She's amazing doctor and I'm glad I choose her to be my OB My delivery was amazing with her and she's the best doctor read more

Horrible and terrifying experience!!! Avoid, at all costs, this uncaring, delinquent, and unprofessional, so called doctor, Soodabeh (Sue) Abravesh, and her incredibly rude and mean office staff, Miriam. As a high-risk, first-time pregnant patient, I was willfully neglected, disrespected, and put through so much stress and anxiety by Abravesh and Miriam. My first visit during my 8-week of pregnancy was rushed to less than 10 minutes, after a long wait and their refusal to let my Husband accompany me to the exam room. I was never informed about their no accompanying person policy. They didn't even let my husband wait there and told him to go outside of the office and "wait by the elevators"!! I now know the reason: she does not want any witness to her negligent acts. Also, beware that she will continuously insist on performing an internal ultrasound during each visit, neglecting any high-risk pregnancy condition and the risk of miscarriage that comes with internal ultrasound at early stages of pregnancy. The reason is her ultrasound machine is so old and outdated that doesn't take accurate measurements abdominally. So, she will refer you to other doctors to perform the accurate ultrasound. But, she will lie and tell you it's because she does "not have time to do it there"!! For my second appointment, she scheduled it after 4 weeks. Worried that it would be too late for me to complete my first trimester tests, she replied: "no you will not miss anything." Two weeks before my appointment, still worried, I called her office and asked for an earlier appointment, to no avail. Then I asked that she at least email me the order for my tests and referral for the other OBGYN to do the Nuchal Translucency (NT) ultrasound that must be done before the end of first trimester to detect baby's chromosomal or genetic issues, so that I could complete them before my appointment with her. Miriam said she would ask Abravesh and will call me back. During those 2 weeks I anxiously called her office 3 more times asking for the orders but every time Miriam said "Dr has not responded to the messages I left for her" and never called me back. During my second visit, Abravesh again insisted on performing an internal ultrasound, which I refused. She then using her rusty ultrasound machine, shocked me by telling me that my baby's size wasn't a 12-week baby size but an almost 15-week baby size!!! I kept telling her that was impossible because I had planned this pregnancy and knew the exact dates. But she kept insisting that the measurements were correct and then said because my baby's size was past the first trimester size I had missed the window for one of the most important tests, the NT ultrasound!!! I started crying and told her that was why I kept calling her office asking for an earlier appointment or for the release of orders and referral to perform the tests before my appointment. She replied: "It's ok! You haven't missed much! You've missed only 1 test"!! When I researched about this huge difference in size, it appeared that this may indicate that the baby has genetic and health issues. Because of this and knowing that I missed the NT ultrasound due to her negligent conduct which could help detect the issues, I could not sleep for two nights and was constantly crying. Fortunately, understanding my situation, the other OBGYN's office staff kindly gave me an appointment after two days. There, the doctor performed an abdominal ultrasound, and told me Abravesh's measurements were completely wrong and baby's size, in fact, matched a 12-week baby size!!! She then completed the NT ultrasound and said everything looked normal. Then, Abravesh kept ignoring my phone requests for one week to release my medical records until I personally showed up at her office and she finally handed them to me after telling me that she was doing me "a favor" by giving my own medical records to me because "by law," she could have made me wait at least two weeks for them!!! My sincere advice: save yourself and your baby, and stay as far as you can from Abravesh and Miriam. read more

I hate leaving negative reviews, but this experience left me feeling very regretful I hadn't come here to Yelp prior to paying $340 for a 10 minute visit that did not address my concerns at all. I saw Dr. Abravesh for a routine check-in and for concerns of some pelvic discomfort. She acknowledged my cervix was inflamed, performed my pap, then ordered me a mammogram since my mom had breast cancer. She said I should have one done 10 years before my mom's age of diagnosis. I let her know that was not for another 7 years. She gave me the order regardless and did not order a pelvic ultrasound or care to explore my inflammation or discomfort any further. I had to call 3 weeks later as I had not heard about the results of my pap and was told (for the first time) they only call if anything returned abnormal. I saw her as a cash patient and her MA was surprised I would do so. I booked this visit under the impression it would be a more integrative and thorough approach. It was one of the most routine, quick visits I've ever had. I'll now continue on my pursuit for answers with my primary provider and spend more on additional visits and testing. The Dr. & her staff were pleasant, but this was not the experience her website made it out to seem. read more

