I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this place is awful! To get in to seeing a Doctor is at least month and that’s if you are planning to see the same one. Although if you want to see a random one they will squeeze you in, but let’s get serious every doctor has a different method for treating its patients and what one recommends may not be what another does. Regardless, expect to be there for long periods of time, because they are rarely in and out or on time. Oh and if you are just coming in for a lab test such as a urine test and someone other than the OB/​GYN sees you, they will bill your insurance as if the OB/​GYN saw you, so expect to see that on your bill. Which leads to my next point.
If you have chronic problems or are dealing with side effects to meds, go somewhere else because they will be the first to take your money and what the insurance will pay them, but the last to help you get to the bottom of it. They will run tests you don’t need and come up with excuses just to bill your insurance more. In the end, they will put you on a med to keep your mouth shut, but rest assured, you’ll be back because there is no quick solution to your problem unless the dollar sign fits, which leads to my next point.
Their nurses know very little about anything. In fact they are more like Medical Assistants who passed a test to be an RN. Whenever I called in to check on labs, they would read them and when I asked them to explain something, they didn’t know what it was saying. Sometimes I wondered why they didn’t google it just for the sake of my sanity or hey here’s an idea ask the doc and get back to me. I mean really? How do you work for an OB/​GYN and not know what some of these results are or at least how do not care to know for the sake of the patient? Which leads to my next one.
These people have no sense of communication skills with each other. No matter how many times I came in, they never documented things I told them which had me always repeating info and starting at ground zero. Oh and if you need them communicating with another physician, or sending your results to another physician, good luck because they rarely ever did it. They also didn’t understand how important other physician’s getting that info was to me. Which then leads to my next point.
I addressed these matters with multiple people as far as my experiences and while they claimed to care, nothing ever changed with them.
Needless say after the experiences I received here, I will never ever go back to them. It’s just sad because from what I hear the owner is amazing & has a passion for women’s health, too bad the rest of her staff doesn’t.

We saw Dr Michelle L. Worst experience ever. Just a physical check up ended up heart problem according to them. She prescribed A Medicine Which Screwed Up My Wife’s Heart beat. Upon asking she wouldn’t agree. Took another appointment but with Dr Gibson, as Dr Michelle Was out, instead of checking up she referred us to a Heart surgeon. Oh my god, my wife was normal, it was the medicine (which was not even required) which created the problem, that Dr Michelle L. Prescribed and which Dr Linda Gibson could not figure out. From then we are done with this worthless group of doctors. I would give it negative 5 stars.

Dr Anderson is fabulous — have to wait forever to get in as a new patient, but then she spends a full hour with you! Not a pharma pusher either — I have a fairly complex physical condition and she balances a commitment to western medicine with a conservative, common sense approach to wellness. Super impressed, and looking forward to next steps.

Went for my initial group meeting/​seminar to learn about the Ideal Protein weight loss method. The seminar is helpful, and we could sample various foods that are included on the program. Had the opportunity to meet the coaches, Suzanne and Tammy. Got enough information at this seminar to encourage me to sign on with the program. Looking forward to working with this program.

I’m confident that I’m on the right road to recovery with Karen Hanson’s protocol and I’ll tell you, that has a healing affect in itself.

In the last month I have been in about 8 times for blood work and ultrasounds. Everyone is very courteous and kind. Great experience every time. I recommend this office to everyone I know and will continue to do so! Thanks everyone!

Dr. Luthringshausen is a skilled, caring, and thoughtful Dr. and I highly recommend her. She performed DaVinci surgery on me, and it was a very positive experience. All the pain I have been experiencing is gone, and I am grateful Dr. Luthringshausen was able to perform this surgery. She is knowledgable, energetic, upbeat and a very good listener. If you need any type of gynecological services — choose Dr. Michelle!

Worst doctors office I have ever been to. My appointment was at 12:20 and at 1:20 I was still sitting in the waiting room. No staff informed me that the doctor wad running late or apologized for the wait. Needless to say I will not be returning as they have no respect for your time.

Great OB visit today! Have met all the doctors in the practice and I’m very happy thus far. Palatine location is updated and very modern. Technology is up to date and I never have to wait long for my appts. Have had emergency situations and have always been able to reach out to WC in both Palatine and Woodfield location. Love Dr Parra great bedside manner!

I love my weekly visits to see Suzanne, my weight consultant, for the «My Ideal Protein» lifestyle diet program. She is amazing and I just adore her! Everyone at WomanCare is friendly and professional. Looking for an excellent place for all your lady health needs, give WomanCare a call.

very happy there

This place rocks! I have been a patient here for over six years, during a critical six years, I might add. They take such great care of the whole person. Karen Hansen is a dynamo, on the cutting edge of medical research and a sleuth. She will work so hard to get you and keep you at optimum health. She has given me hope in feeling great again. Being a woman is a complex and delicate thing and at this practice they really seem to «get it». They have great hours and great locations too. If you have issues of any kind, Run! Don’t walk. They have you covered!

The worst gynecologist. Those doctor have no idea when to check. Dont see dr. Michelle, she draw your money constantly. She asked to check for blood test without fasting and without checking your period scheduled. Turned out all the test result were bad. I dont think she knows what she’s doing. She wants to prescribed unnecessary medicine. Dont see her!!!

Dr. Luthringshausen and all the staff at Woman Care are awesome! I started coming here about 3 months ago and already know many of them by name. I had been having some lady issues, went in for a checkup, found out the actual issues, got everything fixed, and am now on the mend. The wait times are quick, the staff friendly, professional and competent, and everyone is very responsive. I highly recommend Woman Care.

I’ve been coming here for years Dr. Anderson is wonderful. It’s hard to make an appointment with her under short notice. I also highly recommend Linda, she’s great!

This is my OBGYN office. She was referred by a blogger. I’ve been coming here for two years. She’s helping me with my PCOS issues. I really like Dr. Anderson and her staff. The staff are nice as well and they have a bowl of dark chocolate kisses for the patients, it’s like a mint after your meal!
However, the wait and getting in is a challenge… yeah cause she’s that good!
Positive and optimistic which I like. She’s also a huger when she leaves. It’s so nice cause giving a hug is therapy for the soul, ya know. She also gave me her cell phone number if I have any other questions or concerns during my visits with her. Now come on! Not a lot of doctors would do that! Do they?
Her office is like a little house, the waiting room looks like someone’s family room with a fire place. They have most current magazines all over the place, even i the waiting room if you end up «waiting». They also have a coffee station for you to get a cup of joe if you need it.
It’s best to make an appointment first thing in the AM or take a longer lunch hour cause she gets that busy.
For out of pocket payments, they can help you for that as well.
If you want to see your test results, you can call or go on the internet to see if they didn’t call you back for a followup.
I’ve seen the nurse practitioner as well which is fine, but I will make myself available just to see Dr. Anderson!
