FemaleAbout Rebecca Kolp
I am a general Obstetrician/Gynecologist. I see both gynecologic and obstetric patients in the Waltham office location. I am honored to have been selected to serve as the Medical Director at MGH West since 2003.
I spent eight years training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I completed both medical school and residency. I graduated from Johns Hopkins in 1999. I came to the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2001 as an Attending Physician.
I have always believed that each patient deserves to be treated as I would wish my mother or sister to be treated. For that reason, I strive to provide the absolute best care to each of my patients. I take care of obstetrical patients, including those with multiple pregnancies, advanced maternal age, and those desiring a vaginal delivery after a Cesarean section. My goal is for each patient to have the delivery she wants, while ensuring her safety as well as the safety of her baby.
I also take care of gynecologic patients with a wide variety of problems including, but not limited to, difficulties with menses, fibroids, abnormal pap smears, ovarian cysts, a family history of gynecologic disorders, for birth control, vaginal discharge, etc. I provide both the medical and surgical solutions patients require to improve these conditions. I attempt always to provide this care with the compassion I would wish for myself.
Throughout my career, I have been an active teacher and instructor. I think that my greatest contribution to residents and medical students as a teacher is to convey to them the importance of this level of compassion and to teach them the operative skills necessary to be great surgeons.
Outside of my clinic hours I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and exploring new places. I also love good books and exercising.

I love this practice and the people who work there. They came in after the big snow storm with energy, no complaints, and brought food for each other. Dr Kolp is always thorough, caring and a wonderful person.

Dr. Kolp is one of the best care providers I have, and is consistently kind, personable, respectful, and conscientious. She treats the annual checkups almost like a regular physical, in that she follows up about all aspects of health (ie monitoring all the routine screening exams an internist would).

Dr. Kolp is the best. She basically saved my life 13 years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer. She got me in early, and I firmly believe that because she saw me so early, that's why I was able to have a low-stage cancer. And I refuse to go to anyone else but her for the last 13 years for follow-up. She's as kind as she is smart and competent, and her expertise is amazing. She's a wonderful person and a wonderful doctor. and I would highly recommend her to anybody.

I love Dr. Kolp. I'll always be grateful for her help when a PET scan done [redacted] showed intense signal in the R chest wall. Not knowing whom to call, I called her and she set me right up with surgical oncologist Dr. [redacted]. A month later I was status post bilateral mastectomy [redacted]. Without Dr. Kolp and her team's help I don't think I would have been able to get definitive treatment that quickly.

Dr Rebecca Kolp is by far the best OB/GYN one could ask for. She has been with me through complicated prenatal care, the birth of my twin girls, & then my son.... & the many ups & downs of life over the last 20+ years. She is not only an exceptionally wonderful physician, but also is the most conscientious & kind human being who goes above and beyond at all times. Dr Becky Kolp genuinely cares about all aspects of one's life & the "realness" of her caring nature shines through her like a beacon in the night. She has really made a difference in my life, and I'm absolutely sure that many others would say the same. From the bottom of my heart ... Thank you so very much Becky!!!
