    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.

    I am a [redacted]-year-old cancer survivor from stage 3 colorectal cancer, and of all the doctors and care providers I've had to go to, I felt completely dismissed and my questions taken not seriously, and tests and things that I asked her for, she completely disregarded and told me to ask somebody else. I felt like I was taking up her time and bothering her, [redacted] I feel that, you know, patient-centered care is important, and I did not feel like I received that for this visit. [redacted]
