The Brigham is obviously outstanding but friends have said it can feel a bit impersonal there because it is just so large and there are so many doctors and patients. Not sure if that matters to you or not. The care is still top notch, for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931575 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:56:36 +0000 knittylady 1931575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my pregnancy with the midwives at Cambridge Birth Center and loved them! (We moved halfway through the pregnancy or I would have delivered there too!)</p> <p>FWIW I've known several women who love love loved Mt Auburn as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931523 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:13:40 +0000 brady80 1931523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second commonwealth OBGYN. They deliver at Brigham. The thing I loved about the practice was that I saw all the doctors throughout my pregnancy, so I was comfortable with all of them. They also have a nurse's line that you can call everyday and get questions answered so you don't have to wait around all day for a call back. I love them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931518 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:07:04 +0000 Sparkler 1931518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend Commonwealth OBGYN who are still in Brookline Village at One Brookline Place and deliver at the Brigham! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931471 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 18:33:09 +0000 rachiecakes 1931471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@angelachase: @Foodnerd81: also used the midwives at Mt.Auburn and love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931264 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:03:49 +0000 bushelandapeck 1931264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: mine is at MGH and I love her, but it looks like that's not an option for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931128 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:43:14 +0000 ineebee 1931128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: I love love LOVE my OB! I'm one of the ones @Mrs. Wagon was talking about, and I go to New England Ob-Gyn. They're located in a brand-spankin new building in Chestnut Hill (above the Wegman's). Communication and scheduling appointments and general organization of the place is top-notch, the staff are all wonderful and the building is beautiful and clean. </p> <p>ETA: Sorry I didn't see the above comments about convenience re: T-accessibility. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1931018 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:41:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1931018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@angelachase: I delivered with the Midwives at Mount Auburn and had such a great experience. I will definitely go back there when we have another and I recommend it to anyone looking for a midwife. </p> <p>@Eko: I really liked everything at mount auburn but it's not the most t accessible- though there are bus lines that get you close. I have friends who saw the OBs at the Harvard vanguard in Copley and liked them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930719 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:22:41 +0000 Eko 1930719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: It looks like you either have a long green line travel time followed by a 20 minute walk, or you also have to take a bus. Not the best location for me to get to and from work with appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930718 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:21:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 1930718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: yeah, I'm not sure about the T situation at all. It's right on route 9 in the new mall called Chestnut Hill Square. And they do deliver at the Brigham in case you were wondering about that. Shame-- they JUST moved from One Brookline Place which is right on the T! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930711 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:20:03 +0000 Eko 1930711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Thanks! They do seem really nice, I think it may be a little too far out of the way. Seems not the most convenient to get to by T. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930704 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:18:30 +0000 angelachase 1930704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just switched to the Midwives at Mt. Auburn &amp; am waiting to see how I like it--but before that I had a very positive experience with the OB/GYN department at the Harvard Vanguard Copley location. That was just for run-of-the-mill GYN care, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930694 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:13:21 +0000 mrs. wagon 1930694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love my practice and have recommended 3 close friends to them, and they all love them too. The practice is in Chestnut Hill, it's called New England OBGYN Associates. One just switched to them so I know they're taking new patients. There are several doctors in the practice and I really loved most of them. My doctor is Dr. Kolbas. She has been amazing and I really love her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930542 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:04:31 +0000 lisa1783 1930542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: Yup, I've never really had an issue with booking an appointment. I think when I tried to book my first appointment, I had to wait a week and a half? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930536 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:00:06 +0000 Eko 1930536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisa1783: Thanks! Are they easy to book appointments with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930523 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:55:45 +0000 lisa1783 1930523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB-GYN is Laura Beacher-Lind. She's very friendly and easy to get along with and was especially helpful during my first pregnancy.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tuftsmedicalcenter.org/PhysicianDirectory/Laura-Baecher-Lind.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.tuftsmedicalcenter.org/PhysicianDirectory/Laura-Baecher-Lind.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930520 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:53:42 +0000 Eko 1930520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisa1783: I think Tufts is in my network. MGH just most definitely is not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930501 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:49:40 +0000 lisa1783 1930501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: Is Tufts Medical Center (the hospital - not Tufts Healthcare) in your network? I LOVE my OB-GYN - she's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boston-bees-recommend-me-a-new-obgyn#post-1930437 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:26:43 +0000 Eko 1930437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently 8w pregnant. I have only lived in Boston for 3 years and have not developed a close relationship with any OB/GYN doctor. I have been seeing one doctor through Harvard Vanguard group, but have had little interaction for the most part. I had two miscarriages, and I was quickly referred to a specialist. Now that I am going back to the normal OB, they are impossible to try to schedule appointments with. So, I am looking for a new place to go. </p> <p>Any recommendations?? Preferably someone who is associated with Beth Israel or Brigham and Women's as they are in-network for my insurance. </p>
