a GOOD doctor in Illinois

Anyone know of any GOOD PCOS doctors in Illinois? One I can feel comfortable with? I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. I have United Health Care PPO.

I go to a doctor that is out of Gurnee they have a office in Crystal Lake too, Dr Nani and also Dr Sherbahn. My cousin went to Rockford and saw Dr Sawetawan, and my sister went to Dr Jacobs in Buffalo Grove and I think he has an office in Glen View. These doctors are all great we all just live in diffrent areas and had to go to diffrent doctors. My cousin & sister both got Pg and now have healthy sons. I am still on the TTC wagon!! Not sure if any of these areas are close to you but good luck!!

tntsgirl,
Thank you for all the recommendations. I live about 20 min. from Buffalo Grove and work near Gurness, so hopefully one will cover under my insurance. These are all reproductive endocrinologists I'm assuming?

I made an appt. with Dr. Randy Morris in Naperville. He was recommended under this forum. Anyone have any experience with him? I don't have an appt. until February, though!

AT - You will love Dr. Morris! I've been going to him since September, and he is the nicest, most understanding person I have met while on the road of dealing w/ PCOS. I'm in the SW burbs, but I honestly don't mind the drive for once a month blood tests...I'm not ttc, but Dr. Morris does realize that there is other stuff to PCOS besides having children. I've been on actos since I've been going to him, and (except for one month that things were just insane in my world) I've ovulated and af has come on her own...

He has a website, www.ivf1.com that you should check out when you have a chance. Hope this helps...feel free to email or pm me if you want to chat!

Thanks for the info. on Dr. Morris! I really look forward to seeing him! This will be the 3rd RE I've seen and I hope the 3rd time is the charm! I'm not necessarily looking to have a baby now, but I want to get this PCOS under control! I eventually do want children and if I go get pregnant as I'm dealing with this, all the better!

AT- I have been seeing Dr Morris for almost 2 years now. You are going to love him. Believe me, he is worth the wait. He really listens & understands. We are not TTC right nowbut he is still treating me. It has been a long road to find a dr who is still interested in helping you after they find out there is not a pregnancy in the near future. Good luck with your appointment!
Email me if you need any questions answered!

Well, actaully I saw Dr. Morris today. I wasn't supposed to until the 7th of next month, but they had a cancelation. I LOVE HIM!!!!!! HE IS WONDERFUL!!! he took so many blood tests today and did an ultrasound and we have a game plan and a few other tests planned for the future. He's going to help me treat the PCOS and help us TTC soon!!!! I told him he came highly recommended and now I know why!

Good luck with your treatment!

I'm glad to hear you all love him. I have an appointment with him on March 15th. I can't wait to hear what he has to say. And I can't wait for him to run tests. I'm interested in knowing how bad my PCOS really is.
