Looking for Chicago CF physician

We lived in Chicago for 5 years and saw Dr. John Lloyd-Still at Rush Pres. We really like him and his whole team. When we first saw him he was at Childrens Memorial but moved to Rush Pres and we followed him. He was a beautiful English accent and a wonderful personality. Hope this helps.

Not sure if you live in the City or the suburbs of Chicago. But the two CF Clinics in the suburbs are
1. Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, the Adult CF doctor is Dr. Arvey Stone and he is excellent!
2. Loyola in Maywood and the doctor is a Dr. Geriaty(mispelled)

I have been going to the CF Center in Park Ridge for the last 28years! I was the first CF patient at the center when it opened. If you have questions post them with a new topic line and I can get back to you.

If you are anywhere close I would go to Dr. Stone. I have been going there for a really long time. He is excellent.

Thank Jennifer. I do live in the city and would prefer to have my care here. I am looking into U of chicago and northwestern. Thank you very much for thoughts.

When I moved to Chicago, my doc at Boston Children's referred me to U of Chicago, saying it was the best. For insurance reasons, I've also been at Northwestern with Manu Jain and Lutheran with Arvey Stone. I've had ups and downs at all three, but they're all good. And I know ppl who swear by Loyola. I think it comes down to personal preference. If you want a big, private room with a view of the lake, for instance, take Northwestern!

That was Dr. Lucy Lester. She was excellent but no longer sees adult patients as far as I know. I was being handed off to another doc in the (then) new adult clinic when I left U of C, but I never saw him and don't recall his name.

You can also contact the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They are located in the city and they might be able to point you in the right direction too.

Good luck!
