Patients benefit from coordinated care that maintains continuity with their primary provider throughout their pregnancy journey.

West Suburban Women's Health is FANTASTIC! They are so kind and really go over and beyond for there patients. I cant say enough about the Receptionists, Nursing staff, and the Doctors. I have been a Patient here for over 20 years along with several friends and family members of mine. I know they feel the same. They really listen and always do the absolute best to get me in, if I have a problem. So grateful to have found such a great office. :

I absolutely love this practice! All the doctors are amazing. Dr. Malone delivered my baby and was wonderful. I was very scared and anxious as it was my first pregnancy but she was able to calm me and talked me through every step of the delivery. I really appreciate what she did for me and will be forever grateful.

Dr. Porter is awesome! I am not an OB patient and unlike the negative comments suggesting this practice only cares about their OB patient's couldn't be farther from the truth! Dr. Porter is attentive, knowledgeable, and thorough. She listens to my concerns and gives me practical advice. I recently got a recommendation from her for another Dr. and it has helped tremendously! She's never steered me in the wrong direction. I highly recommend her to any seeking gynecological care, especially if it's your first time going! She, along with the rest of the staff, are just wonderful.

Most of the doctors at good. But One of the doctors just gave my wife and I a 15 min lecture of her opinion about the COVID vaccine. We felt bullied by her. After all that nonsense we only were able to get an ultrasound with a small hand held machine. After words they wanted us to schedule 2 ultrasounds with in two weeks(we are not a high risk pregnancy, and are told every this is "good, healthy, and normal"). Feels like a money grab!
