On the edge of the city where Chicago meets its southwest suburbs, the Women's Health Group-OBGYN at 5311 S Harlem Ave (Suite 100) serves as a sanctuary for comprehensive female wellness. This isn't just a clinical office; it is a multi-generational health hub where the milestones of a woman's life—from the first gynecological visit through the journey of motherhood and the transition into menopause—are treated with a blend of high-tech medicine and deep-rooted empathy.
Located in a modern, accessible suite, this practice has become a cornerstone for women who value a provider who truly listens before they act.
The Vision: Holistic Life-Cycle Care
The Women's Health Group operates on the philosophy that OBGYN care should be as unique as the women they serve. They bridge the gap between "standard checkups" and personalized wellness journeys:
The "Boutique" Pregnancy Experience: Their obstetrical care is designed to be intimate and supportive. Whether it is a low-intervention birth plan or a high-risk pregnancy requiring advanced monitoring, the team provides a "concierge" feel that prioritizes the safety and emotional well-being of both mother and child.
Surgical Innovation: The practice is a leader in minimally invasive gynecology. By utilizing advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques, they offer solutions for endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic health that involve smaller incisions, less pain, and significantly faster recovery times.
The Hormone & Wellness Frontier: Recognizing that health extends beyond reproductive years, they offer specialized programs for menopause management and hormonal balance, ensuring women remain vibrant and active at every stage of life.
The Atmosphere: Urban Sophistication, Neighborhood Heart
The Harlem Avenue office is designed to counteract the "cold" feeling of traditional medical centers:
The "Living Room" Vibe: From the moment you enter Suite 100, the atmosphere is professional yet warm. The design emphasizes privacy and comfort, creating a safe space for open dialogue about sensitive health topics.
Radical Accessibility: Positioned right on the Harlem corridor, the clinic serves as a vital bridge for patients from Chicago’s South Side, Garfield Ridge, and neighboring Summit or Bedford Park. It offers "big city" expertise without the stress of downtown parking and traffic.
Empowered Education: The providers here are known for being "health educators." They don't just provide a diagnosis; they provide the tools and knowledge for women to take ownership of their biological health.
Why It’s Unique
What sets Women's Health Group-OBGYN (Harlem Ave) apart is its Culturally Competent Care.

They provide a level of advocacy that ensures every patient—regardless of her background or stage in life—receives the gold standard of care. It is the destination for the woman who wants a medical "home" rather than just a medical appointment.

TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I've been coming to Dr. Awad and Dr. Mike for over 30 years. Never had a bad experience and actually look forward to chatting with them both.
I was a little sad and nervous when I was told Dr. Mike was unavailable today (delivering babies!) so I saw Dr. Lexi. I should have known Dr. Mike would only hire the best to work with him. Dr. Lexi was kind and knowledgeable. She asked all the right questions and was very gentle. Great staff as well.
- Dr. Michael is an amazing doctor. He is not just a OB, he is also very good at doing surgery. He helped me removed my large multiple fibroids and I get the very good recovery. He is a doctor I can trust.And at his center, all staffs are really nice people. I can always get a good experience here. I also want to say thank you to Dr. Alexis. She is very nice and pretty. Her smile can always melt my heart. I strongly recommend Women's Health Group and Dr. Michael!
- I absolutely love Dr. Mike and his dad as well. I have been with them since I was 23. 37 years. I love that they are personable and they have a wonderful bedside manner. They always take their time and listen to what you have to say. They really care about their patients.
