Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN — Cheshire

I have been a patient of CT Coastal OBGYN for almost 20 years and have had no complaints! From my first visits at 16 years old and being provided birth control, to having my son delivered unplanned (not emergency) C-section in 2024 and now seeing routinely again for another healthy pregnancy due in January- I would recommend this practice to anyone and have in the past! It is a large practice so if you are being seen for prenatal care, just be aware you will likely meet and see many different nurses and midwives during that span of time. Some people don't like that they don't see the same staff every time but I enjoy it as I get to meet every one that might possibly assist to deliver my baby. Recently I've been seeing Midwife Shagnyne Samuels and she is wonderful! She is informative, comfortable, professional and funny!

There should be an option of zero stars based on my wife's experience with Francoise Boubert. Where to even begin. First, she refused to treat my wife's UTI, despite a positive urine culture and presence of symptoms. Second, she made an already stressful move exponentially more difficult with her dereliction of her responsibility. Without going into specifics, she is denying potentially life-saving treatment by not allowing my wife to undergo a chest x-ray ordered by another provider, as OB clearance was required (you know, given the pregnancy). However, multiple well-regarded sources consider a chest x-ray safe during pregnancy, including the American Pregnancy Association, the FDA, and the Mayo Clinic, just naming a few. Is her expertise magically greater than theirs? I doubt it. In medical school, students are taught to not be paternalistic, as well as a duty to treat competently. She fails on both of these tenets. Literally go anywhere else but here.
