I called to schedule a first pregnancy appointment with Dr. Okamura…read more The office staff informed me that she likes to review new patient requests herself, and decide based on her schedule and patient information whether to take on the patient. They sent her an email with my information, and told me to expect a response the next day. I never received a response. I called every day for a week asking for an update, and every day the answer was that she hasn't gotten around to her email yet. Eventually, I called another practice that scheduled me *on the spot* for an 8 week ultrasound the following week, and an 11 week in office visit with an award winning highly regarded doctor.

I can't say anything about the doctor, because when I have the problem, I was unable to get an…read moreappointment with her. When I scheduled a appointment, it was postponed to another day without anyone telling me about it. The second time I came for an appointment, but they told me that my visit was not on that day, but on some other day 2 weeks later, although the letter from them indicated the time and date of the day when I came to them and no I never received any other letter.Nobody wants to solve the problem, the staff turns around and leaves. Terrible management. I waited in pain for 2 weeks, but today my appointment was rescheduled again. Managers don't send reminders. How important it is for a woman to solve her pain problem in a short time, and not wait 2 weeks and it's not a fact that you'll see a doctor. They will schedule an appointment for you and you will never know until they call you and tell you that you missed your appointment. Complete mess.

I have been Susan Mann's patient for more than 30 years--first at Harvard Vanguard in Cambridge and…read morewhen she left there I followed her to Brookline. When I had serious symptoms that could not be explained she persisted in running tests, even though they were all coming back negative. It turned out that I did have a malignant tumor but thanks to her persistence it was stage 1 and I did not need any further treatment after my surgery. That's what a great doctor does.

I have been a patient of Dr. Susan Mann's for almost 8 years and she has expertly, kindly, and…read morepatiently seen me through two high risk pregnancies to deliver healthy, full-term babies. She put my mind at ease many times and despite having a busy practice, she always listened to and carefully answered all of my questions. She takes the time to get to know her patients and I have always felt that she genuinely has my best interest in mind. I appreciate her rational, practical, and common sense approach. However, she's serious and ultra-cautious when it comes to looking after her patients. At the end of both pregnancies, my blood pressure was high and she was very firm and clear about how serious it was. She had me come back in to see her every other day until I delivered to make sure the baby and I were okay. I have been so insistent on having Dr. Mann as my doctor that I kept driving all the way to Cambridge for my second pregnancy, even though we had moved 30 minutes away. Just recently, she moved her office to Brookline and I am driving even further because I trust her implicitly and can't imagine going to another ob/gyn!

She was SO judgemental and arrogant and it really turned the situation sour for me. Even networking with the anesthesiologist while performing the C section as if I was invisible and not even there. So unprofessional , I can't even believe it happened. After the birth, nurses on the maternity floor came in and shared information that was private with me that Dr Hardiman had absolutely no medical reason to share. I did complain to social service nurse but probably should have followed up with HIPPA filing. With infant there's too much going on, so never did, but I regret having to experience baby's birth with her. I

Dr. Zinner might be fine for obstetrical care, but I don't trust her with gynecological care.

Both of these were overlooked and I was made to feel hypochondriacal because I wanted further testing. I changed physicians and was treated professionally for both cancers.

After the recommendations and reviews from Yelp, I called Dr. Zinner and made an appointment…read more Wow, I love her! She saw me quickly, and sat me in her office going over my history, before launching into the examine. She made me feel very comfortable and was very personable. While waiting in her waiting room, I was surrounded by all these pregnant mothers, and they all seemed very happy and confident with her treatment, so that made me feel better, as well. BTW, she is taking new clients again! I will be recommending her to every woman I know, who needs a new GYN. I hope she someday becomes aware of her fan following at Yelp!

I was seeing her for a recurring issue which she assured me she would be able to tackle after I explained that I had seen many gynos for this same condition and didn't want to be put on the same meds again. she said she would work with me to figure out a different approach and then never did. After the first appointment she told me she would do some more research on new meds and alternative treatments for my symptoms, but the second appointment rolled around, and she started the appointment with "why are you here again?" she didn't remember me and also failed to read my paperwork beforehand or do the research she meant to do-- she asked me if I had my year exam and I said yes I literally just had it done with her the week before. she started to piece it together and said she would do the research she previously promised and get back to me-- this went on for multiple appointments-- all of which I was fully charged for which was very upsetting-- i felt like I was being strung along, she'd book another appointment and fail to have any answers by the time it would roll around just to ask me to book another one. she was very kind but ultimately unhelpful and unprofessional. I also want to add that the portal system they use is really convoluted and confusing, messages I sent through the portal often were not responded to, and on the flip side I happened to have an outstanding balance on there that I was never notified about (no phone, email, or text reminders!) other than it just sitting there under a different tab which also felt kind of strange.

Fast forward a few days later and I arrive for my appointment and was greeted by reception and Amanda was fabulous and made my first appointment easy. The MAs were great too. Then, I met the NP and it all went downhill from there. The NP has terrible bedside manner. I was met with a judging demeanor and was pushed to get on birth control and not even warned with any of the side effects and she didn't really care that I wasn't interested in it. Later she called me to give me my results and her tone was almost sarcastic , it really upset me. I think NP Brianna can use some lessons on how to treat patients with respect.

Her bedside manner is great - she never acts rushed while she's with you, she gives you ample opportunity to ask questions or express concerns, and she works hard to learn about you. I didn't expect to have such a personal experience at this city hospital. She learned my family and living situations and kept them in mind for all our future conversations. She even asked about a vacation she knew I'd been planning when I hadn't seen her in over a month. When I was in labor, she was the doctor on call and I was so pleased that she could be there for the delivery. I ended up delivering about 45 minutes after her 12-hour shift ended but she stayed so that she could be present with me for the delivery. I would very highly recommend Dr. Lauren Elyse Hanley.

She's also super funny, warm, kind, and completely puts you at ease. I am a scientist so read her pathology report afterwards, which she kindly provided.
