High risk OB in Woburn/Burlington/Melrose/Wakefield/Winchester???

Hi Ladies!

 I am looking for recs of a female OBGYN in the Woburn/Burlington area.  I suppose she should be a high-risk Dr. , b/c a few weeks after the birth of my now baby, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.  Bedside manor and timely appts are HUGE pluses!!

 I used to go to NWH, but cannot make the commute there several times a week to see the Dr. for all of the additional appts and tests that go along with being diabetic and pregnant.

Thanks you SO MUCH!

    Hi,?

    ?I love my OB. She is chief of staff at BI. I can't tell you how happy I have been with her and her staff. (all women)?

    I am on my 2nd baby and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    ?

    Dr. Nada Samaha - 781-221-2940 _ burlington ma. harvard vanguard bldg.

    ?If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.?

    Good luck!?

    Thank you SO much !! 

    Did you see her at her practice, and then deliver at BI?  That would be perfect!

    I did call her receptionist and she said that she is only accepting new patients if they are pregnant.  Otherwise, I would have to see a nurse. Do you know if this is standard for high risk OB's?  Do you like the nurses?  How exactly does this practice work....it's all new to me!  ;)

     Thanks again, I really appreciate a recommendation!

    Hi there.

    I am so sorry I haven't checked this in awhile. I alternate appts between dr samaha and my assigned nurse practitioner. As for who you see first, not sure. My nurse practitioner is Joyce Callahan and she is very thorough.

    I am sure you will be happy there. The front desk crew just changed and they can be a little tough but hang in there. Dr Samaha is well worth the wait!

    Good Luck :O)?
