Physician Referral Services

Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Health Resources and Physician Referral Service can act as your "front door" by helping you find a primary care physician or specialist for you and your family. When you choose a physician on the medical staff at Northwestern Memorial, you will be selecting a professional from one of the nation's top academic medical centers where patients come first.

Our health consultants have access to the Northwestern Memorial physicians who choose to participate in the referral service and who carry faculty appointments at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Our consultants can provide you with the following information about a physician's:

  • Board certification
  • Education
  • Gender
  • Languages spoken
  • Medical insurance accepted
  • Office hours and locations
  • Practice philosophy
  • Medical specialty
  • Clinical interests

A consultant will match your preferences with your medical insurance plan and provide profiles of physicians who meet your criteria. We can assist you in scheduling a first appointment with the physician you select.

We will also send you a confirmation, including the names of the physicians referred, their office locations, directions and telephone numbers.
