Chris Donohoe, MD

"Dr. Donohoe is a board-certified pediatrician with nearly 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. After attending medical school and residency in Chicago, he spent the first four years of his career in the National Health Service Corp as the solo pediatrician in an underserved clinic in Milwaukee, WI. While there, he revamped the clinic’s struggling vaccination program and implemented a reading initiative to distribute donated books to families in need. He later returned to Chicago and worked in traditional private practice for eight years. He built a reputation as a thorough and thoughtful clinician who goes above and beyond for children and families who appreciate his expertise and calm, humble approach to medical care. In 2016 he started Donohoe Pediatrics, the first membership-based, concierge-style pediatric practice in Chicago. Dr. Donohoe believes that despite significant advances in medicine, the key to great care is an unrushed, thorough history and a comprehensive physical exam. This requires time, accessibility, and continuity. He is proud to have built a practice that allows him to provide the personalized, high quality care that he believes in. Dr. Donohoe received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in 1993. He went on to receive a M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1995 and worked for several years as an engineer. He received his M.D. from Northwestern University School of Medicine in 2001 and was inducted into Northwestern’s chapter of the national medical honors society, Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his pediatric residency at Children’s Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children’s Hospital) in 2004 where he continues to hold a faculty appointment. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Community Based Primary Care) at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and has privileges at Prentice Women’s Hospital."

"Donohoe Pediatrics is a concierge-style, membership-based, direct primary care (DPC) practice. That means we work for you. Not for insurance companies or employers or big hospital systems. Just you. This is a fundamental difference from what has become the norm in primary care medicine. By removing the administrative burden and the red tape that comes along with 3rd party payers, we make access to your doctor and the entire experience of care amazingly simple. Here is how it works: Patients join the practice by paying a one-time family registration charge of $250 followed by a monthly, per-child membership fee. The monthly fee varies by the age of the child. It is a simple, old fashioned idea. Combine expertise, intimacy and dedication to deliver care so personal you can’t believe your children were ever cared for another way. That is the Donohoe Pediatrics way…to take time with families, to understand their stress and fear, to hold their hands, laugh a little and walk together through all the challenges that come with raising children. We all deserve this, but it has become a rare reality in modern pediatric medicine. Our practice is devoted to these principles and we deliver it in a simple, clear package. Join us!!!"
