Our practice is unique in that when you come to our office for your first examination we sit down with you in an interview office to take a full medical history and listen to your concerns and needs. Then we proceed to the examination room for your exam. Our philosophy is Taking the Time to Listen to our clients which gives us a better picture of the whole person when trying to make a diagnosis.

Dr. Martin J. Weiner established his solo practice in 1988 in Gurnee Illinois. With the addition of associate practitioners, in 1990 the practice was re-named Associates For Women's Health.

Our Gurnee location has remained the same except for a suite change in 1998 due to growth. We have an additional office location in Waukegan. Our office staff is fluent in Spanish.

All of our patients are seen by appointment. Knowing your time and ours is valuable, we strive to adhere to a schedule. Emergencies and obstetrical deliveries may delay the physician on occasion. If the physician is extremely behind schedule our office staff will offer to reschedule your appointment. Tardiness to your appointment greater than 15 minutes may result in being seen as time permits, seeing another practitioner in the office or appointment rescheduling.
