This place is amazing. As a first time mom, everything makes me nervous. They make me feel so much better and allow me to be reassured. And never make me feel crazy haha. They are extremely supportive. I truly couldn't imagine going anywhere else. read more

If you're not already a patient of North Shore Associates Gynecology | Obstetrics | Midwifery - SWITCH NOW! 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! read more

I delivered my first baby with Dr Saleh, and I was incredibly impressed by him and this office. I feel very blessed to have found him and had the pleasure of being his patient. From the very first appointment, I was impressed. Despite having a thriving practice, he is easy to schedule appointments with and he and his office are very responsive. The nurses that work with him are empathetic, smart, and provide timely responses with helpful information. I came to him around month 4 after having a very bad experience with another practice-- I had a difficult time being seen by the same doctor consistently. Here, I saw Dr Saleh each visit. His approach to medicine is refreshing-- he provides common sense guidance and isn't too reactive (nor too lax). While I was in labor, he was an excellent coach-- he understood what type of motivation I needed and was there every step of the way. He proactively took steps to help avoid and minimize tearing without me asking for that assistance. My husband was involved every step of the way, and Dr Saleh was great at engaging him and including him throughout the birthing process. My thanks to Dr Saleh and his entire office!! I don't love visiting doctors, but I actually looked forward to seeing him and the nurses and staff that work with him throughout this process. read more

I can't say enough about the midwives at North Shore Associates! I felt so heard and respected at each prenatal appointment and my birth plan was completely honored during delivery, no questions asked. The midwives even advocated and fought to bring doulas back in the hospital and I was fortunate enough to have mine with me for the birth of my baby girl. I attribute my health and wellness in addition to my baby's health in large part to the care & education I received from the midwives and my doula. I can't imagine going anywhere else when we hopefully get to expand our family in the future. read more

Multiple terrible experiences here. From the rude and unhelpful staff and nurses, to the perennially late Dr. Johnson, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It wasn't until I left this office and found another that I realized the gynecological experience didn't have to be unpleasant. Dr. Johnson was not a gentle doctor in general, and never even offered a lower waist cover for added comfortability during the actual exam. read more

My wife just delivered our newest addition via the team at NSAGO and the 312 Doulas. My bride had wanted to deliver naturally with our first child but was unable to achieve that goal. I had never seen how supportive midwives could be previously to yesterday but can now say that the team from NSAGO were amazing. We had two different midwives due to the timing (splitting shifts) and activity (23 babies!!) at NorthShore-Evanston and they were both supportive and professional. I don't think my wife could have achieved her goal with out the support of her full team In delivering a super healthy 8 pound baby boy naturally. Thank you all so much!! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Jen Jaume for a routine annual visit. She has a very calming demeanor and has a way of relieving stress and anxiety. She is a great listener and very easy to talk to and open up to. She is very personable and kind and took quite a lot of time in asking me questions and answering all of mine. Jen talked with me and explained everything she needed to do during the exam. She never made me feel rushed. I thank her. And I'm happy she is a part of North Shore. I look forward to visiting her again next year. The nurse Diane was nice as well and thorough with my medical history. read more

I recently had baby 2 with the midwives. I chose this practice after a friend recommended them for their VBAC friendliness. (I knew I was a good candidate but I wanted providers who'd support me as long as my VBAC was viable). I was very nervous at my first appointment. But eventually I landed up building a wonderful rapport with my usual midwives, Barb, and Deb (who were incidentally the two people who supported me during labor!). The others whom I saw once were also wonderful--supportive, cognizant of all my questions and doubts and very encouraging of my VBAC hopes. Anyway, fast forward to 40 weeks and I wasn't in labor yet. The midwives, however, were very patient, telling me we weren't in a rush to induce until 42 weeks. Even when I felt horrendously impatient, they weren't. My water broke a few days later and I had a LONG labor with pitocin (because my contractions didn't come on naturally). They were encouraging and positive even when I felt defeated about not progressing; in fact they let me labor as long as I could without a cervical check. I was sobbing through my epidural (which I was initially hoping to avoid) after 24 hours of pitocin and no eating and sheer exhaustion, and Barb rubbed my back and was holding me through it all. She was not just comfortable but supportive with me changing my pain management plan on the spot and was very patient as it took me another six hours to dilate and then 3 hours to push my baby out. (Oh and even when I was stalling during pushing, I heard only positive words; in fact, the only time I got really nervous was after the team was discussing the possibility of forceps with us). So yes! These women are amazing. This experience was empowering AND at the same time evidence-based and positive throughout. I would have more children just to work with these lovely ladies, really! I will cherish this experience all my life. (Posting under my other name but they know who I am!) read more

This practice is amazing. 2 kids, incredible experiences. The following midwives caught or been a huge part of my births: Gaye Koconis and Barbara Zimmerman. I was able to push extensively with my 1st, something that no other place would have let me do and I was able to have a more "natural birth" with her. I was really scared that I would "rip", but with all the instruction and Gaye applying some liquid, after 6 hours of pushing, I had no ripping, no vacuum, no forceps and no c-section. My daughter came out, got stuck and they had her out within seconds. With my 2nd it had to be a c-section due to his size and some other factors, plus the 1st got stuck. But I wanted to try some natural stuff at first and I got to do that. Then Dr. Saleh came in, saw me, had a fetal monitor brought up and saw that the baby was over 9.5 oz. We all agreed to a c-section and I was very scared. However, It was the best experience. I asked for something to calm me right before the surgery and the fear went away. I felt no pain but was completely lucid. The midwife kept me calm and even sang me a song. My husband was there and Dr. Saleh was incredible, both with my surgery and our baby's circumcision. I recovered really fast, very minimal pain and was even able to breastfeed mere hours after surgery. The incision is tiny and healed up fast. Everyone in this group and evanston hospital were incredible. I am so happy I went with this team! read more

I've been going here for almost 10 years. I love this office. Dr Johnson is such a gentle knowledgeable and sweet doctor. I do not have any kids but the staff is also just as wonderfully helpful. If they are in network this office is worth it. read more

I've seen Dr. Goldberg at this location for 10 years and she's the best. Don't want to get into personal details so I'll leave it at that. I've since moved to Chicago and still commute out to Glenview to see her, so hopefully that says something! read more

I only came to this place because I wanted to have a vba2c & I had heard that they were supposedly supportive of this. It ended up being a total waste of my time. 1st impressions are lasting impressions for me & my 1st one wasn't a good one here & I should of ended it then, but I decided to make a 2nd appt. At my first visit, the front desk seemed clueless about my ins and overall things just seemed very disorganized with lots of waiting. I also got perv vibes from Dr Selah. Very awkward. I went to my 2nd appt only to find out that a vbac wasn't recommended for me. Although after doing a little research, I found out differently. If that was their final decision, they could of reached out to me to let me know this BEFORE my appt so I wouldnt of wasted my time coming. I saw a midwife named Mary who seemed very uninterested. I guess after realizing I was a lowly c section patient, she didnt want to deal with me. She even asked me if I wanted her to check the baby's heartbeat. Well duh? She barely listened and it didnt even sound like she found the baby's heartbeat whatsoever. I have a doppler at home, so I know what it does/doesn't sound like. She just didnt care. BtW, I had already had 4 successful vbacs after my initial c section and 2 vaginal births before that, so I should of been a perfect candidate. I would NOT recommend this place at all. read more
