Dr. George, as he prefers to be called by his patients, believes in treating the
whole person, and does not view pregnancy as a disease. He believes strongly that
woman should be in charge of her health care decisions and that together they can
decide on treatment.
“I see my relationship with my patients as more of a partnership, where together
we decide on the right course for each woman.”
"One of the reasons why I chose to specialize in OB/GYN care is because I get to
know my patients and their family and I think the close relationship we develop
allows me to provide better care."
Dr. George welcomes the participation of the woman and her partner in care decisions.
About Dr. George
Dr. George was raised in Chicago and attended Lane Tech High School. He went on
to obtain a degree in Chemistry from the University of Illinois, Chicago before

satisfying.
