Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN

Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN is an OB-GYN practice in New Haven, Connecticut. The practice brings together obstetrician-gynecologists and certified nurse-midwives who collaborate to provide pregnancy care, gynecology, and adolescent gynecology to women of all ages. Infertility evaluation and treatment are also part of the practice, including diagnosis and treatment of routine infertility issues. The practice holds a rating of 3.40 based on 14 reviews.

The practice traces its origins to 1958, when Dr. Malcolm Brochin, a Yale-trained obstetrician-gynecologist, opened a practice in New Haven County and later brought on partners, forming Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Infertility Group. In 1975, the practice became the first private practice at Yale and in Connecticut to add certified nurse-midwives. Over the following decades it evolved with changes in the science and landscape of OB/Gyn, and its name changed to Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN to reflect a diverse group of doctors and midwives. Most infertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization are now handled by highly specialized clinics, and the practice welcomes couples back for prenatal care and childbirth.

Pregnancy care begins with a confirmation visit, usually scheduled about seven weeks after the last menstrual period, including an ultrasound and physical exam, followed by a longer initial pregnancy visit with a review of history and blood tests. Patients receive a pregnancy education packet at their first obstetrical visit. Gynecology services center on prevention and early detection, including Pap tests and pelvic exams, and visits cover menstrual difficulties, contraception, hormone therapies, pre-pregnancy preparations, sexuality and intimacy concerns, and menopausal changes. The practice encourages patients to establish a primary relationship with a physician or midwife while accommodating appointments with other providers when scheduling requires it.

All Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN locations use the facilities of Yale New Haven Hospital - York Street Campus for maternity care and gynecologic surgery, an affiliation that pairs private practice attention with the resources of a major hospital. The New Haven office is at 136 Sherman Ave # 502.

For women across New Haven seeking pregnancy care, gynecology, or infertility evaluation, Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN carries forward a practice history that began in New Haven County in 1958 and continues through its collaboration with Yale New Haven Hospital.
