5.0 star star star star starDr Venuti is so kind and so helpful and is able to answer all of my questions (I have a lot) without feeling rushed. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to everything before giving opinions. I can't say enough great things about her. She is truly the top reason I came back to Northwestern

5.0 star star star star starI am considering moving my care to the bronzeville location as it is closer and more convenient for me, however, Dr, Venuti has been incredible in helping me with my care over the last several years so I a torn.

5.0 star star star star starNearly 6 years ago when I was in my late 30s, I saw Dr. Venuti for the first time. And she was the first doctor to have an honest yet disarming conversation with me about family planning as I was getting older. She spoke to me like I was a friend, with empathy and encouragement and without judgment_ asking guiding questions and suggesting options to preserve my fertility. Because of her, I decided to freeze my eggs_ and now, 6 years later, I have a baby girl who came from one of those frozen eggs! It's crazy to think that if not for Dr. Venuti's approach to patient care, I may not have this sweet baby girl who has changed my world in the best way imaginable. I've continued to see Dr. Venuti over the years and she is truly the best OBGYN. She is highly attentive and is well-prepared for every appointment. She is incredibly kind and relatable, which makes the dreaded "annual exam" much more tolerable. And she has an innate ability to take concerns seriously while putting those concerns at ease. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Venuti_ I would recommend her to anyone.

This was to review results of ultrasounds and recent MRI and to discuss next steps, including surgery. She ensured all of my questions were answers and I felt I knew what each of the options were moving forward. I am appreciative of the time she spent with me to discuss all of this.
