Dr. John C Petrozza, MD

He was rude and condescending to me during our visit. He stated things repeatedly while making no effort to come to a resolution about a medical issue. There are a ton of competent fertility doctors out there, so avoid this one.

Well, it's never pleasant to have a gynecological exam, but Dr. Petrozza was professional & spent a lot of time discussing issues associated with my diagnosis, which resulted in my having laproscopic surgery. I will say that if your appointment is later in the day, he tends to run late, because he does spend time with patients instead of rushing them out the door. With regular post-surgery check-ups, we built a rapport, and he probably saved my life by forcing me to promise to have a mamogram prior to age 50, which resulted in me finding out that I had an early aggresive tumor. He sent me to a wonderful breast cancer specialist for follow-up.

I see doctor Petrozza at the MGH fertility center. I have undergone two uterine resection surgeries with him and now will be doing our first IUI! He is kind, and always willing to answer any and all questions we have. I have always felt super comfortable with him!

This is my first and only review of a doctor... my experience was that bad. We selected Dr. Petrozza because we thought he'd be "the best" based on his position at MGH. But after multiple visits with him, we will absolutely be switching providers. First of all, he has a terrible bedside manner -- he is very cold and condescending. Second of all, he has a lot of strong opinions -- we felt uncomfortable and judged. Having a baby is a stressful enough process that I don't this negative doctor in my life.

I saw dr Petrozza many years ago due to difficulties conceiving. I was treated as a second class citizen. I was in pain as a result of the endometrial biopsy and seen by a nurse trainee. The team disregarded my pain. I had to go to a different doctor who told me that the timing of the endometrial biopsy was wrong and treated me with antibiotics for 6 months. The experience at MGH was very bad. The experience at MGH and the disrespect of the team was unacceptable. I left with a failed IVF, endometrial infection and tears in my eyes. Eight years later, here I am blessed naturally with three children. Thank you God!

A truly exceptional doctor, easy to talk to, always available to answer questions (he's returned calls at 8 pm at night and even on a holiday), and just a joy to work with. His practice really embodies the group practice philosophy, but I always know that Dr. Petrozza is going over my plan and response. I am in the middle of my first IVF cycle and so far things are going well!

Dr. Petrozza is the best! He has a very busy practice, but does his best to arrange phone or Skype visits, and always answers his emails. Several of my friends see him and rave about his bedside manner and the comfortable atmosphere he creates.

I was saddened to see a few negative comments about Dr. Petrozza, as I have been following him for the last 10 years and think he is great. People need to know that he is an infertility specialist, a reproductive surgeon, and also has taken it upon himself to see women with chronic pelvic pain, like myself. There is nobody else in New England that has taken on this responsibility. I wnet in to see him demanding surgery, because I thought that is what I needed. I had just undergone surgery a few months before I went to see him, so he was obviously concerned that I hadn't improved. He reviewed all my records and outlined an interesting plan for me. He felt some of my pain was muscular....I though he was crazy. He asked me to trust him for a few months until we completed his recommendations...I once again thought he was crazy. I even posted a comment in another site questioning his method. I had self-diagnosed myself and I was sure surgery was what I needed. Surprisingly, after a… few months of physical therapy and trigger point injections, I was beginning to feel better! He also diagnosed me with interstitial cystitis and after starting some treatment for that, I improved immensely. Eventually, he did take me back to surgery, but this time my recovery was better and he felt it was because we had taken care of all the other factors that were contributing to my pain. I think these patient who have written poor comments had expectations that were unreasonable or went in with the wrong mindset. Dr. Petrozza sees my sister and my cousin, and they are both very happy with his care. I will admit that he has gotten more busy, which is why he has other physicians helping him. Perhaps he is not spending as much time with them as he has spent with me. All I know is that he has fixed me, and I am forever grateful. If Dr. Petrozza was not here, who else would see patients like me? Other Gyns just want to operate and then send you away.

Dr. P tells it like it is. He has a great bedside manner, tells you what he thinks is going on, and gives you options. I initially saw him for pelvic pain, we did several tests, tried a few simple medical treatments, and I eventually needed surgery. My prior doc said my pelvis was a mess - filled with endometriosis and scar tissue. Dr. P did a laparscopy, cleared things out, and told me to try and get pregnant for the next 3 months. My son is a miraculous gift from what this man was able to do for me.

I visited Dr. Petrozza with endometriosis history, and severe pelvic pain, colon obstruction pain. He never did examine for my pain. Never know where I have pain. then he did surgery for his research project, not for diagnsis and treat my disease. After sugery he find " nothing wrong" then he told my husband and other Doctor I have a psychological pain disorder. His word and " diagnosis" almost cause my life, cause my love husband left me. After his surgery only 2 months another Gyne Doctor find tumors by regular and simple pelvic examine. Dr. Petrozza should be "expert " in his field, but he made a big mistake because he never perform any pelvic examine, he missed diagnosis. I have ovarian cancer spread to colon, bladder and pelvic. For my experiences with him, He is not a good doctor at all.
