OBGYN North is a wonderful medical practice. I have been a patient with this group for almost 4 years, including appointments for routine exams and, recently, the birth of my sec...

I delivered both of my children under the care of OBGYN North. First, let me preface by saying that I was very close to choosing to birth my babies at home under the care of a mi...

Couldn't be more pleased 10/27/2008

During my first pregnancy I changed from my existing OBGYN to Dr. Sebestyen's office after doing some research on the internet and finding that she supports natural childbirth, and used hypnobirthing herself. Dr. Sebestyen, her nurses, and the midwives employed by her office were all fabulous! I felt completely comfortable with each one and loved that my appointments were scheduled so that I would get to meet each person who may be attending my birth. Everyone in the office has a great bedside manner and operates with the highest level of professionalism. It turned out that my little one decided to come early and was in the breech position. Dr. Campaign performed my cesearan section with the highest level of skill and during her follow up visit with me in the hospital impressed me even further with her passion for her work. I have already recommended this practice to several people and my sister who is expecting her first child in April also has had very good experiences with Dr. Sebestyen's office as well! Pros: support of natural childbirth, skilled professionals, midwifes attending births at hospital Cons: waiting room time is unpredictable more

Outstanding World Class Doctor 9/4/2008

Dr Sebestyn is a phenomenal doctor. She takes more time to listen to her patients, than any other doctor I have ever seen. She is thorough, intelligent and welcomes patient questions with thorough answers. I was not surprised to learn she attended Princeton - her ability to field questions shows how well trained and smart she is. This woman is a professional whom you would expect to find in a larger city like Houston or Dallas....she is a world class OB GYN right here in Austin. Pros: Thoughtful, caring, and smart Cons: Admin staff does not put customer service first more

Under too much stress 8/14/2008

She recently purchased the practice she's in now from the previous doctor, Dr. Thompson. She's in over her head. She's lost or fired most of her staff and nurses and the new ones are FAR too unsure of themselves to be concerned with the patients they're supposed to be caring for. We were brushed off, ignored, and generally forgotten by her staff for many weeks. When we approached Dr. Sebestyen about this she told us we'd ""probably be better off going to another practice"" and proceeded to complain for 5-10 minutes to us about her trials and tribulations of the past several months ... when all we did was say that her office staff was starting to overlook things. Pros: Natural birth and midwives; progressive care Cons: Everything else. Office staff, bedside manner, excessive wait times, bad experience overall more

She is the best! 8/13/2008

I adore Dr. Sebestyen. She is the first ob/gyn I have had that has given me her utmost attention during our appointments. She is personable, friendly, calm, and and an absolute joy to talk to. She is young, has a child of her own, and supports the mother's birthing plans. I love the fact that she has made snacks and water available to pregnant moms. For one appt, I had my 5 yr old daughter with me, and Dr. S went out of her way to talk to her about the baby and we even did an impromptu ultrasound so that my daughter could see the baby. She was instrumental in working with the hospital to allow midwifes again and she has beefed up her staff so that someone from her office will be available 24/7 at the hospital for deliveries. I can't wait to have my baby in september! more

Signed up just to write this 7/21/2008

Okay i had shown up to the hospital about two times with false labor when in walks the on call doctor who I now know god sent my way im not trying to sound corny but after not being able to find a ins company that would take a pre-existing preg, i had to take emergemcy medicaid. well as soon as i confessed that my appointed doc was horrible and barely knew my name she told me to switch to her because she wanted to help. well just to have a doc who didnt talk down to me and took time to get to know me was just shocking. soon after i had to leave her because my ins changed. well know i had the oppurtunity to go to her again when i switched jobs and i cant believe im this excited about something most women dread.(pap smear). and believe me ive done reseach and shes the best !!!!!! more

Really bad exparience 7/15/2008

I had the most horrible experience with her. She was unprofessional, was completely off with diagnosing me and scared me unnecessarily. Then she went on with her mis-diagnosis and caused unnecessary and possibly irreversible damage to my uterus lining through overly aggressive surgical procedure. Cons: ruined my life more

