My current ob/gyn is in Brookline and with Beth Israel...which was great when I lived in Boston. Now, we live down in Taunton and I just went for my 1st appt. and really not enthused about making the trek up there and fighting traffic for the next 32 weeks. Especially where I will be going up every 4 weeks for U/S and regular appts., which won't always coordinate on the same day
. I was thinking of south shore hospital for delivery...I've heard both good and bad things, although I think I've heard both good and bad for every hospital in the area. I appreciate any feedback you might have!!
Re: Any OB recommendations in south shore area??
Crown OB/GYN has offices in Quincy, Brockton, and Pembroke. It is a great group of doctors and nurse practitioners, and they only deliver at South Shore Hospital.
I have used Crown as my doctors, pre-pregnancy, and absolutely love them. I was nervous at first when I found out that they only deliver at SSH because I too have heard mixed reviews about that hospital. After talking to my mother who works as a healthcare professional, I felt at ease knowing that most of the "bad" reviews from SSH had to do with the ER a few years back, and the reprecussion was that the hospital really had to step it up and make things better in order to stay open. Their maternity ward is amazing, and I have talked to a lot of people who delivered there that said they wouldn't have a baby anywhere else. Everyone I have come in contact with there has been really nice and helpful.
Pratt OB/GYN in quincy who is affilated with Tufts. They have several doctors in that office who are amazing.
Dr. Sullivan and Dr Daman. They are in Braintree. at Wood Road. They were affilated with Pratt but since have opened their own practice. Both of them actually were the main doctors for my pregnancy and they were wonderful!! They are affilated wtih South Shore Hospital.