Big No! I hate to write bad reviews, but I like to share my experience with her. I don't recommended her at all. She is so rude and very unfriendly with patient always in a rush. Never available. If you are Persian and you think you will he have a connection with her you are wrong. I was in a very bad pain and she didn't taking care of me, she jump on me to why I came to her office with out appointment. Her front desk not answering the phone. If you are pregnant and you need a good doctor for 9 months !!!Oooops !! Big No to her !!! She made me disappointed! And told me to end up my pregnancy, but I switch to another Doctor, and my new Doctor treat me with so much hope, love, and care. read more

Terrible experience. Dr. Abravesh is rude, makes inappropriate comments, and always rushes patients. It's not just her personality that is rough... every appointment I had with her left me in pain. Staff doesn't know how to answer basic questions and never picks up phone. Switched to a new doctor and am much more comfortable and happy. Avoid this place!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Abravesh since I became pregnant with my first born over 5 1/2 years ago. She listened and respected my birth plan and made sure I knew all my options. She always answered all my questions and made sure I never worried since I had a previous miscarriage. My first labor was hard (back labor) and she got me through it. With my second born I had two blood test test positive in my second trimester. She told me she believed it was a false positive, talked me through it, calmed me down, already had the sonogram facility on standby awaiting my call with multiple appointments on hold for me knowing mine and my husband's schedule. The blood test was indeed a false positive but it did inform us of my son's genetic skin disorder. When I gave birth she had the labor and delivery staff on stand by just in case the severity of the disorder was bad, which it wasn't. It was a great, fun, and exciting delivery. We laugh and talked the whole time. I have recommended her to multiple people and will continue to do so. She is amazing and I appreciate everything she has done for me and my family. Oh and the front desk staff always makes sure there is candy in the jar which my husband loves. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR!!! Sue and her office is absolutely awful. Unprofessional, unresponsive, unable to get ahold of, and terribly unorganized. My wife has been going here for several years, and Sue has done nothing but complicate our lives time and time again. This isn't just a complaint based on one negative experience, it's based on dozens of experiences. The girls working the front desk are completely clueless. In the last two weeks we have dealt with multiple lost or delayed documents and requests. The office hours are only 9-4, with a minimum hour lunch break, which usually goes much longer. This makes it nearly impossible to reach anybody between 11am-2pm. So you have a total of 4 hours to be lucky enough to get ahold of anybody all day. Two weeks ago, we had to make last minute trip to the Emergency Room on a Friday night because Sue was "too busy" to check if bloodwork results had come in. She called us 2 MINUTES before her office closed (4pm... pathetic) and told my wife she had to go to the ER since she didn't have a chance to check the bloodwork results we were promised to receive the morning, and it was too late for her to come to her office. Also, all the girls in the office were helpless and couldn't find the results all day to help get us the information we needed. Last but not least - she will OVER CHARGE you for everything. She made my wife take multiple lab tests that were completely unnecessary and we are still receiving bills for $400-$500 at a time that we didn't even know we had to do. Not to mention, NONE of these tests were needed according to the ER doctors. This woman does not deserve to be working in the medical field. Please, please, please do not go here. read more

I had the absolute honor of having Dr. Sue Abravesh as my OBGYN during the birth of our oldest Son over nine years ago and our twins over four years ago. I have been a patient of Dr. Abravesh for almost 10 years now, and I just wanted to add a review since she has been a fantastic doctor. The best OBGYN around...hands down! The entire office staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. The wait is never long and yet I've never felt rushed. She always gives the time you need and answers questions comprehensively and with a kind heart... Dr. Abravesh is also really good about communication. She has been very patient and thorough when going over test results with me, and explaining what they mean. Overall, I am very pleased with my experiences. I would highly recommend her to any of my female friends or anyone looking for a reliable and highly competent OBGYN , and she is personable, comforting and everything you could ever want in an OBGYN.I know that with Dr. Abravesh I am in good hands :) Thank you Dr. Abravesh read more

I absolutelt love Dr. Abravesh! She has delivered both of ny children, (6 & 2 1/2 weeks old.) Both times she was caring, compassionate, & accomodating to my needs. The office staff is super friendly & a great group of girls. Dr. Abravesh is very informative, honest, & friendly. I always feel welcome when I am there & that any of my questions are answered. If I have another baby, she will be our go to OB again! Thank you! read more

