What parents say

Had an induction at 38 weeks for my son due to having preeclampsia. I was very nervous being this is my first child and didn’t know what to expect. The staff was very nice, professional, and made me feel like I was in good hands. Unfortunately I ended up having two epidurals done and it didn’t work for me.

I delivered at Lake Forest Hospital 7/31/21. From start to finish, our experience was pretty smooth sailing thanks to all the staff. My OB for pregnancy was Dr. Glaser, who was helpful in so many ways.

I delivered baby number 4 in April. We are military and have had our share of hospital experiences. This was by far the best! I had a scheduled induction. From the check in lady at the front door to the guy who wheeled me to the back, everyone seemed to be happy at work that day.

★★★★☆ — Yakini, 2024-06

We recently had a C-Section delivery at Northwestern. We had to stay a few extra days so we got to know the staff/they got to know us… Overall our experience was exceptional. Very comfortable facilities and accommodations. There was a big menu and the food was surprisingly good.
