Dr. Magdy Awad Builds a Practice on Trust

Dr. Magdy Awad opened his doors in Garfield Ridge and spent the next three decades caring for Chicago women with a level of attention that quickly became the reason families never left, and never stopped referring their daughters.

2012

Dr. Michael Awad Joins the Practice

Dr. Michael M. Awad, DO, FACOG, joined his father in 2012, bringing board-certified surgical training and a shared belief that private, relationship-based care could not be replaced by a bigger system.

2020

Care Team Expansion

PAs were added to the practice to expand level of care and availability.

Today

One of the Last Private OBGYN Practices in Chicago

Father and son have practiced side by side, and Dr. Michael now leads the practice, often caring for the very patients his father once delivered as newborns.

"We are delivering the babies of the babies we delivered."

I was taken care by PA Morgan J. and I have never felt so seen and soothed by any other healthcare provider like I was here. The young ladies at the front desk are so sweet as well.

I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

My first visit was a great experience. The front desk staff was very nice, pleasant and helpful. Doctor was very informative, patient and professional. Not a fan of blood work, but she did very well taking blood from me. Barely felt the needle, and she was fast. ???????? I'm glad I came here!

Jennifer Sykstus, PA-C

Jennifer Sykstus Biography

Jennifer is a board-certified Physician Assistant who earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in May 2025. She has been working at Women’s Health Group since June 2025.

My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care while empowering patients with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. 

Dr. Michael M. Awad

Dr. Michael “Mike” Awad is a second-generation OB/GYN who followed in his father’s footsteps. From a young age, he knew he wanted to become a physician after watching his father build lasting relationships with his patients. Today, Dr. Awad has the unique privilege of caring for, and even delivering the babies of, women his father once delivered himself.

Dr. Awad completed his undergraduate education at Loyola University Chicago, followed by post-baccalaureate research at Harvard Medical School. He earned his medical degree from Midwestern University and completed his residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Loyola University Medical Center.

Dr. Awad loves the practice of obstetrics and gynecology and the relationships he develops with his patients. His philosophy is simple: meet every patient where she is, listen carefully, and make sure she feels understood and confident in her care. He believes exceptional medicine means going beyond the diagnosis to explain options, answer questions, and individualize treatment.

His clinical approach begins with a core principle: the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. His areas of focus include endometriosis, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, abnormal bleeding, and high-risk obstetrics.

As a skilled robotic gynecologic surgeon, Dr. Awad emphasizes minimally invasive treatment while recognizing that surgery is not always the first or only option. In obstetrics, he provides individualized care for both routine and high-risk pregnancies, with an emphasis on continuity and close physician involvement.

At Women’s Health Group, Dr. Awad has built his practice around the same values that inspired him growing up: clinical excellence, accessibility, trust, and long-term relationships with patients and their families.
