Seeking OB to Deliver on North Shore -- Need C-section

I am a patient at this practice and really like Dr Coffey. I have not had a good experience though with Dr Justine Gelinas - very poor bedside manner.

I am a patient at OB/GYN Associates of the North Shore and have been for several years. I enjoy the practice and had a c-section with one of the doctors there 15 months ago. As a patient of this practice they encourage us to see all the doctor's during your pregnancy. My doctor is John Gelinas and he is the one that delivered my son. I did have an opportunity to meet with Dr. Coffey once and on a personal level, I didn't care for him. The Midwife Patricia Malone is great too. Hope this helps.

I delivered two of my four children with Drs. from that group.
They were wonderful. The nurses, receptionist, everyone in that office was a pleasure to work with. I am not familiar
with Dr. Coffey since it has been awhile since my last baby.
I would recommend a visit to their office just to check it
out for yourself.

Hi A., I had that group deliver both of my boys. Dr. Coffey delivered my 2nd and it was a great delivery and faster recovery. The whole group is great, I never had a problem with any of them. I highly recommend them to everyone who gets pregnant around here. Good luck with the move and the new baby!!

I have heard the name and the practise I think has a good reputation. Not sure where you will be located in the boston area but I have always gone into Boston for my OB and delived at Brigham and Women's. It really is not that far and you are right where you need to be God forbid there are any unforseen issues. I use Dr. Rafik Mansour Boston Health Care for Women The office is a dump and you ALWAYS have to wait but he delivers all his patients' babies and has delivered my three!

A.,
I had my first with OB/GYN Assoc. and had a wonderful experience. All the Dr's are caring and answered all of our first-time parent questions. I had my son at Salem Hospital via planned C-Section and was happy with the experience.

A.,

I am about to deliver through this group and have had a very good experience so far. If I could have my pick of any of the OBs at the practice to do my delivery, it would be tough, but I'd have to choose between Dr. Coffey, John Gelinas, and Dr. Heller. They are all excellent doctors, technically and in their communication abilities. The rest of the staff there are excellent as well.

Best to you,
S.

Hi A.,
I had 2 C- Sections with Drs from that office. John Gelinas is my OB and I saw primarily him for all OB visits for both of my pregnancies. Unfortunately he did not deliver my first child as it was an unplanned C-section, but I booked my 2nd one with him for sure! HE is wonderful!! I really don't know Dr. Coffey, sorry to say, but in general I like the practice.
Good luck! Let me know when you move to the area. I'd be happy to meet you and help you get oriented to the area.

Dr. Coffey delivered my son, not a c section, but he was wonderful. I've been with this group for 10+ years, I've had great experience with them. Dr. Jones in this group is my doctor and I love her. Best of luck!!

I have lived on the north shore my whole life and have seen Dr. Coffey as well as many others in his practice. They are all wonderful. I have had both of my children by c-section and Dr. Heller from the same practice delivered both of them. I also see him for my yearly check-ups now that my childbirthing is over. I highly recommend anyone in the practice and hold both Dr. Coffey and Dr. Heller in high regard. Good luck. Feel free to email me with any other questions you have.
