About Us

A Statement From the Partners at Essex County OB/GYN

We believe that caring for you means caring about you.

At Essex County OB/GYN, caring for you begins with caring about you. Since 1964, our practice has proudly served generations of patients across the North Shore of Massachusetts, providing comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological care throughout every stage of life.

Our team of board-certified OB/GYNs, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants is dedicated to delivering exceptional preventive, diagnostic, and acute care. We take the time to listen, support, and guide our patients with compassion and expertise. Outstanding health care means meeting you where you are and providing services to fit your needs. At every stage of your health journey, we strive to make care accessible, personalized, and thorough.

For your convenience, we offer weekday, evening, and weekend appointments. You can reach your care team online through MyBILH Chart or by phone for time-sensitive questions. Patients who are in labor or have urgent gynecologic concerns can speak with a provider at any time, day or night.
