Boss Lady Docs is a multipurpose organization -- a mix of social and professional, with suburban female doctors providing each other informal support, mentoring, medical consultations, business help and camaraderie.
Matteini, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in the spine at Fox Valley Orthopedics, set out two and a half years ago to find a few fellow female physicians in the West and Northwest suburbs. The result has grown into Boss Lady Docs, a multipurpose organization that is a mix of social and professional, with local female doctors providing each other informal support, mentoring, medical consultations, business help and camaraderie.
"I have only very high admiration for Lauren and what she has done to create this," added Shital Tanna, a population health physician at Advocate Physician Partners and Sherman Hospital in Elgin. "Everyone knows you text me the cellphone number, who they are, spelling of their name, where they practice and what their subspecialty is. And I keep track of everyone. I'm the admin," Matteini said.
"Part of the ability of this group is for all of us to share certain experiences and use each other to bounce ideas off of," Matteini said."We're still struggling in the workplace with certain aspects of health care, whether it be administration or cuts or lack of access for our patients or having an issue with other colleagues or people in the hospital, men or women. Or patient experiences.