My wife and I are tree-huggers that live as raw/organic/natural of a lifestyle as possible. We only shop at Whole Foods and Mother's and support the Slow Foods Movement. Believing that you "birth the way you live", I did a Google search for "Holistic OB/GYN Orange County" and came across Dr. Abravesh's website. Based on her website that states "Dr. Abravesh understands and respects individual needs and preferences. She uses a holistic treatment approach, combining the best of traditional medicine with alternative treatments," I thought she was exactly what we were looking for. I couldn't have been more wrong. One of the first things she did was a vaginal ultrasound...at 6 weeks of pregnancy?! Obviously we didn't see anything so she wanted us to come back in two weeks and do another ($165.97 each time). If you're reading this and don't already know, ultrasounds have not yet been proven safe or harmful for developing fetus'. In other words, knowledgeable and cautious medical professionals agree that you do them only when you need to, not every visit so you can update your Facebook profile with a new black and white image. The second red flag was when I casually asked about a natural birth such as a waterbirth. Before I finished the question, she quickly shook her head implying no and said that those weren't proven safe and are much more likely to cause infection to the mother (both false statements). She obviously hasn't done her homework or seen "The Business of Being Born". The third red flag was her reaction when I showed her our raw foods vitamins that both my wife and I take. She said she didn't trust private label brands (ok, I can agree to disagree). But when she gave me a sample pack likely provided by the pharmaceutical rep that gets a kickback from and I asked, "where are these manufactured?", she looked at me baffled and said "now you're asking me hard questions". As soon as we left the office, we knew we weren't coming back. After additional research and referrals, we soon discovered South Coast Midwifery. They are phenomenal, very knowledgeable, kind, caring, patient and open to your preferences! We honestly couldn't ask for better service from them and you really do feel like you become a part of the South Coast Midwifery family! We delivered at home via a waterbirth through them and it was the best day of our lives and the most beautiful birth we could've asked for. By the grace of God, South Coast Midwifery has never lost a baby or mother and it's no wonder that South Coast Midwifery was voted "Best Place to Give Birth in Orange County!" read more

Worst OB/GYN I've ever met. I went to Dr. Abravesh when I realized I was going to be a high-risk pregnancy, but I was wrong. She is the worst physician I've ever had to deal with. She seemed nice in-person on my first day meeting her, friendly and well-spoken, but the longer waiting times with the five-minute visits were starting to get on my nerves. When it came to have my baby, I called at five in the morning, but she didn't seem bothered to worry asking if 'I was sure' as if I didn't know! Ten hours later, I've already been feeling the urge to push for fifteen minutes, but she's apparently running late?! I was her only patient booked as the first birth and yet she wasn't there waiting as I needed her. Pushing, obviously it hurt, so I yelled out ONCE and she told me to be quiet??? Um, excuse you? I'm having a baby pushed out of me with an epidural that didn't even work (the anesthesiologist was sick and sniffing his nose like ew?????) and you're telling me to be quiet?! Then, because she was soooo busy with other things, she made me push him out in ONE. PUSH. One push! I suffered a second LABIA MINORA tear (which is your second set of 'lips' around your urethra) and had to get stitches because it split apart. If she hadn't made me push him out in one push, I would have never had to tear myself like that. I have had a baby before, so I knew what was going on. Also, I didn't know the results of my pap test until I was literally in the delivery room because she didn't bother giving the notes to the hospital. If they hadn't looked at the fax machine for my special necessity, my little boy could have developed serious drawbacks (meningitis and the like) because of her ignorance and stupidity. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!! Don't go here because she DOESN'T care about her patients. Those little pictures of her with all those babies on that mural may look cute, but it is a MURAL OF LIES. She is just a money-grubbing punk that doesn't care about your condition, your safety, or your child's safety. read more

If there was a lower negative star I'd give it. My daughter has been suffering in pain for months now. Then she was supposed to authorize exploratory surgery over a month ago. My daughter keeps calling the office and the office keeps saying they're still waiting on the insurance company. My daughter called the insurance company and nothing's been authorized then she called back and they now said we forgot. Which is it? Then she calls again after they forgot and it's two weeks later and there's still no answer. Worst patient care ever! She's suffering and passing out during her periods. She looses all color from her and doubles over and cries in pain. Seeking another good doctor. Would NOT recommend!!! I don't think this doctor knows what she's doing. read more

