Dr. Clear treated me with genuine compassion and care. She took the time to hear me, validate my concerns, and come up with a plan from the very first moment. She came across as knowledgeable and evidence based without being overly technical. The only time she seemed even remotely worried was when I told her about how mistreated and ignored I had been in the past with other doctors. Dare I say, I'm almost excited to go back for my next appointment.

Dr. Clear is wonderful. She’s kind, patient and really listens. I wish all of my doctors were like her. She’s very calming.

Talk about a change of pace! Dr. Clear has a wonderful bedside manner. She makes you feel heard and important. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. LGBTQIA+ ally. I'm shaking my head at my wonderful treatment. Can't recommend her enough! Go! However, I did wait over 45 minutes. The reception staff could use a little juice to bring them back to life.

I was so sad when my other doctor decided to retire. Dr. Susan Warner was recommended to me by my primary physician. I can't thank her enough. I find that Dr. Warner is kind and I find it is so very easy to share concerns with her. She is not only attentive, but best of all gentle.

The wait time in the waiting room as well as in the examining room was not long at all. Nurse Monica was very pleasant. Dr. Kim took time to explain the procedure and made me feel comfortable. Overall great experience. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Warners for 2+ decades. She is a warm and caring doctor. She answers any questions I have and takes the time to explain pros and cons of various treatments. Her staff is also very competent and they manage the patient flow very efficiently.

Highly recommend. I've seen her half a dozen times now. Dr Warner is a real pro. She is very focused on what the patient needs, communicates well and up-to-date.

I originally had a very positive view of Midwest Center for Women’s Health and Dr. Clear until I began following with the Evanston clinic during the pregnancy. For issues outside of pregnancy , I greatly appreciated Dr. Clear’s bedside manner . She was very kind and responsive and seems to genuinely care about her patients which is hard to find in an obgyn. However, at 29 weeks of pregnancy, I decided to seek care elsewhere. The reason why was because after learning my baby was frank breech at my 29 week ultrasound, I asked the physician about vaginal breech birth. A vaginal breech birth was important to me because my husband and I wanted to have a large family and Caesarian section is associated with increased risk of placental abnormalities in subsequent pregnancies and also an increased risk of severe maternal morbidity (SMM). Furthermore, breech vaginal birth is actually safely performed in many countries and is not associated with a huge increase in perinatal mortality (according to RCOG perinatal mortality for a vaginal cephalic birth is 1/1000 where perinatal mortality is 2/1000 for a vaginal breech birth). When I discussed my concerns and findings with Dr. Clear, she shared outdated information about vaginal breech birth based on the findings of the Term Breech Trial . Sadly many obstetricians fail to recognize the flaws in this trial and neglect to look at newer research demonstrating that if a provider is trained in vaginal breech birth, it can be done safely and at less risk to the mother. When I asked her for a referral to a provider who can perform vaginal breech birth after expressing my concerns based on the current research, she didn’t seem supportive and simply said “I am sorry for ruining your birth plan.” Her comment was very frustrating because this wasn’t about a birth plan preference, this was about ensuring I got evidenced-based care and could hopefully avoid increased health risks in subsequent pregnancies given that my husband and I wanted a large family. In additional before we left, my husband asked about the baby’s growth and if he was growing well. The doctor was quick to point out the baby’s head was in the 90th percentile and pointed out I was petite as if to suggest that the baby wouldn’t fit out of me anyway so I should just accept the cesarean section (the baby actually ended up being a very normal 3000g and fit perfectly through my pelvis but her comment made me constantly question my body’s ability to birth throughout my pregnancy and made me very anxious) . I ended up contacting an organization called Breech Without Borders which educates providers about breech vaginal birth and provides training. They are a reputable organization and have even just performed training for OB residents at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I learned that the organization had trained all CNMs, OBs, and OB residents at Aurora Sinai Hospital in Milwaukee, WI. I transferred my care there and ultimately had an uncomplicated vaginal breech birth at 38 weeks. My baby was born healthy with a nearly perfect Apgar score and I was so grateful I avoided a cesarean section . Also he fit just perfectly out of my pelvis and I was not at all “too petite” for him to get out safely. Honestly if you want evidenced based and holistic care , I recommend going to the midwife group at Aurora Sinai in Milwaukee . If you have to stay in Chicago , please advocate for yourself. So many OBs are not up to date on current research and neglect to provide women with true informed consent . Because of this , so many women have unneeded interventions and even unnecessary cesarean sections .
