I asked her what her plans were and when she told me she was opening a practice at Inner Balance well there was no options for me but to follow her there. She is the finest Gynecologist I have ever had the "pleasure" of seeing. Lets face it having a pap isn't the ideal way of spending the day. But she knows her stuff so to speak; Gentle, kind, extremely knowledgeable and always there to answer any questions you might have. I always have questions, some of them have been laughable. Bottom line Dr. Arnold is the greatest and having been introduced to Inner Balance was an extra plus.

I was having daily crippling pain in my pelvis for a year to the point I could not work. After an excision surgery in Boston to find the cause, my pain was only slightly better. I stumbled upon Inner Balance and was on a path to healing. I had a tight and dysfunctional pelvic floor, pelvis and low back from years of bracing due to stress and pain. I have a home routine and visit twice a week as well as see Dr. Arnold who has a realistic and individualized approach to treating women's pain. I am off all medication (including hormonal BC) and my pain is controlled. Now if the pain comes I now own the pain instead of it owning me and can address it with the tools I have been given by these awesome women. A great comfortable atmosphere, a wonderful place to feel safe and start your healing.

Dr. Robbins is an expert in endometriosis excision, only 1 in about 100 in the world. He does not…read moreaccept insurance, so he is out of network and therefore more expensive than other gynecological surgeons. However, he has a track record of 86% of endometriosis patients not needing follow-up surgeries. This is possible due to his ability to remove tissue from major organs and structures - he takes his time to accomplish this (my surgery was over 7 hours). Other surgeons use ablation and/or need to perform laparotomies to work with the intestines, but Dr. Robbins has the skill to perform major surgery laproscopically. This cuts recovery time in half and limits complications. Dr. Robbins is also very gentle and patient, and he likes to educate his patients about their disease - you won't find other surgeons who take the time. He prides himself on evolving his technique after 30 years of experience, as well as for listening to his patients. For endometriosis patients with a history of poor treatment, missed diagnoses, and being brushed off, Dr. Robbins will feel like a miracle.

He has been doing this along time and it is beyond proficient and detailed. Recently, I had an urgent episode, a twisted ovary-excrucitatingly painful.

I am so impressed by his work that I realized that not all surgeons are alike even if they are doing the "same" procedure.

UPDATED: I cannot say enough great things about the birth…read morecenter and midwives here as well as our team at the hospital It has been a very long journey through the birth so let me just explain our story. I planned on having our baby as a water birth at the birth center but she had her own plan. 9/26/19 Wednesday 9:00PM: My water broke as we were just about to head to bed so then I headed to the hospital because I'm GBS positive and I had to start penicillin. Could not go the birth center because it's closed at night so we spent the night at the hospital but Esther (one of the midwives from the birth center) was at the hospital and checked on us regularly. I Started having minor contractions during our stay overnight. 9/27 Thursday 7:00 AM- moved over to the birth center with Chelsea and Lisa and was only having minor contractions so I took Cytotec around noon and began active labor. Tried laboring at the birth center until 5:00PM but I was only 1CM dilated so then we moved back to the hospital because the birth center closed up again. At the hospital, the Contractions became insanely strong so I opted for the epidural even though I had planned to go without. Friday 4:30AM: Got to 9 1/2 cm dilated but the baby was in a bit of an off position so we tried and inversion for a half hour to see if we could get her to shift. She did shift but I was still Missing that .5 cm so we tried to push to see if she could get by but she just wouldn't come out. The midwives finally suggested that I get a C-section because this baby was just not having it this way as it had been about 34 hours and I just couldn't do anymore. Got the C-section at 9:00 AM. Alexa, one of the midwives, held my hand through the surgery and the surgeons were telling me jokes while I was getting operated on to help keep my mind off of what was happening. Juliana was born at 9:23 AM and we found out she had Had the cord wrapped around her neck three times. There was a lot of moving back-and-forth between the birth center in the hospital but we had such an incredible team at both places that I didn't really care. All of the doctors and nurses at the hospital were awesome an as were all of the midwives from the birth center. I am still currently at the hospital recuperating for another few days but the midwives have continued to come over and check on me as well. The nurses at the hospital have been amazing and have been so helpful in teaching us how to take care of our baby and breast-feeding. I could not have asked for a better team.

I love the North Shore Birth Center. Really…read more For the first half of my pregnancy, I was going to my OB (who is fabulous!) because I wanted to make sure I was not going to be high-risk, etc. But from the beginning, I knew that I did NOT want a hospital birth so I was planning on switching from my OB at some point. I just wasn't sure to where. I debated back and forth between homebirth midwives, the Cambridge Birth Center, and the North Shore Birth Center. And ultimately, I ruled out homebirth just because my insurance wouldn't cover it (something that really really pisses me off). I went for a meet and greet night at the NSBC and they had me at hello. From 20 weeks on, I met with the midwives on a regular basis. They were all super friendly, and by the time my due date was imminent, I had met with all but two of the midwives at some point. A week before my due date, I went into prodromal labor and spent 12 hours there before things stopped progressing and they sent me home. But the midwives with me that night were so incredibly supportive and helpful, so I knew when the real thing actually happened, I'd be in good hands. They even called me a few times during that week to see how things were going. The following weekend, I found myself back at the NSBC, this time in active labor. Luckily I was once again with the midwife with whom I felt most comfortable, since I had met with her more often than the others. I got to the NSBC at 2:45 a.m., and by 11:15 a.m. I had myself a baby. The midwives who attended my birth were absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better birth experience. They really helped me have the birth that I had envisioned for myself. It was a very difficult experience, but it was rewarding and I felt on top of the world by the time things were over. A few days later, I ended up back in the hospital because of some serious post-partum complications, but again the midwives were so wonderful. They visited me every day, answering my questions openly and honestly, and they never let me feel like I was alone during the most trying period of my life. I feel so lucky to have had my daughter in such a positive environment with such fabulous women at my side. And if I ever have another child, I can't imagine going anywhere other than the NSBC.
