Connecticut Coastal OB/GYN

I have been going to Dr. Brines for over 30 years. She has always been kind and informative. Answers my questions and puts me at ease. I feel very comfortable with her and I will miss her when she retires. I also read all the reviews and I can’t relate to any of the negative ones. Lastly when I was there this past Thursday, the woman I dealt with when I first arrived was very helpful. 5*****

At a time when I needed medical help and support she offered caustic and hurtful commentary. On my first and only visit she was immediately confrontational. She was critical and she relentlessly berated me. I have never felt more condescended to and disrespected. It was shocking and horrible. I left before the exam in disbelief that this woman was a trained medical professional. Ladies please, please find someone else. Skip this woman-she needs to retire and not at all sure how she maintains her position at the practice. STAY AWAY! Read Less Submitted Aug 16, 2022

My daughter was treated with complete disrespect, we will not returning nor can we recommend . Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. Appalling!

Dr Brine’s office has been totally rude, uncaring, unsympathetic and unhelpful to a situation that needs immediate attention. Even going as far as to cancel a biopsy that was needed because of a problem with a mammogram. Won’t even return a call! This could be life or death! I hope that any of you “patients “ do not need anything of this magnitude from her because she will cut you out and leave you with no where to go in your time of need. What’s the doctor oath Do No Harm. It all comes down to do you have the right insurance, not being kind, helpful or being able to sleep at night because you did the right thing.

My experience with Dr. Fletcher has been wonderful. She is patient, kind and very informative, I could not have asked for another dr. I was referred to her from one of her colleagues who was my Dr. within the practice who moved away. I love Dr. Fletcher and I have referred my family and friends to her.

I've been going to Dr Brines for 39 years. I wouldn't go to anyone else. For my pregnancies I traveled an hour for appointments because I didn't want to go to any other doctor. I've seen other Doctors in the past and was uncomfortable.

Dr was fine but the medical assistant Susie was so rude! She was condescending about medications I was previously on that showed up in Mychart which has nothing to do with my appointment. Unprofessional and rude.

I have been going to Dr. Fletcher for years; she is very caring and thorough. My experience with her is a positive one.

Love her! Been with her for approximately 30 years

After having a bad experience with another doctor who didn't take me seriously, I found dr fletcher to be incredibly kind, warm, and respectful. She didn't make me feel like an idiot for asking health questions, nor did she judge me for being young and having an unexpected pregnancy. I never write reviews but it feels like the right thing to do after having a bad experience with someone else.

Reckless Endangerment

I absolutely love Dr.Brines !!! I have been going to her for years. I read some of the reviews and I cannot relate to any of them. She encouraged me to get a mammogram which has been years since my last one. So I will get a mammogram. Thanks to Dr. Brines

I find Dr. Brines to be very direct. This is the type of doctor I need. Had it not been for a job relocation, I would still be under her care. She caught something that could have been very problematic for me and that I will always be grateful to her for.

Amazing Doctor. She is awesome and explains conditions and options very well. I trust her 110%. She treats her patients with professionalism and care.

I recommend Dr. Pringle to all my friends! She is understanding, informed, and establishes a strong relationship of trust with her patients. She takes the time to fully listen to my concerns and discuss options in detail. I always leave her office feeling at ease.

I love Dr Fletcher...SHe has the best bedside manner!!!

Being recommended to Dr. Fletcher has become my biggest regret and a never ending source of pain and agony and my son is forever disabled due to bad decisions made during my pregnancy. I was prescribed terbutaline and allowed to suffer through three agonizing days of labor. Not to mention having a cerclage with general anesthesia while six month pregnant for a supposedly thinning cervix that turn out not to be correct. I was told to have a glass of wine when I went into labor. My son has bee

I cannot tell you how uncomfortable this supposed "professional" made me feel. This was the first time that I saw her, and she entered the room after reviewing my chart extremely confrontationally. She asked me if I cared about myself and I replied that I did. She then asked me if I drive with my seatbelt on. I explained that I do. She then asked if I drive with my eyes closed. Her demeanor was horrible! She told me that I was an obese smoker and needed to do something about it.

She just didn't listen. Felt like the only thing anybody in the office cared about was my insurance and generated more business for Yale ancilliaries.

I've been seeing Dr Fletcher for a few years. She is caring, compassionate, thorough. Takes time to ask questions and listen. I recommended Dr Fletcher to a friend who also had a positive experience.
