Mary Conte, MD

It’s hard to put into words how amazing Dr. Conte is. Following her to North Shore Morton Grove has been the best decision yet. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and Dr. Conte has been on a long journey with me as my husband and I struggled with conceiving.
Dr. Conte was thorough years ago doing tests for myself and my husband, really trying to understand why we were not successful with conceiving. After trying for 6 years (I saw and met Dr. Conte year 5 of trying to conceive), I was referred to a fertility specialist. I freaked out and Dr. Conte was literally there for me emotionally and allowed me to cry in her arms, afraid that fertility treatments would either A, not work, or B, not be in our budget. Dr. Conte was so confident in this decision and said, I know I will see you back in my office in 3 months and you’ll be pregnant.
I will write a separate review on the fertility Dr. because her and the entire staff were AMAZING! Dr. Conte was right, a few months later, I was in her office pregnant and she ran in the room, literally screaming with excitement and gave me the biggest hug! She has been a HUGE support, always takes her time, and extremely thorough in everything she explains and does. I NEVER feel rushed — if anything, we spend so much time together just catching up and chatting. I have recently referred a friend to Dr. Conte and if I could, would have all of my friends switch to her. Following her to NorthShore, like I said, BEST DECISION EVER!!! Thankful for Dr. Conte!

I love Dr. Conte! I had made an appointment with her in 2013 as I wanted to get in and situated with some one before getting pregnant (I had just gotten married). Well, before I could have my first appointment with her, SURPRISE! I’m pregnant! So I move the appointment back and saw her for the first time when I was 8 weeks pregnant. I loved her from the second I met her. She’s super friendly, out-​going, chatty, asked me a TON of non-​medical questions, just trying get to know me. My husband was with me and we both left her office feeling AWESOME.
She saw me through the whole pregnancy and was just amazing. She didn’t end up delivering my son, she wasn’t on call, so I can’t say how she is while you are giving birth but she was great with the follow up care. I had some complications and she was incredibly responsive, understanding and made the whole experience into a great memory for me (she literally danced in my recovery room at one point). My husband and I now look back and laugh about it all.
Anyway, I just saw her this morning for my yearly check up. I got a hug hello and a hug goodbye. We chatted for 30 minutes before even starting the exam, just catching up on what’s been going on. To be completely honestly, I’m looking forward to getting pregnant again, just so I get to see Dr. Conte on a regular basis again!
Lastly, as an FYI, she was with Swedish Covenant and left the practice at the end of last year and is at a new practice with NorthShore. Her office listing on here is correct. She now delivers her babies at Evanston Hospital. While I did love the nurses at Swedish and at her office, it’s not the greatest hospital. I am glad that she changed practices.

Dr. Conte is wonderful! It took a while to get pregnant the second time around and she was so supportive! She’s like a sister or best friend! Truly. I was lucky enough to have her deliver my baby boy and she was amazing in delivery. I’m an anxious person and since day one, she’s just kept me calm! She’s an incredible doctor, but for me, I love that in addition to knowing she’s brilliant at what she does — she’s a woman, wife and mom, just like me.

Dr. Conte is the best! She is both professional and down to earth. Answers tough questions directly without judgement, and has a general sunny demeanor that pregnant ladies need! I was lucky enough to have her deliver my sweet little girl, too. Shes awesome in the delivery room! My next appointment isn’t for a year and I miss her already. I would definitely recommend her for any mom-​to-​be. :D

Dr. Conte is quite honestly the best doctor I’ve ever had. She is not only an amazing OB/​GYN but she’s also just a great person. In an age when most doctors just want to move you through their office and get on with the next patient it’s refreshing to come across someone who genuinely cares.
Last January at the age of 37 my husband and I found out that we were expecting twins. As first time parents we had a million questions. As first time parents of multiples we had a million more questions! Dr. Conte sat with us and she answered every last one. Any time I had a concern or an issue she was there for me. When I had a subchorionic hemotoma in my second month of pregnancy Dr Conte talked me and my husband through it. When the lady leading the birth class we attended made me cry, Dr Conte was the one who told me to just keep focusing on how great I was doing. She was amazing and I honestly don’t think I would have made it to the end without her!
My babies were born at 36 weeks, completely healthy and spent no time in the NICU. They weighed almost 6lbs each. I owe that to Dr. Conte.
I have recommended her to all of my friends and coworkers. I cannot imagine going to any other OB. If you’re looking for someone amazing to bring your baby (or babies!) into the world, she’s your doctor.
