At the time of our baby's birth I (mom) was 41 years of age and the dad's sperm was 39 years old. North Shore Fertility's office staff are just as kind, dependable, and understanding too. When we went to North Shore Fertility we had already been to other fertility practices without success. They made our baby dreams possible. Thank you North Shore Fertility!

I was a patient at this office and Dr. Mark Sibul's patient for over 20 years. We went through a…read morelot together. He was so kind and spent time with me. Went through fertility and I thought that we had a pretty good relationship. He'd always always late. I was used to it so I would always call to see how late. He never called people back. I got used to that too. I had an issue that wouldn't go away. I called and nothing. Called again nothing. He never called me. I needed to talk to a dr so I ended up calling after hours and another Dr. called me. We had a great conversation and the next day I called to cancel my next appointment with Sibul and made an appointment with the woman that I spoke to. Well a few days after that the Dr. that I spoke with called me and explained that I could not see her as a patient as I am already a patient of Dr. Sibul. WHAT?? Crazy. So the appointment was cancelled and then 3 weeks later I GOT A BILL FOR $50,00 A NO SHOW FEE!!! Called Dayna the office manager and guess what. She never called me back either. It was kinda sad about the whole thing.

Summary - Terrible experience with Dr. Sibul and staff in the Chicago office. Doctor was…read moreunresponsive, uncaring, and disorganized. Very difficult to reach office staff or get important results. Found staff to be unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude. Please save yourself the frustration of dealing with this doctor's office and go somewhere else.  Specifics - I've never written a negative review in my life, let alone for a doctor, but I hoped to share an honest account of my experience in case it helps others. I chose Dr. Sibul due to his impressive credentials and positive reviews. At first, I liked Dr. Sibul, but over time the experience of being his patient took its toll on me. Specifically, he did not give clear instructions on plans of care (ex - how to take certain medications), was impossible to reach, and did not call back with important results. While he was generally pleasant during office visits, his disorganized behavior and lack of communication suggested that he did not care for me as a patient. The office has no MyChart and callbacks can take weeks, so it's very difficult to reach a nurse/doctor and get lab results or directions on care. Some of the nurses/staff were very unprofessional and rude. The office has paper thin walls, so you can basically hear every conversation - between staff, between doctors/patients, etc. which made it seem like there was no privacy. The staff was unhelpful in the sense that you constantly had to be on top of them to get things done. Often, things would fall through the cracks, like referrals for procedures that were never sent or issues with insurance due to mistakes from the doctor's office.  I take no pleasure in writing this review because I really respect health care workers. Yet, truly, I cried many tears due to this office. My only hope in writing this review is that it helps others receive the care they deserve. Being sick or pregnant is challenging enough without the added stress of dealing with this nonsense.

Throughout my whole pregnancy, I saw each midwife that was working there and I left feeling empowered and cared for every single time. These women are so supportive, patient and professional. I always felt listened to and validated, so I was able to go into labor knowing that whichever midwife was working, they would do everything they could to stick to my end goal and get my baby out safely. Jordan ended up being the midwife who delivered my baby boy at Evanston Hospital and Im so thankful for her. I will 1000% be returning to this practice for any possible future pregnancies.

She is such a joy to go to and I can trust her to make the necessary adjustments to align my body. She is always so positive and I can't recommend her enough. Treatment usually also involves stim and ultrasound (they use bio freeze for the ultrasound and it's like a mini massage.. my favorite). Ive read some of the other reviews and do think that maybe one of the assistants that work there are not my favorite (not terrible but not over the top friendly if that's what you're expecting.. except dr Shannon haha she is definitely so smiley and friendly ) but overall the staff is pleasant and personable.

Even though at that time, not sure if that has change, she was not accepting new patients, she still took me in as a new patient. For the last 8 years she has had the same nurse (Linda) who is wonderful and still to this day remembers my mom, even though my mom moved out of state a few years back. You may have to wait to see her and her office hours are not the most convinient, but she is worth it! And FYI for any OB patients, my mom had an ER c-section, and she was calm and professional the whole time, and she stitched my mom up by hand! Trust me; I saw it with my own eyes! Find me an OB that still does that and not nasty staple! I worked all of college for a large OB/GYNE group and they used staples and even though I worked there over 4 years, I wouldn't trade my doctor for any of them! Oh and she is out of ENH hospital and Evanston is a GREAT hospital!

My family recently reached out to Lactation Partners seeking urgent breastfeeding support for our…read morenewborn twins during a difficult postpartum moment. We live on the South Side of Chicago, near South loop and were hoping to schedule a consultation. The response we received stated that they "do not travel to our location in any case" and that their schedule was booked for the next two weeks. While I understand providers have service limits and busy schedules, the wording felt abrupt and lacking empathy given the circumstances. It was also confusing because Yelp's service map suggests coverage across Chicago, which gave us the impression South Side families were included. "South Chicago" is a large and diverse part of the city with many middle-class families simply looking for postpartum support. I'm sharing this so other South Side parents know this provider may not service this area when urgently searching for help. I hope the practice considers clarifying their service area and responding to families with more compassion during vulnerable moments.

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!
