Frequently Asked Questions

What makes About Women By Women different from other OB/GYN practices?

We’re an all-female team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses who combine clinical expertise with lived experience. We listen carefully, respond quickly, and provide care that supports your physical and emotional well-being at every stage of life.

Do you offer same-day appointments?

Yes. We keep same-day slots open for established patients needing urgent OB or GYN care, so you can avoid unnecessary urgent-care visits.

Do you offer in-office testing or ultrasounds?

Yes. Most of our offices offer in-office labs to help streamline your care and provide faster results. OB and GYN ultrasounds, as well as non-stress tests for OB patients, are available at our Wellesley office.

Do you offer contraception and family planning services?

Absolutely. We offer personalized birth control counseling, in-office IUD and Nexplanon insertions (with local anesthesia), and ongoing reproductive health support.

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy?

Yes. We provide both hormone and non-hormone options for perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

What hospitals do you partner with for deliveries?

Our physicians deliver babies and perform procedures at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, providing continuity of care from office visits through delivery.

At what age should someone have their first gynecology visit?

We typically recommend a first gynecology visit between ages 18 and 21, or sooner if there are menstrual, pelvic, or health concerns. The first visit is focused on education, not an exam, unless needed.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients across all four of our locations in the Metro West area: Wellesley, Natick, Millis, and Walpole.

What insurances do you accept?

We participate with most major insurance plans. When scheduling, our team can confirm whether your plan is accepted and answer any billing questions.

Can I message my provider directly?

Yes. Once you’re an established patient, you can message your provider securely through our patient portal.
