WomanCare

I see Dr. Kasinak and highly recommend her. She she’s great. Not your most favorite place to go of course but the staff is friendly and Dr. Kasinak makes you feel as comfortable as possible, I’ve been to a few of the locations and the the décor friendly and clean. The supporting staff also does an impeccable job and answers all your questions. Hope you have the same experience.

I visit Dr. Keith. She is the best. I only go to get medication and do the annual.
When I need to make or cancel an appointment it’s immediate, same with filling and refilling prescriptions, and getting back results. You often can only reach the nurses, which is the first line of contact; understandable because the Doctor’s are often very busy. However, with a close relationship I am sure you could get a direct line to the doctor.
The Palatine office is beautiful.
The website is very straightforward and helpful, and you could also do everything on there if you don’t want to call in. It’s the most modern healthcare facility I’ve been to.

I’m really unhappy with my experience here. I have been going here for a couple of years and recently decided we were going to try to get pregnant. I won’t elaborate, but my questions weren’t really answered and I felt like I was talked down to by the doctor. A few months later, I found out I was pregnant. I had experienced some bleeding and they told me they wanted me to come in, the NP walked in and started talking so fast I couldn’t understand half of what she was saying and she spent maybe 5 minutes with me, told me all of the scary possibilities and then left. I found out my labs were low after calling back and forth over several days but by this time I had switched practices. I requested my records, which I had to pay for, and that was a hassle in itself, leading to me leaving the office in tears. My new doctor called me up after I gave her online access to my labs (because she still didn’t have my records) and said she thought my labs were fine and not to worry. I am glad I switched practices because I just felt like a number.

We just moved to the area this past March and then my wife became pregnant shortly thereafter. She did a lot of research and settled on WomanCare because the quality of the entire practice is most important to us seeing as you’re not that likely to have your primary doctor deliver after hours or on the wkend because of the rotation.
We’ve been to 10+ visits at the Schaumburg and Palatine locations and have always had an exceptional experience. We really like the modern décor and ambiance and the office staff have been nothing but kind to us. My wife had preterm labor with our 1^st and now 2^nd child and it really makes me feel good to know that many of the doctors there have been through the same thing with multiple children.
Probably the most impactful story for me is when my wife went in to see Dr. Cucco. She was in a horrible job situation, we were packing up to move downtown, and we had been to NCH 3x the previous week with preterm labor. She NEVER has a meltdown and as he kindly asked how things were going with the pregnancy and as she shared details, she just started crying. He came over and gave her a hug and told her everything would be ok. I wasn’t able to be there at that appt so knowing that she was in the arms of someone that caring in a really rough situation spoke volumes to me. Even though we are moving downtown, we will drive back to Palatine to see these Doctors. I highly recommend them!
The only reason I took one star off is because my wife requested her records since we were moving downtown and the office told her it would cost $ 27. We both work in the software technology field and will never be happy with any answer short of being able to export the records to PDF format and putting them on our portable thumb drive or faxing them to our fax2pdf gateway phone number so we can have the digital copies. I’ve been able to do that with every provider I’ve ever seen the past 7+ years without a cost (except univ of chicago and they’re slowly becoming more digital in their processes). My advice is to build the average cost of this process (employee scanning things or exporting to PDF from digital system) into office visit charges somehow so that its not offensive to have to pay again to get the records for the procedures you’ve already paid hundreds/​thousands for.

Cant say much about this office, except you don’t feel like you’re truly «taken care of». I personal started going there because it was right around the corner from my house. I had been going there for years and can honestly say that I never once saw the same doctor (not a good sign). Call it a hunch but I get this money hungry vibe from them as well. Either way, every time I went a majority of the time I spent there was waiting to be called up for my appointment. The amount of time a doctor spent with you in the room was minutes and they always seemed like that didn’t care or listen to me at all. A close friend of mine had a serious medical issue and kept being tossed around from doctor to doctor (without any answers) until she too went else where. I’d skip this place …

There are several doctors at the different Womancare Offices, some seem really good but others, meh… not so much. I used to see Dr. Cucco and was pleased with him until one visit, shortly after I had a miscarriage where he completely went off on me. I was there for a follow up visit and he started chastising me about the risks of pregnancy in my late 30s. I was almost in tears when I left. Up until then, he seemed like competent doctor but definitely not worth it to me to deal with his Jekyll-​Hyde personality. I really felt like I was put through the ringer when I left the office that day and I had only gone there for a routine visit.

They put on a friendly, professional front, but I question their competency.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a few months and have had a few problems. Every single time I go into WomanCare or speak with one of the nurses on the phone, I have to explain to them every detail of what is going on. Shouldn’t this be in my chart? Isn’t that the purpose of my chart? So that you know what’s going on before you call me, and so that when you call me, you can speak to me intelligently and about relevant information?
I shouldn’t have to explain myself every time. If they’re incapable of reading my chart in order to convey the simplest information to me, then why would I trust them to do so when it actually matters, and when my health, or the health of a baby is at stake?

I had an appointment with Dr. Cucco, who was extremely professional, informative, and kind. The receptionists at the front desk are helpful and mostly kind.