Terrible, terrible experience. I do not recommend seeing her at all. I am a physician and I have never seen any physician act the way that she did when examining me or explaining the causes of my symptoms. I will not be returning to her office, and strongly recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I saw this doctor during a trip to the E.R ay Mission Hospital she was the doctor on call at the labor and delivery unit. Without going into detail I will say she was unkind, cold, condescending and rude. I left the place in tears. I do not recommend this woman at all. I hope I never have to see her again. I can't say good enough things about the nurse that attended me though. She even apologized on behalf of the doctor. read more

Please do your research before choosing this doctor. I was with dr. Abravesh since my last pregnancy and while I saw a few red flags, I chose to ignore them because I didn't want to go through the hassle of looking for a new doctor. I had several issues with the front desk and Abravesh does not seem to care enough about it to take care of the problem. When I confronted her about it she got defensive and simply said "it's not my problem." I have already switched to a new doctor and the transition was simple. If you have any doubts, please don't settle. It's not worth it. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. The receptionist told me I could see the dr once my authorization comes in. I had to call myself to keep checking in. When it finally came in she said the doctor can't see me. So she basically lied - I had taken the day off work for this. After that she told me she'll call back for another appointment in a few minutes. She never called me back. I can't trust a doctor who hires staff that don't care about their customers. Your staff is a reflection on you... read more

I've seen many OB's and Dr. Abravesh is by far the most informative. I saw her today for my second pregnancy and she and her staff were nothing short of sweet. They answered all of questions, and were very ensuring that we'd be in the best care. read more

I have been with her for over 5 years and could not be happier! She's caring, prompt, and professional. She also takes the time to answer any questions I have. The front desk is just as great! I will not go anywhere else it took me years to find a good doctor! read more

I have found Dr. Abravesh to be very kind and wise. I had a difficult diagnosis, and I feel I partly owe my good recovery to her encouragement and wisdom. I would recommend her without hesitation. read more

Not sure where to start, but if you're looking for an OB/GYN, look no further. I had no idea she even had a Yelp page until now. I have been with Dr. Abravesh for over 10 years & found her on accident as a 2nd opinion... that being said, I will never go to any other OB/GYN again. Without being too personal, she saved my life. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, down to earth & funny. She'll help you through the highs & lows, ins & outs of navigating womanhood. Her staff is friendly & professional; America & Katie are just the best! I cannot stress enough of what a lasting impression this Dr. has made on my life. Book an appointment now, you won't regret it. read more

I made an appointment for my older mom, when the receptionist verified that they accept Medicare. We had to cancel a future appointment with another obgyn, since this was a couple of days earlier. When my mom went there they mentioned you have to pay $180.00 from pocket. They never said anything on the phone. This is really dishonesty. My niece has already warned us that she is not a good doctor. She keeps ordering different, not necassary, tests to make money. She is a good businessman and terrible doctor. If anyone looks at these reviews, with over 90% negative, they would never step foot in her office. She keeps ordering ultrasound for a pregnancy which is bad for the fetus. Please tell the patients the truth over the phone so they do not have to waste their time and get surprised at your office. You are not a used car dealer, you have sworn to the medical code of ethics; when you received your MD in Pennsylvania!! read more

I really like Dr. Abravesh. I have been going to her for the last 4.5 years always been treated with respect an received a great care. She is an intelligent caring Dr. That I would highly recommend. The front office is always sweet, respectful and attentive to my questions. Highly recommend her. read more