If I could give more stars, I would! 7/7/2008

Dr. Sebestyn is the only OBGYN in town to see if you are a thinking woman who has some opinions of her own about child birth. I've found that since Austin lost midwives in hospitals, the four OBGYNs I visited with before meeting Dr. Sebestyn truly believe you need medical intervention to have a baby. more

Dr. S is the Best - hands down, no one compares 4/3/2008

Dr. Sebestyen is absolutely amazing! Somehow the moons aligned for me, moving to texas in my 2nd trimester I thought it would be impossible to find a supportive of natural child birth OBGYN, then I met Dr. S - immediatly both my husband and I fell in love with her and had the most amazing pregnancy. Every meeting she took her time, listened, it was easy to forget she was a doctor and not a friend because of her sincerity and deep caring she gives to her patients. Then the magical day happened when I had my first baby - Dr. S. was truly a gift! She worked with us during our roller coaster ride of labor and gave constant support and encouragement. She is not a doctor to just come in and 'catch' - she stayed with us for HOURS!!! Althought my memory of the day is fuzzy I remember her coming around 4:00 (after being in and out all day) and stayed till 3 am!!! What doctor does that these days!? AMAZING! And we had a succesful completly natural child birth with the help of Dr. S and our equally amazing doula. If you are wonderfing who to go with feel confident with Dr. S - all you have to do is meet her 1 time and know that she is the doctor you want to go to and you would want ANYONE in your family to go to. Pros: Like having a midwife with an Ivy League Degree Cons: having an amazing doctor!!! (no cons here) more

Compassionate Care! 2/20/2008

Dr. Sebestyen provides the kind of compassionate medical care that is rare these days. After we learned that our baby had passed away in utero we were DENIED treatment by other doctors in town because we had been in the care of a midwife. When we spoke with Dr. Sebestyen she immediately offered her assistance and was willing to listen to our concerns, worries, and heartbreak. I would highly recommend her to women needing OB care. more

A Breath of Fresh Air... 2/20/2008

Dr. Sebestyen is an absolute breath of fresh air! After having met her, I wondered if she was really too good to be true. Now, after having referred numerous friends and clients to her for OB care, I have to admit I am absolutely blown away by the quality of care that her patients receive. Dr. Sebestyen takes time to listen her to her patients and really understand their wishes. She treats each woman as an individual and knows them each on a personal level, rather than by their due date or file number. I have attended several births as a doula with Dr. Sebestyen and her patience, gentle nature, and knowledge of her craft are second to none. Seriously, this woman is one of a kind in this city. I urge anyone seeking OB care to put Dr. Sebestyen at the top of your list. Pros: She takes her time & listens, treats each patient as an individual Cons: None! more

Austin is lucky to have her! 2/18/2008

I saw Dr. Sebestyen today for a follow up after complications during labor. I saw a midwife my entire pregnancy and had a planned homebirth. I was transferred to the hospital after complications and ended up giving birth in the hospital. I received a fourth degree episiotomy and am still experiencing complications from that procedure (not done by Dr. Sebestyen). I decided to go to Dr. Sebestyen after reading that she is supportive of midwifery and natural birthing practices. She was extremely personable and patient in listening to my tale of labor and complications. She supported my decision in using a midwife, instead of patronizing me as other doctors have. She explained my complications in terms that were easy to understand and was very reassuring that regardless of where those complications took me, she would be there to help. She is extremely supportive of breastfeeding and is conscientious in her use of and prescribing of medications. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is the doctor we have been needing for many years here in Austin - knowledgeable, understanding, and truly supportive of women's rights to the best treatment available. Pros: openness, knowledgeability, listening skills more

Great Support with a VBAC 1/16/2008

Dr Sebestyen was very supportive as the covering OB for my VBAC ( birth after cesarean) delivery. She met me at the hospital and she was a wonderful presence the whole night. She listened to my wishes with minimal intervention and everything went smoothly. I had a healthy boy and the delivery I so wanted to experience. more

Women's Health and Reproductive, Dr. Christina Sebestyen 1/6/2008

I have worked on a professional level with Dr. Christina Sebestyen. I can assure you that her medical qualifications and expertise are without question.
