One of these reviews is SO ON POINT! I went to Dr. Sassoon because another physician said i would love him. He was okay through out my pregnancy and my appointments were quick and routine. Thank God I had a very easy pregnancy. Then as I was approaching my due date he said that we should schedule an induction on my due date. My husband did some research and said that he had heard that there was a higher c-section rate associated with inductions, especially since it was my first delivery. Dr. Sassoon told him "I am sure you are good at what you do, but if something happens to that baby, your wife will have to live with you for the rest of your life." Totally unprofessional. Instead of having a medical conversation explaining his position, he was rude and condescending. My husband reviewed medical journals, not Cosmo or Glamour magazine. Well guess what...I had a c-section. Baby is beautiful and healthy...but Dr. Sassoon was extremely unprofessional and interested in making his life easy by scheduling births at his convenience.

I just read the "awful" review by Kim D. and I can't agree more!!! Kim D. may have ended up with a C-section but I ended up paralyzed!!! I can finally walk again but my legs remain numb. Sassoon told me I'd be ok, he said a few other of his patients became temporarily paralyzed after he induced them and he acted like it was no big deal. It was astounding! It took a year to be able to walk normally again. After 6 years, I still don't have feeling in my legs. Instead of suing, I've told my story to everyone who will listen. Please beware and don't let Sassoon talk you into being induced to fit his schedule. He has one of the highest c-section rates for a reason.

I should have paid attention to my gut feeling at the very first visit, because it was right! He had been highly recommended to me so I decided to give him a chance. I thought that in case something went wrong, I would be in the right hands, even though he was belittling and did not like to answer my questions. Like with the other reviewer, he also wanted to plan an induction on my due date, which I ended up not needing. Worst part, I was not in the right hands: he was absent at the delivery room during most of my (short) labor, resulting in serious tear. The nurse didn’t do her job either! I do not want to get too graphic but I was in pain and discomfort for MUCH longer than needed. I went to see him TWICE after delivery complaining about the tremendous pain, unusual 2 or 3 weeks after giving birth. He scoffed at my concerns, told me there was nothing wrong with it and that the only thing I could not do was to have sex just yet!! Over the next year I saw two doctors about my complications and I ended up needing surgery a year later to correct what he thought it was just “normal scarring tissue” In summary: stuck-up, careless, overpriced and plain unprofessional. Save your bucks and your precious time for a real CAREtaker.

NO WAY- ever again, would I deliver with him. He scoffed at my questions, was belittling, was obnoxious to my spouse, talked about his wife and 5 kids ad nauseum without seeming to care the slightest about my pelvic cramping in the 2nd trimester... or spotting... trying to reach someone on the phone is impossible. He has no NP and his partner is hard to understand the phone... BAD PRACTICE

He convinced me to plan an induction on my due date even though there was no medical indication AND I wasn't even dilated (cervix wasn't soft either). Guess what? I ended up with a C section. When my husband and I asked him why he wanted to induce me since the literatures shows there's a higher rate of C sections with inductions he was very rude and condescending and told my husband that he shouldn't ask him questions about 'his' job that he's been doing for over 20 years. But he never informed us of this possible complication and we only brought it up because we had read about it. Each visit I had with him was quick but fine... I never felt he was a fantastic doctor or had great bedside manner- but he was fine. But this flipped me out since he didn't even answer our question and told us basically not to 'question' him.!! I was shocked and had I not already been due just a few days later when we had that conversation I would have walked out on him. Not to mention that he doesn't take insurance and I had to pay out of pocket! NEVER AGAIN!