RUN VERY FAST AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR... On the day of surgery she and her office staff had forgotten to notify me earlier that they needed a pap history from previous doctor in order to have surgery. I had been fasting and was stressed the day of surgery but I got them the info. I was admitted to Mission Hospital for a hysterectomy at 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon before Christmas. I was nervous and my husband and family were all praying for me and prepared to care for me the next weeks... I get a phone call from the doctor as I'm entering pre-operation saying that the pap was not up to date and she questioned me on why I didn't have the right info - I told her I did what I could with the time that I had and I thought I had a recent pap. Then I realized she was blaming me for this mistake and I asked what we will do now. She said "I'm not doing surgery today...I won't take this liability...I'm cancelling the surgery and closing your case." Just cut me off completely. I dropped to the floor in shock and cried - I couldn't believe she continued to say "well, I only met you 18 days ago.." as if that somehow made this all ok. She was offended by my being upset and couldn't understand why I would be this way even though I explained that I've been starving all day and prepared myself mentally, emotionally and physically for this procedure for 2 weeks. She was rude and I eventually hung up on her then I had to go back to admitting and get my money back. I wouldn't be able to get money back from the appointments I had to do to get all the x-rays, blood tests, etc. prior to the surgery. Now I sit wondering what in the world happened and why I was scheduled for this in the first place if "18 days ago" was too soon for her. This doctor is seriously unprofessional and prideful and has a very poor staff - that is a dangerous combination for anyone putting their lives or bodies in her hands. read more

Terrible place to go for pregnancy checkup. Doctor said all was fine when I went for checkup for my pregnancy at 2 and half months. I lost my child a week later. She diagnosed me wrongly. Did not bother to consider blood test and TSH reports which were little off. She does not release my ultrasound and test results. Staff is misinforming and playing games all the time. They clearly violate the law by holding patients records and not releasing it to the patient. They just wanna get the money from patients or the insurance company. They have to knowledge or compassion towards patient. I will not even recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

The next few visits went ok but the last visit was somehow different. The doctor seemed rushed and told me to come back in 3 months even though my problem is still chronic. If it isn't responding to her treatment, what will 3 more months do? Felt kind if given up on. Looking for yet another doctor. read more

Dr Abravesh was awesome. Our first pregnancy was scarry enough and she was very caring and attentive. She put us at ease throughout the pregnancy. She delivered our baby and it was amazing. Our boy is healthy and beautiful. Thank you Dr. Abravesh. The other review is not accurate. read more

I have known Dr Abravesh for over 12 years & have been her patient. The care she provides is sound, the compassion that she delivers in her practice is comforting, her level of expertise impeccable. I feel safe & comfortable in her care. read more

I have been seeing Sue for 2 years simply because I went to her once and didn't want to deal with selecting another OBGYN and going to someone new. She has always been short and was 45 minutes late to my most recent appointment, with no apology. Her alleged billing department sent me a bill for services in the end of 2016, for services completed in 2014 as they said they just got around to their backdated billing from over 2 years ago. She sent me a charge for full services (which are to be 100% covered as preventative care by my insurance) and when I called Cigna they said that the charges were fraudulent. A doctor has a legal period of time to submit a claim and they far exceeded it. They are so unorganized and offered me a "courtesy discount" if I were to send them even half of the bill. Cigna said they were frauds and that their claim to any compensation from the patient, after 2 years from the date of service is completely illegal. Long story short, Cigna contacted Sue directly to address the fraudulent charges and I have not heard from their third party billing department since. The billing department has a yahoo.com contact address and only reachable when the individual answers their cell phone. You'd think she could pay for a legitimate billing service as a doctor. Would not recommend and will not be returning. read more

The WORSE Doctor visit experience of my entire life. The staff was very rude, the doctor had no manners and I actually left without the visit. My appointment was for 1:00pm. I got there at 12:30 and filled out the paper works (which by the way was the worse drafted questionnaire I have ever seen in a doctor's office, the questions were all crammed in together and I couldn't tell where one question ended and the other one started). I filled everything out and was back in the office at 1:00pm sharp (they close between 12-1). There came 1:15pm, I asked the receptionist how many more minutes I had to wait and she told me that someone was before me. What? my appointment is for 1 and you guys are closed for lunch from 12-1 how can someone be before me? well whatever, I waited but I told her that I had to leave by 2:00pm. Came 1:30pm and the assistant called me in one of the rooms and started asking me the same questions that I had just answered in the questionnaire which she was holding so I told her that maybe she can look at it. I sat in the room until 1:45 when the receptionist came back and said my insurance card did not go through and I told her that my insurance was all good and I had just received it and had called them to verify everything. I asked her to call them and she said she wouldn't because they would put her on hold. So I said ok, can I see the doctor while you are on hold and if they don't answer I will pay? She said that the doctor refused to see me until I paid $200 and at this point the time was 1:55. So I said, I am just going to get the hell out of this hell hole and I left. I called my insurance later and they told me that the receptionist of this doctor had wrongfully told me that they would accept this insurance which was Blue cross and very well known, but in fact, the doctor did not have any contract with that insurance. When I had called to make the appointment, I told them that I had a blue cross insurance and asked two times whether they accepted it and they said yes. Anyways, overall the WORSE WORSE Doctor experience in my entire life. read more

it was one an awfull doctor in this city she doesnt care about their patient i had c-section with her it was bad she doesnt care all 9 month and my pospartum was awfull because she forget to order medicine for me read more

