I think I saw her twice.. I was always shuffled around to whom ever was open. I then found and fell completely in love with my new Doctor. I switched within the office to Dr. Namita Kattal. She is one of the most sweetest and kindest Doctors I have ever met. I will make my appoitments around her schedule. I even had my Son on a certain day, just so she could deliver him :) I agree with some of these comments about the Front End Staff. They are definitely (Boston) if you know Boston people, you'll understand that description. Honestly, I am not going there for the Front End Staff. I am going there for the care and I can say I am traveling over 55 min to receive that from Dr. Kattal Hope this helps!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Katherine Johnson yesterday. I really don't even know where to…read morestart in this review. Other than to say I have never in my 53 years had a doctor that I actually felt listened to everything. I said I have spent the last four years seeking help for my menopause symptoms only to be dismissed or offered antidepressants. After four years of hearing things like that's just what happens when women get older or it sounds like you're dealing with some depression. It was really refreshing to have someone who actually listens and understands women's healthcare . Dr. Johnson was thoughtful, she explained everything she gave me options and did not make me feel like I was crazy she makes you feel comfortable and heard and I can't tell you how rare that is these days. I cannot recommend her enough if you're a woman in menopause and you feel like no one's listening to you Dr. Johnson is absolutely 100% the best. There are only five stars here, but I would give her more if I could.

Rather than prioritize rescheduling my appointment, I had to go to the back of the line and wait over 5 weeks for an appointment. For my second try at an appointment, I spent several minutes in the hospital building trying to find the check in station because there was such poor signage and no help desk. I finally called the doctor's office. The receptionist gave clear directions, but when I arrived at the office after going to the third floor check in desk, she said my appointment was canceled - even though I was less than 15 minutes late and had called her to explain that I was lost! In a city with excellent medical care, this office isn't worth anyone's time.

As a 37 year old woman, I can tell you that I've always known I wanted children. However, I didn't…read moreimagine being single in my late 30's...so after almost 2 years of going back and forth with myself, I finally decided to give my future-self the best chance at having a biological child and I started the process to freeze my eggs. Fertility is personal and emotional and scary but choosing the right doctor makes ALL the difference. The best decision I made was choosing Dr. Jan Shifren at Newton Wellesley Hospital. At my initial assessment, Dr. Shifren walked me through every single step of the process and answered all the questions I could come up with. It only takes a quick google search to learn she's internationally recognized as one of the top physicians in her field of expertise and she's been published in more journals than I could count. What a google search doesn't tell you is how truly wonderful she is as a person. Dr. Shifren is so thoughtful, knowledgeable, transparent, upfront and honest. I never felt rushed at our appointments (virtual and in-person) and Dr. Shifren was by my side, from start to finish. She has a truly incredible team of nurses, technicians and administrators who keep you feeling positive throughout the journey and take great care of you at each appointment. After meeting with Dr. Shifren, I worked with her billing department to understand all the financial costs associated with the procedure and they gave me a very easy to understand price breakdown. A few months after our initial appointment it was March of 2022, and I was ready to go. At that time I started working very closely with Zuzana, her incredible nurse who was by my side for the next 2 weeks walking me through the process. Zuzana and her colleagues were very quick to respond to my emails with questions or concerns and always had all the answers right away. Once the process begins, you are going into their office at NWH anywhere from 2-4 times a week for blood draws and ultrasounds. All the ultrasound technicians are great and be sure to get your blood drawn by Grace, she will make your day every time you see her. I felt really taken care of on an emotional and physical level which is what you want and what you need to get through this process. My patient experience could not have been any better and I would highly recommend choosing Dr. Shifren and her team at NWH if you are looking into freezing your eggs. -Melissa

I saw Dr. Sakamuri for some irregular bleeding, she suggested I go back on birth control to stop…read morethe bleeding. when I told her I was not willing to because the side effects were too severe in the past, she was super rude and judgmental and said I "might as well be on prenatal vitamins" even though she knew I had no intention of getting pregnant. Perhaps there isn't another known solution for my irregular bleeding, but it's unacceptable to shame a patient like that. Like any drug, Birth control has side effects and women deserve to know the full truth so they can make educated choices on their own. Not be shamed or scared by their health care providers without proper information. Perhaps Sakamuri only cares to prescribe medications so she can cut herself a check. It's truly sad that myself and other women have to face this type of judgement in a space that is supposed to be safe for everyone to make informed decisions about their own bodies.

I was previously going to an OB in Brookline through B&W and I will have to say I prefer NW OBG/YN over B&W. NW OB/GYN's office is so much more inviting and relaxed and the staff here is really awesome. The wait can be long sometimes due to all of a sudden births but the staff keeps you updated and lets you know right away if there is a problem. Dr. Davis is a great doctor as well, when I first met her we went over my pregnancy, any questions I had and gave me great advice to my situation that I had. Appointments here are easy to get and the service is just great, even the nurses and the medical assistant's are wonderful as well. My previous office was so cold and uninviting that I am glad I changed and will stay at NW OB/GYN as long as I can!

I have been to Newton-Wellesley a few times and have had a great experience every time. I was…read morerecently rushed to the ER here with appendicitis (yuck!), and the ER overnight staff did a great job caring for me. They gave me a diagnosis within 4 hours and next steps despite not having a radiologist to read my results present (they outsourced). You'll notice people in the reviews will say you might be placed in the hallway, which was the case for me, but you will see that in every hospital. The ER is always overbooked and understaffed everywhere. Over the course of the night the staff regularly checked in on me, ran all of the necessary tests, and prepped me adequately for emergency surgery the next morning. The staff was truly exceptional, the surgical teams are incredible here. My surgery went flawlessly and they also did a great job with post-op follow ups, calling me promptly and scheduling my 2-week post op check in ASAP. During my surgery, they kept my contacts in the loop throughout the process. I thank everyone who helped me here at Newton-Wellesley and highly recommend choosing this hospital.
