Dr Friedell is an amazing OBGYN. I highly recommend him to any women! Especially, those that struggle with endometriosis as I do. He takes the time to sit down and talk with you at each appointment. I never feel rushed or unimportant. You can tell he cares deeply about his patients. After an ultrasound he called me within 10 minutes to discuss. No waiting and anxiety! It’s so nice to have a doctor that is there for you! Can’t recommend enough!

I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Friedell. Dr. Friedell performed my recent surgery and everything went quite well. He is a good communicator and I felt very comfortable with him as my doctor. He also went out of his way to make sure the surgery could be done as quickly as possible and that the best medical care would be provided.

If you want your appointments to be honored (live or telemed) or to get a correct prescription called in on time, this is the place. However, some of the doctors in this practice are really great. It is the administration that falls short.

I saw Dr. Belmonte a few years back a couple times for my annual ob/gyn visit. I tried to explain the symptom I was having of painful periods and she told me as long as it wasn’t a “new symptom” (I had been experiencing it for several years at this point) then I was fine, which doesn’t make a lot sense. This is why endometriosis goes undiagnosed in women for an average of 10 years. Also Dr. Belmonte told me it was fine to take ibuprofen all day everyday for a week once a month “if it worked” for the pain (later an endoscopy showed my stomach lining was seriously damaged, likely due to the pain medication). She also was cold and impersonal. I’m so glad I ended up going elsewhere where doctors actually listened to me and believed me and helped confirm my symptoms were consistent with endometriosis.

I have been a patient of Dr Stanley Friedell after being referred by my sister who is also a patient of him. I had some issues from a few years back of severe pain during my period. I had hormonal therapy to manage the pain. After seeing Dr Friedell, we agreed that a surgery was needed because my conditions has gotten worse over the years. I was terrified because it was my first time getting a surgery. But he made sure everything was clear before the surgery showed that he really care about my wellbeing, both the women clinic staff and the nurses in the hospital were all very nice. My surgery experience a few weeks ago went really smooth, Dr Friedell and the Northwestern nurses made sure that I was not in a lot of pain and always feel comfortable throughout my hospital stay. Doctor and staff also made sure to follow up post op to make sure the recovery was going well. I would absolutely recommend Dr Friedell to anyone who needs an obgyn because he is an expert and he truly cares about his patients, you'll be in great hands!

I had what’s usually a preventable stillbirth while under their care. I believe that they missed my child was under stress on a Tuesday and by Thursday he passed away at 36 weeks. If you have even mild medical issues or think you may, I recommend you go to a large health system. For example, at this clinic they read blood pressure manually using medical assistants with what I think were questionable skillsets, leaving it to luck that the reading is accurate. These types of checks are critical as that’s what often triggers follow ups. Their equipment is generally not up to par, for example one of their two NST machines is old and always a struggle for their staff to use with me. Finally, it was my experience that this clinic did not explain and educate. My doctor was Sharon Wise. I do not recommend her, she’s dismissive, doesn’t explain things, it appeared she was not well prepared for my appointments and in my opinion, lacked common sense working knowledge of medical conditions based on questions I asked and her answers.

Dr. Friedell is such an awesome and friendly doctor. I have been his patient since 2008. He delivered my 3 children and advocated for me through breast cancer. He’s always taken the time to understand my concerns and values connecting with his patients. I am very lucky to have him as my doctor!

My experience with Dr. Friedel is always GREAT... He answers EVERY question no matter how big or small and even makes sure my significant other questions are answered... HE IS THE BEST

I was searching for a new gynecologist and found this amazing practice. I saw Dr. Morton for an issue I was having and it turned out that I needed surgery. She is understanding, thoughtful, answered all my questions without rushing and very supportive. The office and nursing staff are wonderful people, too and I always feel welcome when I walk in and treated with care and respect. She was going on maternity leave and recommended Dr. Friedell to perform my surgery. When I met Dr. Friedell for tests that had to be completed before my surgery, I immediately liked him. He was the perfect choice to take Dr. Morton's place. He explained everything to me, answered all my questions was very patient, has a sense of humor and a fantastic, skillful surgeon. On the day of my surgery, I met the team in spurts before I went in the OR and they all were very nice, knowledgeable and that helped keep me calm the whole time. My surgery was very successful and it was over in a flash. My nurse, Kat was the best she took very good care of me before I was discharged to go home. It was a very smooth process and I would highly recommend this practice and Northwestern to anyone.

I recently started seeing Dr. Fridell. He is extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. I've been to other OBGYN's in the past but he is by far the best. He is quick to respond and works around his schedule to get you in. I am excited to have found an AMAZING OBGYN and will continue to recommend him to family and friends.