Worst Physician Ever. Takes over an hour wait time and sees you for 5 minutes. She rushes you in and out of the office as if you're cattle. She doesn't take the time with you and always seems as if she's in a rush. Never explains testing with you just gives you the sheet of paper to get blood drawn or whatever else. Horrible! Deserves 0 stars. read more

Like the other reviewers I have had nothing but unpleasant experiences with this doctor. The first visit to get my birth control prescription was good, so I thought I was getting a good doctor. Then I went off to college and the school physician changed my birth control on me (long story). When I came back I had to go through her to keep my prescription. Apparently my medical files from school "got lost" and I had to go through all of the routine testing. Again. Okay fine, they were almost a year old. But then I said I wanted to change my prescription to a 24-4 instead of a 21-7. Apparently that was asking too much of her and instead she changed my prescription to "take continuously-- no placebo." I didn't listen to that, but I should have paid more attention because I got shortchanged the number of refills I needed. As of today, I should have two refills left on my prescription. Last month when I went to pick up my prescription, she had out a stop on it and told the pharmacist to tell me that I needed to come in for an appointment. I called the office and one of her staff was very helpful and called the pharmacy so I could get my prescription (5 stars for her). And she told me how many refills I have left and that she could schedule me in April (when the prescription refills would run out) so I could get a renewed prescription. Everything was supposed to be fine. It was not. Today I tried to pick it up and was denied because "you have no refills." Last month I had two refills, what are you talking about? I try to call the office, and of course it's 5:01pm and nobody is there. I talk with the answering service who can't do anything about it. Oh and I don't have my pills because I'm completely out! So I am currently scrambling to figure something out because I need my pills and nobody will sell them to me because of this doctor!! I will be calling tomorrow again to get my last refill then finding a new doctor. This is absolutely ridiculous. read more

My wife went there and she was surprised to see how unorganized that office is. She requested a nurse be in the room at the time of examination and it was not done. It was on the form that she made out prior to seeing the dr. Evidently, they don't read their own forms. Also, my wife told me that they did not call her to let her know if the PAP smear test was Negative or Positive. She had to call the office without no response. read more

I would give this doctor 0 stars if I could. They overcharged my insurance for services that were completely out of left field and didn't happen. I never have to pay for anything at any doctor I go to and my insurance said the charges were so ridiculous they wouldn't pay for them so I ended up having to. The actual doctors appointment wasn't great either. I was given abnormal lab results quickly over the phone by the receptionist who acted annoyed when I wanted to ask questions about my own health. Find a different doctor. read more

When I first found that I was pregnant I began searching for a Doctor that I felt would respect my desire for a more natural birth plan and who I felt I could trust. Initially I had wanted to have a water birth at a birthing center however we were not able to do so financially. I knew I did not want a C-section and found that most of the doctors that were recommended to me seemed a bit surgical happy. I needed someone who , if I was told that I needed to deviate from my desired birth plan I would know that they had tried everything else first. Dr. Abravesh is AMAZING! She took the time to listen to any concerns that I had and never rushed me. When my husband had a list of questions to ask her at an appointment she did not rush him either - she sat down and answered each question with care. While I did need to deviate from my original birth plan (as I am sure many people do), I did not need to have a C section. Dr. Abravesh was great during my labor process - she was always coming by to check on me and calling to see how I was doing. She made sure that I did not feel pressured to do anything I was not ready for. Should anyone decide that they are going to have a hospital birth, I highly recommend Dr. Abravesh and Mission Hospital. As a side note, I am a Nutritional Therapist who believes in a lifestyle that includes raw/farm to table foods and vitamins that come from reputable natural sources. I also used gemmotherapy during my pregnancy as well as good herbal sources to maintain optimal health. Dr. Abravesh was aware of my choices and supported me through my entire pregnancy. read more
