Nancy Mason, MD

Dr Mason is a caring and deeply knowledgeable physician at the top of her game… you can’t do better!

Dr. Mason is a one of a kind doctor. She took excellent care of me and I am so thankful.

Dr. Mason is just the best physician I’ve ever seen – and I’m in my 50’s. She is extremely smart, caring and takes a real interest in ones total well being. She has been a lifesaver for me and her recommendations for other physicians and other therapies have changed my life for the better. I have had chronic back problems my whole life and her suggestion on who to see has been the only thing that has worked. She is truly a gift to the medical world and I hope she never retires!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT physician! She is very easy to talk to, explains everything and is an expert in her field.

Dr. Mason is a god send for all the women in her practice! She is hands down the best MD i have ever been to not to mention the kindest and smartest. If you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, look no further this is the doctor you should be seeing. I felt so comfortable and confident when delivering my baby because of my trust level with Dr. Mason. Through my entire pregnancy (daughter is 16mos now) I looked forward to every visit. On the day my daughter was born Dr. Mason came and checked on my every couple hours and even helped me labor for the last 30mins before delivery. She coached me through a semi complicated delivery and even helped me navigate the waters of the Special Care Nursery when my daughter was kept for observation. I have now seen her for a couple well woman visits and I continue to be impressed with her level of care and attention. Even my husband loves Dr. Mason!

Nancy Mason is an awesome OB/​GYN, she delivered my second son 16 yrs. ago and then my daughter. She was recommended to me by my first OB/​GYN who she had Dr. Mason as her OB/​GYN and was leaving town, she came highly recommended by others too. She has been great in all aspects and always gives her patients the time required, her staff is really wonderful and have been with Dr. Mason too for a very long time. It’s understandable! Dr. Mason is well educated and highly respected within the medical community. A fantastic choice!

Nancy Mason is, hands down, the best doctor that either my husband or I have ever seen. She is über-​competent and has the warm, folksy, and attentive bedside manner of an old-​fashioned country doctor.
Some examples to illustrate:
1. How I found her: I went to the Labor and Deliver Dept. at Stanford Hospital and pulled nurses aside one by one to ask them who they think are the best doctors who deliver there. They were amazingly honest with me about who they did and didn’t respect and Nancy Mason topped nearly all of their lists.
2. She graduated Summa cum laude from Ohio State and was Chief Resident in Obstetrics at Stanford when she was a resident there.
3. The nurses told me that doctors «usually just come for the very last part of the delivery.» Nancy Mason, however, got to the hospital (in an evening gown) within ten minutes of the nurses calling her to notify her that I had been admitted. She stayed with me for the full 6 hours of my labor and coached me through it.
4. She delivers all her patients’ babies herself (as long as she is in town). I was very nervous about the practices with lots of doctors, where I didn’t know who would be on call to deliver my baby. She is an old fashioned doctor. She does them all herself.
5. It was easy to get appointments with her.
6. Her office is very homey – with wooden rocking chairs and pictures of her family, and Mary Cassatt reproductions all over (mothers and children). Her staff is lovely, and she takes tons of time with you.
Anyway, can’t say enough about her. The one draw-​back is that she doesn’t accept insurance, but she will give you the forms that you send in to your insurance company, all filled out. She charges somewhat more than the insurance companies allow, but not much, and for me, it was 100% worth it for that confidence. I think a delivery was like $ 4K, and insurance covered most of that.

Dr. Mason delivered me when I was born and now she’s my gyno – 22 years later. She’s probably one of the most knowledgeable doctors I’ve ever had. And since I don’t have a general doctor at the moment, I tend to ask her for general medical advice too, and she is always willing to help, even if it’s not related to her specialization.
She’s very nice, but also very no-​nonsense. Don’t expect her to be asking you about your life, job, etc. You’ll get in and out as fast as possible, which, as all the ladies know, is just what you want when you have to go to this kind of doctor.
