About Dr. Dana Sullivan
**When scheduling your Well Woman Exam, please ensure it's scheduled one year after your previous exam. If you are a returning patient, please make sure to book your exam with your same provider.**
Dana started her nursing career at Northwestern Prentice Women's Hospital’s postpartum units. After a few years, she was inspired to transition to Northwestern's Center for Fertility & Reproductive Medicine to gain experience and care for patients with infertility and fertility preservation management. This nursing experience included intrauterine inseminations, coordinating, and monitoring oral and injectable treatment cycles, fertility preservation for patients with cancer and transgender patients, and in-vitro preoperative and postoperative care. As part of her doctoral nursing education at Rush University, she implemented a transgender education quality improvement project at Northwestern with an emphasis on improving the staff's self-efficacy caring for patients. Dana’s interests in the Ob-Gyn field include treatment of infertility and family planning. She is passionate about forming strong patient relationships to ensure patients feel supported during sensitive fertility and gynecologic care.

I would refer her to anyone! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I was very nervous and anxious for the appointment, and she really helped make me feel comfortable and calm. She was incredibly friendly and I will be going back to her! Cannot say enough positive things.

I have been a patient at this practice since 2009. I have had basic gynecological care, birth control, and three babies along the way. I have met most of the physicians but my favorites are Dr Dugan-Kim and Dana Sullivan (NP). They are both great listeners, true problem solvers and pleasant to be around. Dr. Dugan-Kim delivered 2/3 of my kids and has always gone above and beyond for me. Love this practice and can’t recommend enough.
