Brenda Coutinho's Online Review Report Card

Excellent Doctor!!! I’ve been to some of the best gynecologists in Brookline and in Newton, with one retiring and the last one passing away I was referred to Dr. Coutinho from a friend , all I can say is I am so happy, she has been wonderful not only is she very smart and knowledgeable in her field she’s also caring, sensitive and always takes her time and answers all my questions and makes me feel so comfortable !!!! I’m so glad I found her!!! I sent my daughter to her and she felt the same way now my mother is going to go to her also!!!

I must disagree with the other reviews about Dr. Coutinho. She may run a few minutes late but maybe she’s spending a little extra time with the crying patient before you or returning a call from a nervous woman going into labor. I had the same on/gyn for more than 30 years, he delivered my daughters and my grandson so you can imagine I didn’t want a new MD. I waited in his waiting room sometimes for ...

Ultimate professional. Excellent care.

Very personable. Asks pertinent questions. Listens intently and gives great advice.

I have been a patient of Dr Coutinho for 16 years and I couldn't imagine having someone else as my OBGYN. She's amazing! She is always kind, patient, honest and genuinely an awesome human being. I recommend her to all my friends. Esmerelda

Do not see her. RUN, your baby will develop a whole host of health problems because she doesn't care. She does not have the heart for practicing medicine. Always super late, not allowed to ask questions so mean I went to another doctor after delivery. The nurse practitioner was better than her. I am not even sure why she was needed. I had an in house doctor to deliver and NP followed me the whole time. I wished I had not seen her, I might have been better cared for, without having to deal with child's health.

Heart so rotten should never practice medicine. Always super late for appointment leaving less than 5 mins for interaction, not allowed to ask questions and prescribed mega doses of unnecessary antibiotics causing offspring develop so many food allergies and eczema. Thank you TRACY F IF, SUE F WONG for spreading rumors and hurt an innocent child who did nothing but love everyone. With tons of health issues because of a stupid unprofessional md and nasty women like you who are so jealous to a point to hurt an innocent child.

ZERO star if possible. Nastiest doctor you could ever meet. Not allowed to ask questions, always super late for an appointment and unnecessarily prescribed mega doses of antibiotics causing offspring developing tons of allergy. RUN- and get second opinion before you take any medicine from her. With a heart like this, should never practice medicine. Sue WONG you are the nastiest woman that would ...

Dr Coutinho is a disrespectful. If you are not in tip top condition weight wise she will tell you all the tests you will require during your pregnancy before you are 12 weeks along and even have a chance to prove you are healthy. I went on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and should have listened to my gut when I felt like this was a discriminating protocol. She is money hungry and won't recommend ...

Dr Coutinho is a disrespectful and fake. If you are not in tip top condition she will tell you all the tests you will require during your pregnancy before you are 12 weeks along. I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and should have listened to my gut when I felt like this was a discriminating protocol. She is money hungry and won't recommend you see someone else if your beliefs don't match up. She said things like " due to your BMI you will need weekly non stress tests because you won't be able to feel your baby move at the end of your pregnancy", " an easy c-section is better than a hard labor", "why would you suffer? that's what they make epidurals for", when I asked her if she was going to sweep my membranes when she checked me she responded " you should be so lucky, that means you're dilating". I have heard from staff that she makes them cry, she has a high c-section rate which is what ended up with due to her lack of giving me information about my babies positioning. I believe my c-section could have been prevented but as I have mentioned c-sections are quick and easy for her and her colleagues.
