If you are considering this group for the delivery of your baby, then PLEASE take my advise and go elsewhere. I used this group for the care and delivery of my first child and I will regret it for the rest of my life. \r
After a smooth sailing and easy nine months, it was discovered in my 39th week that my baby was breech. Instead of scheduling a c-section, I was told by this group that my baby could still turn and I would be able to deliver naturally. I was 10 days past my due date and miserable when I went into labor on a Saturday morning. It became apparent that the doctors in this group did not like to work weekends. I contacted them after my contractions started and they sent me to the hospital. The hospital staff sent me home because I was only dialated to a 3. Keep in mind, I never saw a doctor from this group. The next day (16 hours later) I went back to the hospital. Again, I never saw a doctor. Finally after almost 40 hours in labor, my water broke and it was green. Finally, I saw a doctor about 15 minutes before I went into an emergency c-section. \r

Our son was born at 1:49 am and he never cried once. He never cried because his lungs were filled with meconium ( a baby's first bowel movement). We were told later that the stress of him turning around in the womb at such a large size (8 lbs) caused him to have a bowel movement. We were also told that he had been sitting in his bowel movement for several days (this group let me go 10 days past my due date). There was no air going into his lungs. He was hooked up to several air tubes and large cuts were put in the sides of his body to allow fluid and meconium to drain from his lungs. Our baby spent 2 months at the University of Chicago and barely escaped death. He will now have breathing problems for the rest of his life. Not once did anyone from this group call to see if my child was okay or had even survived. If you want good care for your baby - DON NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS GROUP!\r

Pros: Nice office.
Cons: This group is all about numbers, not personal care.
