Recommendation for OB/GYN at Brigham and Women's

etbradley12 · July 2013

I live in Southern NH and my local doctor does not do triplet pregnancies. I really want to go to Brigham and Women's in Boston, but do not have many connections there. Dr. Rafik Mansour came recommended from a nurse at the hospital. Can anyone recommend a doctor at B&W from personal experience?

Thank you

I would try your local board. This is a nation wide forum :

Local boards are super slow and there a number of Boston area MoMs on here.

OP, I don't have any suggestions, but are you totally set on Brigham? We've been pleased with our Beth Israel docs.

Have you tried checking with your local MoMs club? I know there is one in Nashua and 20 in MA.

Not from the area, but the local MoMs clubs in my area were (and still are) a fantastic resource. One of the MoMs I hardly knew ended up (unexpectedly, and so kindly) setting up a Meal Baby registry for me when the girls arrived so early -- which was a god send. If anything, it's been a great community of parents who "get it" -- since the world of multiples is SO different (chaotic) versus the world of parent of singletons.

Word of warning -- some have mentioned that their MoMs clubs either came across as clique-y and such -- so they are (like anything with large groups of women), hit or miss depending on personality meshing.

I don't have any contacts at B&W but . . . .

For my DS (singleton) I had an amazing experience at Southern NH Medical Center. My OB was in the Generations practice there at the hospital and they team up with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua for high-risk patients. I saw a wonderful MFM there for my A/S. And all the offices are right there on main street in Nashua.

We've moved back to MA since and now with my twins both my OB and MFM work out of Newton-Wellesley hospital and they've been absolutely wonderful.

I am in Worcester MA and my regular OB does not do mo/di twins, but I still see him for routine things and then have a specialist for the extra monitroing. My mfm is Dr. Takoudes and she is AWESOME, but she admits out of Beth Isreal in Boston. Here is the website for her group Boston MFM: https://www.bostonmfm.org/

Most of the doctors in her group have extensive experience with multiples and their credentials are all really impressive. I'm not sure if they all admit to Beth Iseral, there maybe be other practitioners in her practice that admit to Brigham and Women's.

I live up near the Tatnuck area, kind of north-western corner of Worcester - almost on the Holden line. I work right near Marlborough though - right across the highway from the Solomons Pond Mall!

Dr. Rodriguez Boston MFM

I didn't go to a MFM but I used the Brigham OBGYN group for bothmy pregnancies. Their office is right near the hospital in Chestnut Hill. They would have referred e to a MFM if I had any complications with my di/di twin pregnancy. My absolute favorite OB just left the practice to train as a high risk OB at Wash U after my girls were born but all the docs there are good. I have had all good experiences at B&W hospital. GL!

I was just there over the weekend-short cervix

Anyway, I only saw an official dr for 4minutes the day I arrived. Otherwise it was all residents, etc. Nothing wrong with that, just don't expect too personal of an experience in an emergency in a big hospital in Boston. They all know what they are doing though Some OBs work w mfms in high risk pgs. I have a reg OB on the North Shore and I go to MFM at Mass General (they have a Danvers location) for u/s. The MFM is the one who sent me to BW after detecting short cervix. GL!
