    I don't usually write reviews, but since I rely on them heavily, this one's long overdue. I found Dr. Mann through Yelp reviews and she's a gem! I needed a new ob/gyn after moving back to the Boston area. Other reviews for her and her practice with Dr. Okamura focused on the obstetric perspective but I wanted to share mine from a purely gynecological perspective, as I have felt in other practices that I am a "second class citizen" when not there for ob/pregnancy issues. In an increasingly changing healthcare environment, Dr. Mann does not make you feel rushed, listens to you, and sympathizes when needed. She is efficient in evaluating you and in determining what tests may be needed but not in a sterile manner. When I first saw her, I had no insurance and paid out of pocket. ...

    I have been Susan Mann's patient for more than 30 years--first at Harvard Vanguard in Cambridge and when she left there I followed her to Brookline. When I had serious symptoms that could not be explained she persisted in running tests, even though they were all coming back negative. It turned out that I did have a malignant tumor but thanks to her persistence it was stage 1 and I did not need any further treatment after my surgery. That's what a great doctor does.

    I have been going to see Dr. Mann for 5 years now and I highly recommend her!! I had a lot of potential complications with my pregnancy. She sat down with me and we came up with a great plan. I felt like she really listen to my concerns and we looked into everything before we started trying. I happy to report everything was complication free and I have her to thank for that.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Susan Mann's for almost 8 years and she has expertly, kindly, and patiently seen me through two high risk pregnancies to deliver healthy, full-term babies. She put my mind at ease many times and despite having a busy practice, she always listened to and carefully answered all of my questions. She takes the time to get to know her patients and I have always felt that she genuinely has my best interest in mind.

    I appreciate her rational, practical, and common sense approach. However, she's serious and ultra-cautious when it comes to looking after her patients. At the end of both pregnancies, my blood pressure was high and she was very firm and clear about how serious it was. She had me come back in to see her every other day until I delivered to make sure the baby and I were okay.

    I have been so insistent on having Dr. Mann as my doctor that I kept driving all the way to Cambridge for my second pregnancy, even though we had moved 30 minutes away. Just recently, she moved her office to Brookline and I am driving even further because I trust her implicitly and can't imagine going to another ob/gyn!
