“Dr. Strongin is just top notch, cannot ask to be better. It is just the doctor you dream about having. He has great bedside manners and does thorough exams. He follows up for any issues that arise to make sure it can be taken care of. He is just simply amazing.” Hanne J.
"I recently referred a close girlfriend pregnant with twins to Dr. Ferber and I have to say that was the best decision she made for what turned out to be a complicated pregnancy. I have yet to see a physician who cares so much about his patients (and I work with physicians so I do not make this comment lightly). It felt throughout the pregnancy as if Dr. Ferber was caring for a family member as he was involved in every single step of the pregnancy. 7 months into the pregnancy my friend was hospitalized and was on bed rest for a month. Dr. Ferber literally was in the hospital every single day (even weekends) just to assure her that the babies would be healthy and made sure she was monitored 24/7. The Lenox Hill staff has such a deep respect for Dr. Ferber that I am sure that must of helped on how attentive everyone was. My friend has no family in NYC so I cannot imagine how her pregnancy would have been had she not had this deeply compassionate and caring physician by her side. I am happy to say that my friend gave birth to two beautiful and healthy babies. Even after they were delivered, Dr. Ferber drove over an hour into the city on the weekend to make sure they were getting the best care in the NICU--in the hospital. I told Dr. Ferber he is a true angel and I am on a quest to tell everyone I know about this physician. Funny, but as I have met more patients that have used Dr. Ferber in their pregnancy....I keep hearing stories much like my own. He is definitely a rare find." Mirav K.
“Thank you for bringing my beautiful kids so safely into the world! Thank you to all the doctors and staff for your professionalism, expertise but for also making me confident that I was being taken care of really well! I will never forget how caring and compassionate you were to me. Thanks again!” Renee R.
“We were referred to Dr. Ferber by our friends during our first pregnancy. It was important for us to find an experienced and compassionate physician with the specialty in high-risk pregnancy and Dr. Ferber met all three criteria for sure. Our first pregnancy, unfortunately, ended with miscarriage. Dr. Ferber was out of town on that day, but he cut his trip short and came to the hospital to check on my wife the same day. The second pregnancy was successful and we now have a beautiful baby girl. Dr. Ferber was with us during every step always reassuring and available via email and by phone for questions. We ended up doing a C-section in the end, but felt comfortable with his recommendation as we trusted that this was the best option under the circumstances. In summary, Dr. Ferber is a truly amazing physician, whom we can highly recommend.” Emily A.
“I generally read reviews prior to going somewhere new but I was short on time and two of my friends recommended this office. I called and was able to get an appointment for the next evening. The office even called me earlier in the day to let me know that they could take me earlier if I wanted. When I got there all of the receptionists were sweet and friendly. I only had to wait about 5 minutes before I was called in. When I saw Dr. Schwab I loved her! She was attentive and very patient in answering all of the millions of questions I asked. She even called me up the day after to tell me my test/blood results, which was very convenient. It was overall a great experience!” Lauren P.
“Words simply can’t express how much it meant that Dr. Ferber was there when Kendal was born. He was there when we were going through such a difficult period in our lives a few years ago and now a joyous one. It was incredibly special and we truly appreciated all the time he took to help us. Even more than that we appreciate all that he has done for our family- he gave us hope and let us believe in the amazing future we are living.” Jane B.
“Dr. Schwab has been my OB-GYN for over 10 year, and she is the best! Dr. Schwab is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, caring, and always takes the time to answer all of my questions, no matter how big or small. Dr. Schwab delivered my son last year and she was an amazing coach through the entire pregnancy and labor. I highly recommend Dr. Schwab as an OB-GYN.” Melanie C.
“Dr. Ferber is AMAZING! I had twins with many complications throughout my pregnancy and he always had the ability to calm me down, talk through any of mine or my husband’s concerns and when my water broke 6 weeks early and he was not on call, someone at LHH called him on his cell phone and he came over to deliver my babies. I cried when I saw him because I couldn't believe that he would do that for me - and his answer was, "of course I would be here for you." Had gone to others in his practice and in my opinion, there is no comparison!! He is AMAZING!” Olivia N.
“During my first pregnancy, I was referred to OB-GYN Associates by several friends who had recently given birth. I was enormously grateful for the care that I received. I felt reassured by the way my questions were answered knowledgeably. The doctors supported my husband and I as we stepped into the unknown territory of becoming parents. We felt safe knowing that we were receiving the best care possible. We were visited daily by staff from OB-GYN Associates after having the baby, which made us feel truly cared for. Pregnancy is not easy, but with their help, we felt confident that we were doing what’s best for ourselves and our baby.” Joyce H.
“I want to thank the staff and physicians as a whole. I know every day it’s “just a job” for you, but I never once felt like I was “just another patient.” You give individual attention and make each person feel special and that alone is such a comfort. I truly felt cared for both physically and emotionally and what could be more important during a pregnancy! So thank you again for the wonderful care you took of me.” Janis E.
“I went to OB-GYN Associates throughout my first pregnancy and had the opportunity to meet all of the doctors. Naturally, you connect with some doctors more than others and that’s the way I felt about Dr. Strongin. When I arrived at the hospital for deliver, he was there and did a phenomenal job throughout my extremely long labor and delivery. There were some complications, yet he still did a fantastic job keeping me going. He knew I didn’t want a C-section, so we were able to do it without it. Dr. Strongin even stayed late to see the delivery through. I agree that it’s a busy office and sometimes you do have to wait, but all great doctors’ offices seem to be the same way. Also if there’s something you don’t like, speak up and it will usually get addressed and taken care of.” Emily N.
“Dr. Ferber is an outstanding physician! He is smart, very experienced and full of knowledge. I never heard of a Dr. that is so dedicated (24/7!) and answers every question by providing his email address. It was a pleasure to deliver with him - he is very very calm! All of my friends are going to him (we are from the Netherlands) and feel like home with him.” Anna K.
“Dr. Ida-Ellen Schwab is the best gynecologist I have ever been to. She made me feel at ease from the moment I met her with her warmth and caring nature. She is extremely attentive to all of my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed when I am in her office. She runs on time and very responsive about lab tests after my visits. I have recommended her to all of my friends and all of my family, and we all feel the same way.” Samantha L.
“Words cannot express the thanks and gratitude we feel. You were all so caring, compassionate and skilled during the delivery of our daughter Alison. You sat by our side during those long hours and then saved her life through your quick actions. You are all amazing! We are indebted to you for the rest of our lives.” Annie L.
“Dr. Ferber: Thank you so much for all the care and support you gave me. You helped during my pregnancy and birth of our beautiful daughter. You made everything so much easier. We feel so blessed that you were there for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. We tell everyone about how amazing you are. Thank you so much for everything!” Victoria B.
"Dear Dr. Schwab,
Thank you so much for the excellent care that you gave me and my new baby Andrew last week. You were so patient and warm. I really appreciated the way you always gave me options of what to do next in the birthing process and helped me make decisions throughout the whole experience. My mom is an RN and after watching how you delivered Andrew, she said, “It was like a work of art. Thank you so much." Sara J.
“Dear Dr. Strongin,
My husband and I have never met such a patient, sincerely interested, well-being doctor. You are SO incredible at what you do and we are thankful to have found you! You stopped whatever you were doing the day of my cyst surgery. I was a mess and you were probably enjoying a day to yourself, but you dropped everything to do surgery! I seriously can’t understand that. You then made a follow-up appointment even though you were already filled with so many appointments! My husband James and I are so grateful for you and your staff. You spent time with us just to let us know it was all going to be OK. It’s obvious you are simply amazing at what you do! We recommend you any chance we get.” Lauren M.
