Dear Dr. Jackson; I am very happy to find out that you are still delivering and welcoming babies into this world. I know that you will remember me even though its been more than 38 and 40 years since you delivered my two daughters, Michelle and Christine. I will never forget the excellent medical and personal care you gave me. I was 26 and 27 years old when I gave birth to my precious daughters. It was also very comforting having a neighborhood midwife nurse assisting you with my labor and delivery. I've often wondered if you have retired or are still practicing. I was watching a segment on Chronicle tonight about childbirth and decided to search the Internet to find out. There you are with your Brookline office and good old St. Elizabeth's Hospital. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again for the excellent care you gave me during my pregnancies and deliveries so many years ago. Michelle is my firstborn and is an Oncology nurse at St. Vincent Cancer Center and Christine works for the Department of Defense. Best Regards; Laurie Sordillo Marlborough MA Formally from Allston and worked at HMS read more

She's only the most amazing doctor I've come across in all my years. A ObGyn specialist and certainly a radical in her field. She is someone who took about 90 minutes with me on my first visit. getting to know my history patiently and explaining every detail of what she needed to do and why. I felt like I was in a classroom with a really wise teacher. Very gentle, very experienced in her work, has absolutely amazing bedside manner, anticipates your questions and anxst. I told her that she was the most unusual practitioner I had ever been to, especially in this country -- where time is money. She replied that she wasn't going to be bound by the inhumanity of the insurance system. and would practice as she needed to practice - providing healthcare -- even though she might piss off the powers that be. My kind of doctor. read more

This is the WORST doctor I have ever been to in my life-and that includes having seen a doctor who accidentally pinched me with a speculum (ouch). I went in for an annual exam, and told the secretary that I would like also like a prescription for birth control. She scheduled an appointment for the following week, and I thanked my lucky stars that I could get in so quickly. I should've known things were amiss if I could in so quickly. They sat me down and had me fill out the usual intake form. Then Dr. Jackson had me come to her office on the back of her old, dirty building and spent an hour reviewing the information with me....um, I just filled it out, I think I know what I wrote. While doing this, she informed me that she does not write birth control prescriptions. Well, this would've been nice to know when I booked the appointment, I would've seen someone else, but I could not leave as she was already charging me for an office visit and insurance only covers one annual a year. During the appointment, she made awful comments, insinuating that those had sex before marriage were slutty, drugs were evil and that I was overweight. While the appointment was bad enough, I still have not gotten my test results back yet. It's been a month. I have however, gotten the bill. Because the secretary spelled my name wrong, I am being charged $300 for test results. When I called to ask for results and complain about the misspelling of my name and the fact that I had not even gotten the results back yet, the secretary told me "well Dr. Jackson is busy. Can you call back? All you need to do is call Quest Diagnostics and they'll fix it." How about you DO YOUR JOB AND SPELL MY NAME RIGHT??? OR SEND ME MY RESULTS?!?! So thank you Dr. Jackson. Not only did you waste my time, but still a month later I have to deal with your dumb-assness. Thanks for all that! read more

I wish I could give zero - even negative - stars. I didn't even get in to see the woman because I was told on the phone that she would not see patients FOR ANYTHING if they used a certain type of birthcontrol that she does not prescribe. REALLY?! A radical in her field? The only thing radical is that she doesn't give [potential] patients the opportunity to even have an appointment before she casts them out of her clientele. Wow. read more

I had to make an appointment with Dr. Helen Jackson ONLY because my OBGYN was on vacation. It was an emergency situation. Dr. Jackson called me on the day I was to see her for a potentially serious problem to rudely cancel our appointment. She could not have been more dismissive or cold. I agree with a previous review. This woman should get NEGATIVE STARS and not allowed to practice. LRC read more

After getting off work early and sitting in the waiting room for 1 full hour past my appointment time, I was finally called. The doctor was rude. Long story short, I stated that my appointment was cancelled and left. Terrible experience. read more

I have to say I agree with the first poster. She's been my doctor for over 10 years, and I wouldn't trade her for anyone. The office is old school, as is her approach. In fact, I just called today, a Saturday, to leave a message about a development and she was there, answered the phone, and spoke with me for 20 minutes. read more

Dr. Jackson is THE BEST ob/gyn I've ever had. What doctor sits down with you for an hour to discuss your health and individual concerns or questions? Not the doctors I'm used to. She is kind, gentle and empathetic. Her experience is far beyond most and she has treated well-known world leaders. She is extremely humble and does not boast about that nor does she compete with other doctor's offices. If she isn't on time for an appointment it is because she is with a patient who needs her; whether it's giving someone extra time or delivering a baby. I know other doctors offices you wait and wait and you see the doctor for 10 mins. I've personally never have waited for Dr. Jackson but if I did, I know she would commit to giving me her time and that full hour of making sure I am healthy as she does with me every time. She goes beyond gynecological health, she reviews holistic health like your relationships, your career, your beliefs because it is all connected. To me, that's the kind of dr. I want to go to and one who still takes insurance. She is aware of my past history with the birth control pill and I came off of it before I saw her for the first time. I ammend her because of staying true to her beliefs and not supporting the pill because it is harmful to woman. If you ask her about Natural Family Planning, she'll take the time to help you find someone to teach you the natural method without contraception. I use NFP now with my husband and it has been 100% effective for two years up to date. I have only good things to say about Dr. Jackson and I recommend her to anyone who is open to experiencing a Dr.'s visit outside of the norm but a visit that will benefit your body greatly. read more

I'm in tears from happiness now finding out Dr. Jackson is still in practice. I went to her when I was living in Boston in 1975 through 1981. Up to this day she changed my life for the better. I will NEVER forget her as long as I live. I had so many problems back then and even though she's a GYN, she advised me on everything I wanted to talk about. I'm a professional singer and was very vain about my looks. When she weighed me I was 86 lbs. I got a good lecture from her. This is putting it into a nutshell. I can write a whole book about my experiences with Dr. Jackson. If you are reading this Dr. Jackson, I want you to know, you are always in my heart. A 1000+ stars from me. read more

I just brought my sixteen year old daughter for her first visit. Dr. Jackson is a breath of fresh air in this day and age. She gave us an hour of her time, was patient, kind and very thorough. read more
