Dr. Sassoon has delivered my three children. I wanted as natural a birth as possible. He respected my wishes even giving my exhausting amounts of questions concerning the necessity of all the drugs/procedures/hospital rules a considered response. I always felt I was in control of how much intervention/drugs/procedures were given. My second child was delivered by cesarean due to a rare complication after almost 20 hours of labor. But I wholeheartedly agreed with that decision, and never felt that he was pushing me to make it, or that he was in a hurry in any way. He was cheerful and relaxed and explained what was happening in great detail. My third child was delivered vaginally, like the first, again, with as little medical intervention as I wished. I'm curious where this woman is getting her "high cesarean rate statistics? I'd just like to know. I think if you are using outside statistics to support your review you should list them so others could check them. I do agree with others who have complained about the wait time. It's not every visit, but there have been times when there is a wait which I consider long. But I recall when he came to visit me after my delivery that people were probably waiting for him and yet he never rushed the visit so....
And yes like every other doctor or pediatrician I go to he doesn't take insurance. Like everyone else, I wish this was different. I'm giving him 5 stars for letting me have a natural vaginal delivery after a c-section.
