NW Obstetrics & Gynecological Associates

To the negative reviews, crazy! I had two girls delivered and yes office sometimes not perfect but… First one was delivered by Dr Cushing and very sad that she left. I started seeing Dr LaBarge first and she can be a little harsh. I didn’t like how she knew my due date and waited until last visits to say she would be out of town. I had seen all doctors and no big deal. Dr Cushing was great. Second pregnancies saw male Doctors Grabiner and Scarimbolo more. Both awesome! Dr Scarimbolo delivered my second girl. Nurse Ann is the best! Yes busy office but they moved this year to Northwest Highway east of St Paul of the Cross. Gigantic office with gigantic waiting area. Much better! Great overall.

People, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THIS FACILITY:
If ZERO stars were possible, this office would get that vote! A good friend of mine was a patient of this office while she was pregnant. Without going into full detail, she is now paralyzed due to their negligence! They (mainly Dr. Labarge, but Scarambolo too) refused to give her ANY tests when complaints began of severe back pain during her pregnancy. Several times they told her she was just a crabby pregnant lady, and they sent her on her way. This continued for months, until she woke up one morning and could feel nothing from the chest on down to her feet. Emergency surgery couldn’t repair the damage done, and she will probably never walk again. All because they REFUSED to conduct any tests on her whatsoever!
*The surgeon stated that this could have been 100% avoided if they just ran a simple blood test. For MONTHS they absolutely refused her any treatment, and claimed it was pains of labor.
This is just one, though the worst, of terrible experiences people I know have had at this practice!
The reviewer above (NP) has no idea how right she was when her review says, «run, not walk, away from this practice.»
Please care more about yourself, and possibly your baby than to visit this office!

Dr. Scarimbolo delivered our little one earlier this year. I absolutely trust his judgment. He’s no-​nonsense, practical, and direct. Sometimes BGP were required.
We’ve been with the practice for over a year. They recently moved offices, and now are located close to the Park Ridge village on Northwest Highway. A HUGE improvement on the old place — it’s a labyrinth, but a modern and clean-​smelling labyrinth.
Pros:
— They have a lactation consultant on staff.
— They deliver at Lutheran General (and Resurrection).
— There are four doctors, so you get a chance to meet everyone at least a couple of times during pregnancy.
— The ultrasound and 4-​D scans are on site (at least at the old location).
— We had a ton of insurance bills. The office staff got it 100% right and was easy to deal with when I had questions.
— The wait times were usually good. Ironically my last appointment ran 45 minutes late.
Cons:
— An assistant gave my five month pregnant self a pregnancy test. We got quite a giggle when she excitedly announced the great news.
— We gelled with three out of the four doctors. I actually checked the on-​call roster… so that there was no chance the fourth would catch our little one. Not hugely defective, just didn’t share our right to try without pain meds.
— They email a survey that requires personal information to complete — each time you visit a new doctor (plus reminders, equals quite a few emails). I’m willing to complete a survey anonymously.
Overall, a good group of people who I’ve recommended to others.

Dr Dickerson has a great bedside manner and will give you reliable information and is easy to talk to.
The office is a very large suite in a very oddly 50’s style building located at Talcott and Canfield. It does smell like a dentist office when you walk in the building, but its been doctors and dentist office since the building first was built.
The lady Cathy at the desk is very nice too. Great place to have to come once a year. They did submit everything to my insurance properly so I didnt have any issues. Great overall experience.

OK, what woman likes to go to the hooha doctor? Not me, but Dr. LaBarge and her staff are excellent! Very professional while still caring and understanding. I feel so much better after seeing them all. I can ask questions (of the doctor or her nurses) and get an honest, down to earth, no holds-​barred answer. They tell it like it is and get right to the point! I love being treated like an adult, even if I don’t like what they’re telling me. Thank you!
I checked the box that says by appointment only but from my experience, if you need to see the doctor, they’ll get you in as quick as possible.