In 1996, I went to see Dr. Stanley Friedell because I was told by local doctors that I would not be able to carry a child. Because of Dr. Friedell’s close monitoring during my pregnancies, I have two beautiful children. Recently, I had to undergo a hysterectomy, which I was terrified about. Dr. Friedell was very understanding and spent time with my husband and I to answer all of our questions. We were not sure at the time if it could be done robotically, which meant a large scar and longer healing time. Dr. Friedell assured us that he would do everything he could robotically before he would make a large manual incision. I am two weeks post surgery, feeling great with only five tiny scars. I was able to stop taking pain meds three days after the surgery, which indicates to me that Dr. Friedell went above and beyond to minimize any complications. I’ve trusted him for over twenty-six years, and I’m happy I made that choice!

Every time I have to go to Northwestern Women's Health Associates S. C. I am treated with respect and respect my time (if my appointment is at 2:00 I am in the room by 2:00) everyone always has a smile on their face and are so nice. I would definitely recommend Northwestern Women's Health Associates S. C. to everyone. Mary Jo D.

I had a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Dr. Friedell was professional, knowledgeable and experienced and who I would him recommend to anyone. The hospital staff was wonderful especially the night staff. I couldn’t have asked for a more complete and comprehensive approach to my health and my life.

Private practice? I’m surprised they don’t help women who’ve delivered at Northwestern. I was told they are not affiliated with the hospital. That is news to me. They don’t accept “county care” or public insurance. 🥱Hippocratic oath my a**❗️Do no harm? Well can’t be doing any good to claim to have the best care takers but won’t help unless you have an expensive insurance. I suppose this is Capitalism at best. ❗️

All the 5 stars for Dr. Aleena Lakhanpal!! She was my provider in second pregnancy and I can surely say she is very good with her patients. She always listened my issues patiently and always made sure all my doubts are cleared. Amazing bedside manners. Another praise for Dr. Morton, she delivered my first baby and I could not be more relaxed and comfortable in my delivery process. The warmth and understanding she shows with her patients is wow!! 1 star was cut because of the management, they should tell the real waiting time to patients, sometimes in my appointments I had to wait for more than 30- 45 minutes just for the vital signs check, let alone another 10-15 minutes for seeing the doctor. And, there phone number always stays busy.

I came to Dr. Friedell at the recommendation of a co worker and he is one of the most attentive doctors I know. He personally made sure I was able to schedule the appointments I needed and was quick to update with any test results. Him and his team made sure I was comfortable before and after my surgical procedure. There’s little to no delay when it comes to wait time in the office (with appointment). Overall the whole staff team is super nice and welcoming, everyone is very professional and the space is always clean and neat.

Dr. Aleena Lakhanpal is wonderful. This was my second baby that I delivered with the help of this practice. Both the times, I’ve had wonderful experience. Earlier it was Dr. Friedell but since he wasn’t taking any more new patients, I was with dr. Lakhanpal. They really know their patients well.

Review of gynecologist DR. MARC FELDSTEIN If I could give Dr. Feldstein 10 stars I would! I have had other gynecologists in the past, and they pale in comparison to Dr. Feldstein. For me it’s extremely frustrating during a doctors visit when you feel rushed, confused, uncomfortable, or leave with questions you still need clarification on. This is the polar opposite of the care you will receive with Dr. Feldstein. He is attentive - listening to every single question or concern you may have giving extremely thorough explanations that you can actually understand. During appointments I never feel rushed. Dr. Feldstein makes you feel comfortable and at ease during the visit. For me, nothing is quite as important as feeling comfortable and confident in your providers knowledge and expertise when receiving a gynecologic exam. Dr. Feldstein possess infinite knowledge, performs thorough exams, and provides unparalleled care. Not to mention he is genuinely kind and cares for his patients. It is never a hassle to get an appointment and the receptionists and nurses are all very professional. Dr. Feldstein, I can honestly say, is the best doctor I have ever encountered and I am a patient of his for life. If you’re in need of a gynecologist or want to switch gynecologists I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Feldstein. You will not be disappointed in the care you will receive!

Dr. Feldstein is always very kind and accommodating. He also allows plenty of time to discuss any concerns- I've never felt rushed. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely superior patient care! I have had the pleasure of being in Dr. Friedell’s care for several years. I recently needed to have surgery and was so grateful to have him as my physician and surgeon. He is affable. kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond to provide his patients with the utmost level of care. He called me multiple times after hours to provide test results and answer questions about my procedure. Thank you Dr. Friedell and team – you are best-in-class and made my surgery and recovery as easy as possible!

NWHA: Stanley Friedell, MD -- Northwestern Medicine recommended NWHA-Stanley Fridell, MD in June 2022, in particular Stanley Friedell, MD. Dr. Friedell reviewed my concerns and addressed them after careful due diligence. August 2022 Dr. Friedell completed the recommended outpatient procedure, and concerns were addressed accordingly. From first-hand experience, I highly recommend Dr. Friedell and his practice to patients seeking immediate, one-on-one, personable health care. All of my encounters with NWHA and Dr. Friedell have been positive. NWHA is very busy and attentive to patients, on-site, remotely, and at the surgical facility. Dr. Friedell has an excellent team of physicians representing him and his practice to the highest standards of care. Like all other offices, schedules can overlap and appointments can be delayed to due unforeseen circumstances. This is the nature of the business. I appreciate Dr. Friedell for his personal touch including follow-up phone calls. Dr. Friedell has an excellent bedside manner and truly loves being a physician. He admits he enjoys performing surgeries. Patients come first and only surgeries when necessary. Dr. Friedell even has a funny side (hence our Sarai conversation in the office). The NWHA facility is friendly and all personnel enjoys working with the physicians, and each other and take great pride in their work. NWHA: Stanley Friedell, MD comes and is highly recommended.

