John McInerney, DO

Dr. Mac is so amazing. He delivered both my babies and has seen me through my pain over the years with my PCOS. He is very thorough and I trust him 100%! Nurse Susie is great as well! Arlene has excellent people skills and makes me feel so comfortable! Jenny at the front desk is amazing and of course Cabrini is the best! Such a great staff. Wait times are a little long and sometimes it’s hard to get a close appointment, but overall, I always recommend him!

I saw Susie, the nurse practitioner. She is great! She is so friendly and very thorough. I went for my annual examination and it was quick and painless. So glad I chose to go to Dr. McInerney’s office (I just moved and had to pick all new doctors).

«Is there an appointment for today? I have an emergency.»
«Are you a current patient?»
«No, I’m from out of town, but I need to see an OB/​GYN. It’s an emergency.»
«No.»
…
“Okay, thank you!“
Super nice and helpful. Maybe refer another doctor, a hospital, ask what’s wrong, anything… Nope, not a patient. Just «no».

I have been going to see Dr. Mac for the past 18 years. He delivered all three of my children and always made me feel comfortable with any questions I may have had. I feel he is highly professional, knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone.

I went to Dr. McInerney when I found out I was expecting and am so happy with that decision. I always felt so comfortable with him and trusted him throughout my entire pregnancy. He wasn’t an over friendly doctor which was nice because he always remained professional and knowledgable. My delivery was a breeze and I don’t think I would have had a better experience if I chose a different doctor. I absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Hands down, the best doctor I’ve had in my life. He eased any fears I had, highly professional, good bedside manner and I was able to contact him in the off hours when I had a question. He delivered my perfect baby girl with ease. Granted, I had a relatively healthy pregnancy, but I am fully confident that he is so knowledgeable he’d be the guy to see if you have complications as well. I plan on sticking with him for the long haul because I trust him immensely.

Had Dr McInerney as my OB but he was so rude I switched to a midwife 15 miles away in my 30^th week. I couldn’t believe how judgemental he was in regards to my choices about what I wanted for my son’s birth. He even tried to pressure me into getting vaccines I don’t agree with by threatening me with my baby’s health. I would never EVER recommend anyone to use him.

I switched to Dr. Mac in my third trimester and am soo thankful i did. Long story short, I had a VERY ROUGH labor and was rushed to c-​section, i truley believe dr. mac and the nurses at palos saved both my life and my sons.
If your looking for a GREAT OBGYN and even a great office staff check out Dr. Mac.

Okay, can we speak freely for a second?
Good. (And sorry in advance to anyone who’s a bit squeamish about this sort of thing.)
When you’re pregnant, it seems like everyone is up in your biz. Seriously. I mean, like, truly – you need a great relationship with your OB for this very reason. I mean, it’s bad enough having a regular MD or DO of whom you *aren’t* a fan, but an OB? Not gonna jive, no way.
I’m a mother of three – one of which is biological (the oldest – my son, age four), my other two kids (both girls) are adopted. :) That said, if I’m Unilocaling about a doc from over four years ago, you know he’s gotta be good, right?
Right.
In my third trimester, I switched from a multiple physician practice (I never really felt as though I «knew» any of the docs – it led to me feeling a bit uncomfortable overall) to a solo OB. And let me tell you, as it turns out, switching in the last trimester? Ummm… not all that usual. As *that* turns out, Dr. McInerney was willing to take me on. I liked his staff immediately – they were laid back but professional, and I liked the fact that he can deliver at either Palos Community Hospital or Christ. So far, it was good, yes? Yes.
Overall, I can’t stress how happy I am with my experience under his care. He’s a fantastic physician – he’s been doing this for quite some time, but isn’t pushy with his own agenda. I felt he really listened to me and quelled a lot of my fears (I had a scheduled c-​section and was SUPER nervous). His bedside manner was fantastic. He really made me feel comfortable both as a patient and as a nervous first time mother-​to-​be. The one downside is that you did have to wait for quite a bit past your scheduled appointment time on average. However, he NEVER rushed me out of the exam room, he never made me feel like I was inconveniencing him with questions, and he always encouraged the use of his paging system should any concerns arise (and I did use it once – he called back within less than five minutes’ time, seriously). Overall, a great OB – definitely worth the office wait time, and definitely someone you can feel quite comfortable with as your due date approaches.
If you’re rocking the south subs and in need of an OB/​GYN, Dr. Mac’s your man. You will not be disappointed with his professionalism or the level of care you receive. You just won’t.
