your loss. I LOVE Naperville Women's Healthcare. I had both of my babies with them, both pregnancies were high risk. I received this recommendation from an out-of-state friend, she found the practice on her incompetent cervix group. I also saw the Maternal and Fetal medicine practice with Dr. Moran and a few other drs. Super nice.  

Answer 78

I don't have a local recommendation, but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone, and you can reach out to me if you ever need an ear. I will be thinking of you and your family, and praying for your healing during this very difficult time. ❤

Answer 79

I don't have an MFM recommendation but suggest not going to any affiliated with Loyola. They offered to medically terminate my son at 23 weeks and almost killed us both 6 weeks later when he was born not breathing

Answer 80

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you.  

Answer 81

I am so sorry! ❤️

So sorry for your loss. I had a loss in 2012 and switched to Dr Julie Jensen’s practice for my subsequent pregnancies and they were amazing. I had a lot of anxiety my other pregnancies and they were amazing. I ended up having issues delivering my third baby and Dr Jensen handled it amazing and got both the baby and I through it. If you need a high risk I liked Dr Moran- his office is at Edward.  

Answer 94

So sorry for your loss! Virtual hugs coming your way! My last pregnancy (2014) was very high risk and I absolutely adored dr Nolan-Watson out of good sams hospital! She was just amazing! I had a terrible experience at rush Copley and Edwards so researched a lot before I found her!
