    I am so elated to have a new female Gynecologist. I was with my previous Brigham GYN for over thirty years until his retirement. I never thought I could find anyone of his caliber to fill the essential role he provided in my care. After a long arduous search I have found my new GYN. Dr. Hellerstein is the absolute best!

    Dr. Hellerstein is excellent. My only concern is that I had to change and the medical gown was not big enough. They should offer you two sizes to change into. After being uncomfortable for a while, I finally requested a larger gown.

    Dr Hellerstein seemed thoughtful and competent. It was my first visit with her, so my experience is limited.