Dr.Friedell is a caring, attentive and knowledgeable doctor. I've been a patient of his for over 10 years; through two pregnancies and a recent hysterectomy. He always takes the time to explain all my options to me and listen to my concerns. My surgery was smooth, and I feel well taken care of by Dr.Friedell and his staff.

Dr. Stanley Friedell is an excellent doctor He's confident, smart, and diligent, he cares tremendously about his patients and their well-being. He always calls back and follow up no matter how busy he is. Dr Friedell recommended I get a diagnostic mammogram that saved my life. The office staff are friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable, the location is a walking distant from the train line. I highly recommend Dr Stanley, the staff, and the clinic for new patients.

I had a surprise medical issue two days before I went on vacation. Dr. Fridell was able to fit me in the next day and gave me the fastest, high quality care. He worked around the clock to ensure I was able to go on my trip, which I was able to. Once I returned, we had all my appointments scheduled so I could receive the best follow up care. If you’re ever in a pinch or looking for a doctor who truly cares about your health/life events, go to Dr. Fridell and his team at Northwestern.

Dr Stanley Friedell has been my Ob-Gyn for over 20 years. He was my quarterback during my breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. He pointed me to my surgeon and my oncologist. They were excellent referrals. Recently, I had to have a robot assisted hysterectomy. I came home with no pain. Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Friedell and his team!

Dr. Friedell delivered all 3 of my kids and has been my primary doctor for the past 20 years. His office and nursing staff are excellent and the office is well managed. He’s accessible and responsive to emails when I’ve needed guidance or a referral. He’s also really professional and respectful. I always feel comfortable asking questions and trust him to provide the highest level of care and provide the information I need to make informed health decisions.

I've been a patient of Dr. Friedell for 17 years now. I've always appreciated his bedside manner. He is very thorough, patient, and listens to all of my questions or concerns. He delivered both of my children (16 & 12) and I would highly recommend him. Additionally, I appreciate the staff at Northwestern Women's Health Associates. They are all nice and helpful as well.

Dr. Friedell is EXCELLENT! I searched for THE BEST OB/GYN in Chicago and suburbs for sometime now and after reading his reviews and credentials, I decided to make an appointment to see him as a new patient. He EXCEEDED my expectations and I am very grateful that he took the time to review my records, consult with me on my health concerns and provide his honest, candid and thoughtful opinions and directions on moving forward. My situation was a bit more complex and I had concerns/unanswered questions and some uncertainty after consulting with another Dr. and having multiple procedures. I was encouraged to get a second opinion as to the best treatment for my health issues moving forward. I am so glad that I did! Dr Friedell is the BEST and any woman reading this that is wondering who to see for an OB/GYN, book your appointment with him!! Also, big shout out the the kind and helpful ladies at the front desk, the kind nurse, the lovely ladies in the lab and the awesome ultra sound tech! They were so kind, helpful and happy! This is a testament to a great office and working environment when every interaction with the staff is pleasant and joyful. Thank you Dr. Friedell for taking the time to meet with me, I’ll be seeing you soon! 😊

I really can’t speak more highly of my experience with Dr. Friedell and this practice. He has been my doctor for the past 8 years. I had two smooth pregnancies and felt I was in the most capable hands. I felt comfortable, informed, and as ready as I could be at each labor and delivery. Before having my son, I also suffered a miscarriage, and Dr. Friedell was calm, compassionate, and made himself available to answer any questions I had. Dr. Brunengraber delivered my son—she was phenomenal. Dr. Lakhanpal was on call for my daughter’s birth. I had a minor complication with delivery but she took great care of me and I recovered without issue.

Dr. Freidell was my OB for both of my pregnancies and I still see him now. He has been in the field for a long time and is extremely knowledgeable. He has a great bedside manner and is very kind. I highly recommend him and this practice.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Abbie Roth’s for a very long time and trust her and her partners to provide the best care possible to me as their patient. When my symptoms and condition became a bit more complex and called for surgery, I was referred to Dr Friedell to discuss my options. I was given all the time and space I needed to consult and consider other doctors. At the end of the day I opted to come back to NW Women’s Health and to work with Dr. Friedell. I was impressed with how prepared he was when we first met, clearly having studied my history and concerns. He spent time answering my questions and never rushed me during our appointment. He told me his job was to keep me out of trouble…and that he did! He visited me personally at the hospital for post op care and called me once I was home. I really appreciate the attention and care Dr Friedell gave me. It made everything else easier. He is knowledgeable and I’d recommend him and the rest of the practice without reservation.
