The Women's Group of Northwestern

The Women's Group of Northwestern OBGYN Medical office Since 1989, our services have centered around providing comprehensive medical care to women in a friendly and professional manner.

The Women’s Group of Northwestern was founded in 1989 as the city’s first all-female medical practice specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. To accomplish this, we maintain a state-of-the-art facility and provide the latest in medical innovation and technologies in a comfortable setting. To meet your health care needs efficiently, we offer a broad range of services right in our office. These services include but are not limited to OB/GYN ultrasounds, colposcopy, LEEP, hysteroscopic sterilizations, and treatment of heavy periods with endometrial ablations. The Women’s Group of Northwestern consists of nine board certified physicians Elena M. Kamel, Anita Levin, Linda S. Katz, Pamela A. Lui, Julie Ericson, Julie Levitt, Kamaljeet Murthy, Stephanie W. Lau and Jordan Sheran (board eligible) focusing their practice to both obstetric and gynecologic care. All are committed to providing you the most advanced medical care available. Our practice employs Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants as part of your health care team. These women have been formally trained in women’s health to provide diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative health care services. Additionally, most of the NPs and PAs in our office have been trained to perform procedures. At times, patients find the NP and PAs schedules to be more flexible to allow for same day appointments when problems arise. Another important part of our team are the triage nurses. They are available by telephone from 9 to 4:30 Monday through Friday to answer your medical questions. As an all-female practice, we have a vested interest in women’s health issues. Whatever your needs, you can expect to receive attentive care and medical expertise from women who understand your needs from both a personal and professional point of view. On behalf of our entire staff of The Women’s Group of Northwestern, we welcome you to our practice!

🩷 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a reminder that screening saves lives 🩷

Regular mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

🤩 We’re excited to share that our new mammography suite will be opening soon, making it easier than ever to stay up to date on your screenings right here in our downtown office! 🥳

Talk to your provider about when to begin screening and how often it’s right for you — and don’t wait to schedule your mammogram!

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month 💗🩵

This month, we pause to honor the families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a pregnancy or baby. Your grief matters. Your story matters. And you are not alone.

At WGON, our physicians are deeply committed to improving outcomes and supporting families through every part of their journey. This week Dr. Kirkpatrick participated in the IMPROVE Workshop through the University of Utah—a program developed in collaboration with Australian health experts to help clinicians better understand, review, and learn from perinatal and infant losses.

Through education, compassion, and evidence-based care, we strive to turn heartbreak into progress—so that every family receives the care, empathy, and respect they deserve.

🩵💗 This month, we remember the little ones gone too soon and the families who carry their memory every day.
