About Rebecca Kolp, MD
I am a general Obstetrician/Gynecologist. I see both gynecologic and obstetric patients in the Waltham office location. I am honored to have been selected to serve as the Medical Director at MGH West since 2003.
I spent eight years training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I completed both medical school and residency. I graduated from Johns Hopkins in 1999. I came to the Massachusetts General Hospital in 2001 as an Attending Physician.
I have always believed that each patient deserves to be treated as I would wish my mother or sister to be treated. For that reason, I strive to provide the absolute best care to each of my patients. I take care of obstetrical patients, including those with multiple pregnancies, advanced maternal age, and those desiring a vaginal delivery after a Cesarean section. My goal is for each patient to have the delivery she wants, while ensuring her safety as well as the safety of her baby.
I also take care of gynecologic patients with a wide variety of problems including, but not limited to, difficulties with menses, fibroids, abnormal pap smears, ovarian cysts, a family history of gynecologic disorders, for birth control, vaginal discharge, etc. I provide both the medical and surgical solutions patients require to improve these conditions. I attempt always to provide this care with the compassion I would wish for myself.
Throughout my career, I have been an active teacher and instructor. I think that my greatest contribution to residents and medical students as a teacher is to convey to them the importance of this level of compassion and to teach them the operative skills necessary to be great surgeons.
Outside of my clinic hours I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and exploring new places. I also love good books and exercising.

Rebecca Kolp is very good Dra.
Excellent!!!!!
I was very fortunate to get an appointment with Dr. Kolp, as referred by my primary care physician. She expedited the appointment given some potentially concerning lab findings. I found it incredibly reassuring that she saw me so quickly and was very comprehensive in her feedback and education. I was immensely impressed with the workings of the ... Read More
Dr. Kolp is an amazing doctor and provides exceptional care to her patients. She takes her time and makes sure you have the best care for each visit.
Absolutely love Dr. Kolp! One of the best physicians I've ever known.
Dr. Rebecca Kolp saved my life. I was sick for over 20 years with Lyme sclerosis misdiagnosed by six doctors. I saw Dr. Kolp. She did a biopsy. She ordered steroid medication and I've been out of pain ever since. She's the best doctor in the world.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kolp's for quite a long time and I've always been pleased with the level of care and concern she has provided. She always reaches out in a timely manner and provides me with a lot of good guidance, input and supreme care.
I have been a patient of Dr. Kolp for over 26 years, and we have a wonderful relationship. She is always pleasant, kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about my care. Every doctor should be like Dr. Kolp!
Dr. Kolp is extremely thorough, and always willing to take care of her patients, even if it's not her specialty. She goes way, way, way above and beyond what she needs to do as a gynecologist, doing an annual exam, and really cares about her patients. She's wonderful.
Dr. Kolp is empathetic. She's professional. She's just a wonderful doctor and she listens very well and she communicates well and it's just a pleasure that I'm able to see someone like her on the staff of MGH. So I just think she's a wonderful care provider. Thank you.