So I’m here about once a month if not more with my pregnant wife. The place is tucked away on the far end of a small strip plaza and may be hard to spot but it’s there. The people, from the receptionists to the doctors are all very nice here. It’s clean and quiet. It would get a full five but there was one time where I think miscommunication had us waiting nearly 45mins just for an ultrasound when the tech had been free taking people who had appointments after us.
Anyways, for the most part all the docs are great. We’ve met with all of them and while having some favorites, thankfully they all seem like they fit perfectly there.

I’ve been a Womancare patient for 26 years. I have gone in for routine annuals yearly. The staff is always so friendly and my doctor, Dr. Cucco is wonderful and professional. Last year when I received some concerning results he called me and took the time to explain what needed to be done. He answered all my questions! He helped arrange for me to meet the specialist and get scheduled for further tests. I was called immediately with results and told the next plan. I felt so taken care of! I’m so glad to know that my doctor is there for me when I really need him and things are not routine. I highly recommend Womancare to anyone looking for great health care!

Friendly staff who take the time to let you ask questions. I see Dr. Kasinak and I would recommend her to any friend — she is kind, patient and answers all questions thoroughly. I didn’t feel rushed during my appointment and was pleased that I didn’t have to wait past my scheduled appointment time in order to be seen.

Dr. Jackman was the doctor I saw here. I am 19 and went to her for the first time and was I ever disappointed. She kept pushing the vaccine they want everyone to get now. I told her no. I told her I was a virgin and had no plans to be active in the next couple of years and didn’t need it. She acted like it was impossible for a girl my age to not be sexually active! What an insult. And they were very expensive. (Others have mentioned this, too.) So I won’t be back. I have found a very nice practice where they treat me like a patient and not a guinea pig for some new vaccine!

Okay, lets be honest– going to the gynecologist; not everyone’s favorite thing to do. However, if its that time of year or you need to get something checked out, I highly recommend Dr. Keith at Womancare.
I selected Womancare and Dr. Keith after changing insurance plans. I had absolutely no prior knowledge of Dr. Keith or the clinic prior to going today. I simply selected the clinic and Dr. Keith because it is close and she was in my insurance network.
When I realized where the clinic was located, I was immediately skeptical. The clinic is located in a slightly older, run down strip mall near a mexican restaurant. Not exactly what I think about when considering a «nice doctor’s office». The actual building itself from the outside is pretty plain and underwhelming. Yet, the inside completely makes up for it. When i entered, I was surprised at how nice and inviting the lobby was. I completely forgot how shabby the outside appears. The exam rooms are even better. I honestly felt like I was at a spa and about to get a massage, rather than an invasive pap.
Dr. Keith was even better! Not knowing at all what to expect in regards to personality, bed side manner, etc. I was a little nervous about the appointment. She immediately put me at ease. She was extremely personable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The actual exam was far better than others I have had in the past. Very quick, gentle and I guess as comfortable as it can be.
My only qualm with the entire experience was the friendliness of the nurse who checked my vitals, weight, etc. She could have been a bit more engaging — but for me, what really matters is the doctor, so who cares about the nurse.
I would defiantly recommend Dr. Keith and Womancare. I wish I would have known about her and the clinic sooner!

Although I already wrote a scathing review of Dr. Cucco on the Schaumburg location’s Unilocal profile (one of the worst doctors I have ever seen – please go see the review for more details), I have also visited this Palatine office and have had extremely poor experiences with WomanCare as a company.
The nurses at WomanCare were extremely unknowledgeable. They would make suggestions to me before I saw the doctor that had nothing to do my own health situation (as if they had barely skimmed my health history before offering me advice that I could have found in a magazine). In addition, WomanCare prescribed me the same medication twice, because they had «lost» the record of the first time I was on the medication. Lastly, everything at that company is automated, and it can take hours – even days – to actually get in touch with a person there.
All in all, this company was some of the worst health care I’ve ever received. Please do yourself a favor and research other gynecologists in your area before ever coming here.

I see Dr. Weiss and she does a great job of remembering who you are even with her working in 3 different locations and dealing with 100s of patients. She takes very good care of you and makes you feel very comfortable. I’ve called the nurse’s hotline a couple of times and the nurses are educated and helps you with any questions you may have.

BE WARNED_​LOOOONG WAITS.
I have been coming here three years but may have to stop, I just cant stand the ridiculously long and inconsiderate waits. You can sit in the examining room for an hou or more – /​NO excuse for this and I have tried different times during the day. No one comes in the room, no apology, they just think its fine I guess.
There are just too many docs around town to put up with this. No other business would treat clients like this,
I sent two friends to see Dr Mitchell as they work in the area and one walked out after 45 minutes on the table waiting,
and neither will return.
Come on, time your appointments better folks !!
And to the front desk==SMILE ladies, you are lucky to have a job– Act like you at least LIKE us.

I work near this office so I have been going to Womancare for almost 2 yrs and see Dr. Ankrah, who is great! She’s comfortable to visit with, informative, always answers all the questions I may have, and is friendly. The office itself is clean and not too out of date. Depending on when your appointment is, you either wait a few min or more. but I’m sure that goes for a lot of offices.

This facility is fantastic. Dr. Jackman is a great doctor and the staff is very friendly. I feel very comfortable and relaxed here. The exam rooms are cozy and warm and you do feel cared about there.

I see Dr. Jackman and am very happy. I love the facilities and she is always very comfortable and through. I have been seeing her for three years now and have never been happier. I highly recommend!
