Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the best Dr.
I needed emergency surgery and hadn’t seen Dr. Goba in years. I called her nurse and left a message. Dr. Goba called me back and got the ball rolling. She and her team took care of me. I recommend her to any woman in need of an OB Gyne.

My husband and I were sent to UIC for an elective induction after learning our baby had multiple fetal anomalies that would most likely not result in her making it through the entire pregnancy. We overall had an awful experience at UIC (our circumstances were not going to make any experience better). Dr. Goba was the physician on call the night we were supposed to be checked into a room. She pulled us aside and explained there were no rooms available. I, already very upset as I was losing my first baby, wanted the nightmare to be over with, got upset and asked when a room would be available and who I needed to talk to in order to get better care/help. Her comment back to me was cold, unprofessional and wildly offensive. I can’t remember exactly what was said, but had basically guilted me and my husband even more about our decision to not keep the pregnancy and stated that they were caring for woman who “wanted” their babies. I am forever scarred by those words and experience at UIC

I don't see her any good Dr in her field. She don't remember while typing and she always late to see her patient an hour late while patient is waiting in the room. She is dont care what patients has worries or care. All she say "yes" to patients. Her nurse is awful person. Even complaining about her nurse, she don't take serious what their patient is saying and worried about.

Please reconsider receiving treatment from Dr. Goba. As her methods consist of berating her patients and treating symptoms as opposed to the problem. Furthermore she failed to understand that as a doctor no two bodies are the same.

Dr. Goba is simply amazing. She is the first doctor that I have felt genuinely cared about my wellbeing and giving me piece of mind. I had to have a csection with my daughter and was very nervous about the surgery, especially since I do not accept blood products. Months up to the surgery, Dr. Goba had me on medication to ensure a safe surgery. I am happy to say 5 days post partum, I feel amazing and my incision is healing beautifully. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a genuine dr
