Newton-Wellesley OB/GYN - Walpole

PediRN3115

Hi everyone,

 

Brand new here, not pregnant (yet) but looking into OBGYN practices in my area. Fairly certain I would like to stick with Newton-Wellesley affiliation just because I know what rush hour traffic into Boston can be like first hand. (though open to other suggestions). The Newton- Wellesley OBGYN practice that has an office in Walpole and Newton (at the hospital) caught my eye for location reasons. Any thoughts/experiences? Thanks!!

I went to newton Wellesley OBGYN. 7th floor in hospital office. I went to dr. Metcalf. She gets right down to business so come prepared with questions for your appointments. I really liked her. I had my baby on July 17. Metcalf was off that day so dr. Angle delivered. That's what tends to happen with bigger practices. She was also fabulous! Good luck!

I go to that practice (I go to the NWH office) and Dr. Dolinger is my OB.  I like her good enough, she takes time to answer my (long) list of questions every visit.  But like PP said, she kind of expects the patients to be moderately informed about pregnancy, so if you don't have Qs, the visits are super short (like <5mins).  My appts are mostly on time though I usually take the first or second appt of the day.  Reception & Nsg staff are nice as well.

We took the childbirth class a few weeks ago (via the office, not the hospital) and it was very well done.  We also toured the maternity unit and it's a v nice set-up.

In that particular office, I think Dr. Konig is the fav among pts.  I originally wanted Dr. Attanucci to be my OB but she was going on maternity leave soon then (she now had her baby), so I ended up picking Dr. Dolinger.

GL!

I use this practice. I have Dr. Konig. She's fantastic...very patient understanding. I had a miscarriage in March 2011 so when I was pregnant again that July I was understandably nervous. She let me come in for extra appointments so that my husband I were reassured that everything was okay. When I went into labor Dr. Konig was just getting off duty. She still came in to check me. She wasn't there for the actual delivery Dr. Wolfberg delivered my baby but she came to my room during my stay to check on us. I highly recommend this practice...specifically Dr. Konig.

I also go to this practice and have Dr. Dolinger, and I like her.  When I had some complications and had to spend some time at Brigham and Women, she called to make sure everything was okay.  I've met most of the docs in the practice and they're great.  I love Dr. Angel, but she wasn't accepting new patients at the time.

Also, not all of the docs in that practice go to Walpole.  Dr. Dolinger is there once a week, and Dr. Davis is there a lot.  A couple others are too, but not everyone.

I go to Dedham Medical been going there for almost 10 years. They have offices in Dedham and Norwood and next year they're moving into the new building on route 1. Their staff is wonderful and I have a lot of friends who go there. They all deliver at NWH.

I've been going to Dr. Konig for years.  She's very even keeled, easy to talk to, and very thorough.  Highly recommend!
