I had an extremely positive experience with Dr. Nayar and her amazing team throughout my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. Dr. Nayar is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and truly someone you can trust with both your health and your baby. This was my first pregnancy, and she and her team were wonderful at every stage. They always took the time to answer my questions, provide thoughtful recommendations, explain my options, and help me feel confident making important decisions along the way. I’m so grateful that I had the Nova team and Dr. Nayar by my side during such an important time in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nayar and her team to anyone going through this journey!

October 8, 2026I moved from another state while pregnant and was looking for an OBGYN. Michelle at the front desk helped me immensely and made me feel calm. I met Dr Nair, Shieds, and NP Aruda - they all were very supportive throughout the pregnancy and asked my queries with patience each time. Ended up delivering my baby with the helps of Dr shields and all my requests were taken into consideration. Thank you so much!

From the moment I talked to Michelle when I called to make an appointment, she set my mind at ease! Thank you Michelle! And Dr. Jennifer Shields was incredible - kind, thorough, and attentive! I am so glad I found this practice!

October 6, 2025I booked my first appointment a little over a month ago. My first visit on Monday was worth the wait! After a terrible experience with my last OB-GYN and his practice, I didn’t expect the level of care I received from Dr. Shields. She was so compassionate and knowledgeable, and she really listened to me. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I almost cried from relief on the drive home. I’d recommend Nova Women’s Health to anyone and everyone! NOTE: When I entered the street address in my navigation, it automatically populated the town with “Reading,” rather than “North Reading.” This is not a location of anything! I got off the highway and it said I’d arrived, but there was nothing there and I was actually 10 minutes from the office. I’d assumed that the first option that appeared in the search results would at least be a place. Be diligent about the address you use for navigation and avoid my mistake!

Was searching for a new OBGYN and I’m so glad I found Nova Women’s health! I find Dr. Shields to be extremely compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable.

Michelle at front desk worked super hard to get my appointment moved to soonest possible before I left for school. I was super nervous for my first visit but my doctor was super sweet, very clear, walked me through everything and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire appointment. All the staff was incredibly nice and scheduling future appointments was super easy!

May 14, 2025The staff here are great. I use to not like going to the gyno before coming here. All the doctors who have assisted me in the past have been wonderful. Big shout out for Dr. Arruda for being so helpful and thorough during my previous appointments. And of course Dr. Shields for understanding me and my concerns on a personal level. I greatly appreciate you💕
