About Erik Clinton, MD
I am a generalist Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. I am the Medical Director of Labor & Delivery and Postpartum. Through my work as Medical Director, I have had the opportunity to work with other departmental leaders to write protocols and coordinate care to create the best possible experience for our expectant mothers. Through intensive simulation course training, and my experience coordinating medical simulation for our Obstetric care providers, I gained the experience needed to grow our simulation program at MGH, and help our learners reach their clinical and interpersonal goals as care providers. As the Departmental Simulation Officer, I have been able to write, coordinate and execute Obstetric and Gynecologic simulations for medical students, residents in training, clinical fellows, non-professional staff, Certified Nurse Midwives and my fellow attending physicians. As a leader in medical simulation I work to promote the concept that our diverse backgrounds, varied professions, academic rank, and levels of experience as providers should not be a barrier to effective communication and teamwork. I have had the opportunity to teach simulation through regional presentations, national webinars, at the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology National Conference and at the Center for Medical Simulation in Boston. My experience as a course has grown to allow me the opportunity to lead obstetric crisis training for over 200 healthcare professionals, and non-professional every year.

I am always impressed with Dr. Clinton and his entire staff. They are attentive, down to earth, knowledgeable, and just good and kind humans. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Dr. Clinton was very professional and listened very well and clearly wanted to hear what was important to me. He also gave ample time to spend with me to understand my situation. He seems like he really genuinely cares about his patients. I'm looking forward to my future visits with him.
He was very good and he listened to me and he was very open to talking about my concerns about perimenopause and seeking ways to mitigate the symptoms I've been having from perimenopause and linking that to the problems that I've been having with other things.
Dr. Clinton is always attentive, thorough and knowledgeable. He seems to be familiar with me as a patient and my history.
Respect, thorough, experience
Take opportunity to listen effectively to patient and reason for visit. Reframe from being dismissive of illness and symptoms. Provider seemed to lack adequate knowledge and expertise pertaining to illness and symptoms associated with gynecological issues
The provider was obviously running very late because I wasn't seen for about 40 minutes and I was waiting in the room. But when he came in, he was very clearly very rushed. He didn't do any exam. He just answered a couple of my questions, changed a prescription. I was still asking him questions when he got up and put his hand on the door to leave. ... Read More
The time they have given me is not enough. But they have respected me in spite of that
Dr. Clinton was very dismissive. He was very rude. He was very rushed. I think my entire appointment was roughly five to ten minutes. I did not really listen to everything I had to say and everything that I did say. It felt very belittling and dismissive.
I had a great experience with both the nurse and doctor. They explained everything really well and spent time with me to make sure that I felt comfortable and confident in my decision/procedure. I really appreciated the care they took to help me feel safe during a procedure that gave me anxiety.
