Hello! I’m Dr. Nadine E. Bolger, a board-certified gynecologist and obstetrician. I was born in the southern suburbs of Chicago and grew up in Orland Park, raised by the most wonderful parents. My brother and I cherish their memory every day. Today, my family and I are happy to call the western suburbs our home.

My journey in medicine began with an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University. From there, I pursued my medical degree at the University of Illinois-Chicago, followed by my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University—where I also met my dear friends, the “Gyne Girls Gone Wild” (you’ll have to ask me about them!). After completing my residency, I spent nearly two decades practicing with Lake Shore Obstetrics and Gynecology at Prentice Women’s Hospital/Northwestern Memorial Hospital, from 2006 until 2024. During that time, I had the privilege of learning from incredible mentors, collaborating with dedicated partners, and caring for an extraordinary and diverse group of patients.

When I’m not at work, I love to travel—especially with my family or my favorite travel buddies, the Gyne Girls Gone Wild. Maui holds a special place in my heart, particularly during whale season. At home, I’m a proud mom, cheering on my two kids in volleyball, basketball, and football, though I’m still working on beating them at golf! Evenings often find me enjoying cocktails on the porch with my husband before a delicious dinner he’s prepared. I’m a foodie and a proud Swiftie, with a passion for books about women throughout history and their triumphs, though I have to admit that Bridget Jones remains my favorite heroine. For exercise, I love walking my dog, McIlroy, and staying active with Pilates, Peloton, and weight training. And while I wish I had a better singing voice, I can’t help but belt out a tune, much to my family’s amusement.
