5.0 star star star star starDr Pavone listened to my concerns and we are moving forward with a plan that feels individualized to me. She was knowledgeable and explained things to me in ways that I have not had explained before which was very helpful.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Pavone is logical, calm, and solves problems. Getting a D&C at 10 weeks and dealing with a second miscarriage is not a fantastic experience, but considering the circumstances I feel/felt that I and my baby were at the best possible facility with the best possible doctor on our side. I can't imagine how she is able to give the bit of empathy she does, considering the thousands of traumatic experiences she helps navigate each year.

5.0 star star star star starI had a virtual appointment with Dr.Mary Ellen Pavone on 10/07/21 and we had a really good experience with Dr.Pavone. She is very kind , knowledgeable & understands what we wanted. She has recommended some procedures to undergo before going to IVF treatments which is very nice of her because even we wanted to see whether there are any options available before IVF. We will definitely recommend Dr.Pavone and Northwestern to all my family and friends.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderDr. Pavone is knowledgeable, she performed a procedure for me in February of this year. While I appreciate her knowledge in her area, I do not agree with her bedside manner. My experience with Dr Pavone after two in office visits was somewhat cold and abrupt.

5.0 star star star star starDr Pavone is a straightforward no nonsense doctor! It is hard to read her at times but I do not feel like she is afraid of a challenge or at least she will not show it. After being under her care for quite sometime I know she is very busy. I feel confident with Dr Pavone help we can make the best decisions moving forward. If she is ever unavailable to provide me care I would recommend and pick Dr Jungheim.

5.0 star star star star starSo far, I have had nothing but positive experiences with dr pavone. I know that I am in very good hands. I also really enjoy the video conferencing option for appointments where my physical presence is not necessary. I don’t mind coming in when I can swing it with my work schedule, but this is great when I can’t do that.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Pavone is the best dr there is at the clinic. She is kind and compassionate. She goes the extra mile for me. She has been my longest dr at 5.5 yrs and has never left my side. I just wish she would let me do more retrievals as I will have to go to Mexico to do another retrieval. My gyb onc said there is no reason i cant do more retrievals and use estrogen for FET.
