About Me

Maliha Sayla, MD | Board-Certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist

As a Board-Certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist in active clinical practice since 2014 and with extensive leadership experience, I provide expert medical-legal consultation grounded in the highest standards of women’s healthcare. Currently serving as the Medical Director of Labor and Delivery and an OB/GYN Hospitalist at Northwestern Medicine/Delnor Hospital in Geneva, IL, I remain at the forefront of acute obstetric care and hospital-based management.

My background spans the full spectrum of the field, from private practice to academic medicine. I have held prominent leadership roles, including Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Chair of the Quality Committee at Edward Hospital in Naperville, IL. These positions have given me a deep, functional understanding of the "standard of care"—not just as a concept, but as a rigorous framework for patient safety and clinical excellence.

An alumna of the University of Chicago and the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, I am also a dedicated educator, serving as a preceptor for Family Medicine residents.

I pride myself on my ability to translate complex, high-stakes medical emergencies into clear, accessible, and evidence-based insights for the court.
