Michele Helbing, MD

I’ve never been to this doctor in particular but called the office because of all the great reviews and they don’t take Medicaid. To all the to-​be mommies out there who have medicaid: Don’t even bother with this place.

Was crushed to learn that she has «moved out of state» and is no longer with Ravenswood OBGYN.
She was my favorite doctor ever.
She was quick, smart, caring, took time to answer questions, empathetic, cool, cute, made you feel comfortable, and didn’t condescend.
I can’t say enough good things about her.
So sorry she has gone away!

Dr. Helbing is fantastic. She answers all questions and is thorough in her examination. She makes the process as comfortable as visiting an OBGYN can be. I would suggest her to any woman looking for a personable, friendly, professional and approachable doctor. The office is also quick to follow up when sending test results, so you don’t have to sit and wonder.

I saw Dr. Helbing today as a new patient. I just moved to Chicago in June so I was in need of a gynecologist. I didn’t even know where to start searching for a new gyno so I checked Unilocal and saw Dr. Helbing had great reviews so I made an appointment. I was not disappointed!
The office was nice and clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. I didn’t wait long in the waiting room but did have to wait a little bit in the exam room.
Dr. Helbing was super friendly and professional. I always worry about finding a gyno that is lesbian friendly and Dr. Helbing was great. She was very accepting and knowledgeable. The exam was quick, but not rushed. She made sure to ask if I had any questions or concerns.
I am so pleased with my new doctor! I would recommend her to anybody!

Michelle is HANDS DOWN the best BOX DOCTOR. I got the recommendation for her, from a friend when i was looking for a female doctor, for female parts. All jokes aside, she is a wonderful, caring, honest person and I did not feel like I was being rushed through the appointment.

I know it’s weird to Unilocal about your lady doc but I’m new to the city and Unilocal is how I found Dr. Helbing. She was great. Extremely nice and informative. I hate trying to find new doctors and if anyone needs a good OBGYN Dr. Helbing is the doc to go to.

I used to have an excellent GYN, who at one time, performed a very difficult and painful surgery on me. I definitely developed a bond with her through all of that. So when she moved away, I was so worried that I’d never find another GYN that could measure up to her standard of care, candor and spirit. Thankfully I found Dr. Helbing! She’s incredible!

Dr. Helbing was the first GYN I had ever been too, so I was nervous to say the least. She made the whole process very easy and comfortable. She was very patient with all my questions, concerns, etc and answered each and every one very proffessionally.
The office staff was also helpful.
I recommend her to anyone.

My complaint is not with Dr. Helbing, as I never got the opportunity to see her. My complaint is with the office members and policies. I was looking for a new doctor close to home, and I read all these wonderful reviews on Unilocal,so I scheduled my appointment for a procedure I needed to have. A week before my appointment, I called in to speak with a nurse or with the doctor to discuss some details. I was nervous about the procedure, and wanted to get some additional information. The doctor was not available, nor was a nurse, and because I was a new patient, the receptionist told me it was against office policy to take a message. I reassured her that this was not a sales call, and I just really wanted to talk to a doctor or nurse and I was nervous. Was there another time I could call back to talk to someone? She said no, and she again refused to take a message. When I told her that I would have to cancel my appointment, she didn’t even flinch. Obviously they don’t need the extra business, and they don’t value their clients. I’m sure the doctors at this office are professional and wonderful, but unfortunately, the other staff were so horrible, that I will never find out.

I could never say enough good things about her. I had my second daughter through this office and Dr. Helbing was my main doctor. I love her. She is amazing, smart, professional and now — a Mommy too! I also use her for my yearly exams, and while uncomfortable no matter how you look at it I can still crack a joke about the whole experience. Love love love the women at this office!

I went to see Dr. Helbing with an issue and was happy to find that she was incredibly professional, friendly and helpful. She listened to my entire story, answered my questions and offered suggestions for next steps. I was thrilled to have an appointment with a doctor who made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be back!

ditto to the previous message, I am a doc myself and I refer all my patients to Dr. Helbing, she takes very good care of me and all my patients. Thanks Dr. Helbing!

Ok, so I feel a teensy bit weird Unilocaling my lady-​doctor, but she’s awesome.
When I moved here, I was dreading finding new doctors, because it always seems like such a hassle to get appointments. I was fully expecting to wait two or three months to be seen, but by fabulous luck, I got an appointment a week and a half after I called. That definitely started things off on a great note.
Dr. Helbing is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She’s totally great about answering questions, even if they’re bizarre and/​or unrelated to the visit at hand (we talked about grad/​med school admissions). And she handles the awkward questions — come on, most of the things that one asks their gyno are pretty flipping awkward — very well.
She’s probably the best doc I’ve ever had, and most definitely the best gyno. I mean, really. Nobody enjoys going to the lady-​doctor. If you’re lucky enough to find one that puts you at ease and makes the whole experience as non-​awkward as possible? That’s awesome. You might even be inclined to write a Unilocal review about them, regardless of how strange it might feel to Unilocal your gyno.
