Commonwealth OB-GYN

I love all the doctors, they are all highly competent and experienced. Especially Dr. Leigh is so caring and patient. I trust her so much and feel incredibly blessed that she is my provider. Sometimes when I read her long answers to my endless questions, I feel like talking to my mom. She is also so hardworking and I can really rely on her. Love this practice!

I had a very positive pregnancy and birth experience with Commonwealth OB/GYN. We met and worked with all of the doctors throughout pregnancy, and felt very comfortable with whoever was on call at the time of our birth it happened to be Dr. Leigh, who provided excellent care and a calm and helpful presence in our birth room. A few things I appreciated about the practice were 1. Responsiveness - every time I sent a question through patient gateway I received a response usually from one of the OBs almost immediately or within a few hours. 2. Inclusion of other care types - the practice works with an ultrasound practice and a lab in the same building and schedules those appts for you, so prenatal care is all in the same place 3. Inclusion of my husband in appointments 4. Standard of care to only do testing/interventions that are necessary. I had no "routine" ultrasounds past the anatomy scan or cervical checks near the end of pregnancy. The practice felt to me like it has a philosophy of only completing tests/interventions if they are warranted - which I appreciated in both my prenatal care and delivery.

Absolutely amazing doctors, nurses and staff! I not only felt heard in my concerns, but I felt supported in my care. I was diagnosed with a pregnancy complication and required home care. The way they coordinated with insurance and other medical providers to ensure I receive the resources I needed in a timely manner not only made me feel like a priority, I felt as if I was treated like family! Wow! 5 stars is not enough.

Beware of this practice! In my opinion and my new OB’s opinion, they suggested early induction to work with their schedule rather than what was best for my child and myself. I was told that unfortunately this is a new trend with some OB’s. Furthermore be wary of Dr. Petty John. She was not my doctor during pregnancy but unfortunately was on when it came time to induce. I had to excuse her from my care during the induction process at the Brigham. Completely unprofessional and rude. I had to ask nurses for new care and I switched to a new team at the Brigham mid birth process - she is THAT terrible, as a human being and as a doctor. She was visibly UPSET my induction was moving slowly and said things like, “You have wasted our time” “We can’t waste a room on you” “You are too comfortable” On top of that, she never introduced herself to my husband or doula, and even threatened to move me out of my labor and delivery room and send me back to triage if I didn’t choose the interventions she wanted. The final straw was she woke me from sleep I hadn’t slept in two days to break my water further, “hopefully this will get things moving”. It was at that point I broke down in tears and demanded a doctor that cared. I am now almost three weeks postpartum and the office has yet to follow up with me at all. That is bad medicine. Stay away from this practice if you want a good birth experience.

I had a great experience at Commonwealth OBGYN. I especially liked Dr. Ackerman, Dr. Parker, Ms. Sayegh and Ms. Shulman. They responded to my messages and solved my problems promptly. In the first few weeks after I enrolled at Commonwealth, I had lots of questions about pregnancy; Dr. Parker answered each of my questions in great detail. The staff were also super efficient and helpful. Whenever I had to do an ultrasound or a lab test, they would schedule the appointment for me. I later transferred to a different OB practice due to job relocation. They do not schedule ultrasound or lab appointments for me. Then I realized how great it was that the provider could just schedule the appointments for me.

Very unpleasant and unprofessional OBGYN practice. They run >30 minutes to 1 hour behind for my appointments. Even during a first pregnancy, they come in the room and ask if you have questions and don't do any exam or give you an overview of what to expect or avoid. When taking urine specimens, they give you a dixie cup without a lid and have you write your name on the specimen with the sharpie. I am switching doctors. I expected much more from this practice.

My experience at Commonwealth OB-GYN was absolutely wonderful, and I recommend this team of physicians wholeheartedly. They offer such high quality, thorough, empathetic, and personalized care. My experiences with Dr. Randi Leigh and the whole team far surpassed a 5-star rating!

Dr. O'Connor is the best, she takes her time with you and makes sure that your problems are answered and fixed and makes going to the gynecologist not so bad, because it's not exactly the most pleasant appointment to go to. She knows all the most up to date health and information and helped me find birth control that worked best for me and follows up appropriately. I travel all the way from CT to see her because she was my doctor here and I followed her to the new practice. Can't wait for her to be there on my journey of having babies in the future! The phone staff I talked to was also very pleasant and helped navigate me to give all my demographics with a service then make my appointment after.

This office has been great. From the front desk to the PA the doctors. Zero wait time and very flexible hours. At the office had a chance to work with Dr. Leigh and Dr. Pettyjohns. My delivering doctor was Dr. O'Connor and she was extremely supportive through out the whole process. Overall, I am super happy I found this office for my pregnancy. All of the doctors were supportive and always answered all my questions and reassured me.

Dr. Parker was great! I don't have a simple health history and she took the time to really understand and speak with me about my health. She was thorough and very friendly. We have high standards when choosing doctors and Dr. Parker definitely hits the mark. I also had very good experiences with the office staff. Would definitely recommend.
