[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who also had success with Dr. Abassi I have to warn you that she is very curt and does not hold your hand. If you are looking for someone compassionate, she may not be the kind of doctor you are looking for. However, she is very intelligent and knows her stuff.[/quote]

I would sort of disagree with this.  Yes, she is extremely smart and knowledgeable and she's not super warm and fuzzy.  But at a time when I had a very small chance of conceiving due to multiple issues, she broke the news to me and I cried in her office and she was extremely compassionate and comforting.  I had two successful pregnancies with her and she continued to see me for a long time afterwards as my GYN, because of some ongoing issues that regular GYNs don't typically deal with, and she knew I was most comfortable with her.[/quote]

I disagree also.  Definitely find someone whose style is comfortable for you - you want a good "fit" with your doctor.  Abbasi may not be for everyone but instead of curt I would use adjectives like direct, straight-forward, thorough, honest, relatively unemotional.  Many of those adjectives are real positives for me but might feel curt to others.  She was accessible to me for anything I needed, including one emergency situation where I was quite scared and she was extremely responsive and caring.

So it's a personal issue about fit, but I agree that it's really important to choose a doctor with whom you have a good rapport.  This is tough, emotional stuff, so you want to feel like your doctor is an ally.[/quote]
