Dr Macek is the best! He explains his recommendations and talks through options with patients. I have always felt heard by him, which can be hard to find in a doctor. He takes his time, but I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so for him to start the appointment. You can tell he really cares about his patients and their health.

Dr. Macek is amazing. He doesn't ever rush through my appointments and I love that he is very detailed. I wish I met him and his team when I had my baby in 2023. Having a high-risk pregnancy is very scary and something that you never prepare for. However, having Dr. Macek's support means a lot to me. Not once did he ever make me feel bad about continuing my pregnancy despite the diagnosis. He is a true doctor at heart.

Again, Dr. Macek is educated and compassionate. Dr. Macek was on point when in came to listening about my family history and his recommendations for my care. I am convinced his office saved my life and I get tears in my eyes every time I think about it. I credit Dr. Macek for listening and paying attention and working with the entire Northwestern team and looking me as individual person while addressing some of my textbook family history issues. Thank you so much Dr. Macek.

Dr Macek is a well-rounded doctor who not evaluates as an OB/GYN but also as a wholistic practitioner. He found problems and solutions that evaded my PCP. He also took the time I needed to feel comfortable. He found a mistake maker by my doctors 10 years ago and put me on medicine to fix it. It's been a week and I feel better than I've felt in 20 years. I highly recommend Dr. Macek!

Dr. Macek made my year. Besides being well-experienced, he is one of the most compassionate healthcare professionals I've ever met. The best examples of this, from my visit, are the trans-informed terms he automatically used with me to describe my body and its functions. I've never met a doctor who uses these terms and I've never felt confident enough to advocate for them before myself _ he just immediately knew to use them. He exemplified not only the basic earmarks of being a trans-informed doctor, but the kind of doctor who truly listens and pays attention to his patients. It's a devotion to creating a trusting and safe medical space for which I am endlessly grateful. I avoided seeing a gynecologist for years _ not anymore.
