We feel very fortunate to have received testimonials from our patients, reflecting on their journeys and how Dr. Rabin has helped them.
Here are some of our favorites:
"Dr. Rabin is the most personable, genuinely concerned Physician that I have had the pleasure of being a patient. I had the Essure (contraception) implants done early spring of 2007 and I am so grateful for Dr. Rabin sharing this procedure with me and performing the placement of the implants as well. I've endured a history of endometriosis and I have experience incredible pain. However, this procedure was done while I was awake and comfortable with minor pain and cramping. Dr. Rabin is such a pro at his profession that he made this procedure quick with as little pain as possible....and HE said it would HURT. Minor cramping was it!!!! I feel great....It's been 8 months and I've not had complications... because I have an awesome GYN... age 40 and feeling fabulous...thanks to Dr. Rabin" A.R.
"My GYN retired....which was some what of a shock since I had
been seeing him for YEARS!! So, when I was asked to pick someone
new I was a little apprehensive. I reviewed my list of choices,
asked some questions and finally decided on Dr. Rabin. His bio
was impressive and I liked his philosophy. I think one other
thing that swayed me was that he uses the ultra sound machine.
For me at least, I think that tool is essential to having a very
thorough exam (it detected 2 small cysts that probably wouldn't
have been found otherwise - they went away on their own but none
the less I was glad to have known about them). In any event,
when I had my initial visit, I was a little nervous given that I
was so used to my other doctor, but within about the first 45
seconds I was completely at ease, and I felt a connection to
Dr. Rabin. My visit lasted for a lot longer than I expected, and
he listened and answered all of my questions. I can honestly
say, as sorry as I was to see my other doctor retire, I'm VERY
glad I found Dr. Rabin. I hope to be seeing him for a very very
long time!" CV, 41 y/o
"My very first visit with Dr. Rabin, he took the time to listen to me and find out what was going on in my life and with my health. He makes you feel very comfortable when talking about what is happening with your body. Before finding Dr. Rabin, I was told by another doctor that with the problems that I was experiencing, surgery was the only solution. Then I found Dr. Rabin. That was over six months ago, and still no surgery. Dr. Rabin suggested a few life style changes and natural progesterone, and I am feeling like I use to feel in my twenties!!! My cycle is finally normal again and I'm full of energy. I have referred all of my girlfriends to him!
Thanks Dr. Rabin.
You are the best. You can NEVER retire!!" TS

I have to tell you that I think that I found just what I was
looking for at your office. I really appreciate the time
you took to discuss WITH me all of my concerns. I got all my
questions answered and for the first time I did not
think of more questions after I left your office. It is really
unusual to find a Doctor that can listen. I look
forward to working with you.
Please feel free to use the quote. Have a great 4th.

Bear
with me, please. This may be wordy, but Dr. Rabin is so AWESOME,
I refuse to mince words! In fact if I could put a title on this
posting, it would be: DR. RABIN IS
AWESOME!!! All the
testimonials you will read from the women who posted here are
not giving him nearly enough credit and their praise is genuine,
as is mine. I have to say, prior to seeing Dr. Rabin (which
happened on accident, actually!), I was one of those women who
was very adamant about only wanting to see a female gynecologist
because men blah blah blah. So, naturally, I was nervous about
seeing him at first, but as soon as he walked into the room I
immediately got the sense of his good nature and his genuine
interest in me as a patient (he had me at 'Hello!'). He took the
time to speak with me and listen to my issue and allowed me to
ask as many questions as I needed to until I was satisfied. Now,
I thought maybe this was just how they treat you the first time
(you know how some doctors reel you in then forget about you
during subsequent visits?) but when I had to go back again, I
was (once again!) very surprised and proved totally wrong. Dr.
Rabin was just as enthusiastic about my treatment and treated me
like a human being, not just another patient he had to see that
day. He is an unbelievably amazing doctor. I have to agree with
the assertion in one of the other testimonials that he can't
retire. EVER. After seeing Dr. Rabin the first time, I was going
on and on and on about how AWESOME he was because visiting him
is so pleasant it's almost more like a social visit. Please
don't take that statement out of context and begin thinking that
he is not serious enough or just goofs off (even though he is
hilarious!) because he is very thorough when it comes to your
care. He will make sure you understand what's going on and how
to treat it, if necessary. My other point here is that I talked
him up so much that my sister was beginning to wonder if I was
addicted to going to the gynecologist. In the end, However, she
decided to go see him herself. After her visit, she called me up
and I believe her exact words were, "I went to see Dr. Rabin
today and I see exactly what you mean...he is AWESOME!!" The
moral of the story here is threefold: 1) Dr. Rabin is AWESOME.
2) His beside manner (so to speak because it's more like a,
uh...table? in there) is so pleasant and he takes such an
interest in your care that I think it will make you more likely
to take a more active interest in your health. Which is
important because the more you dread going to the doctor the
less likely you will be to go, right? Luckily, there is a
solution for that when it comes to your gynecological health.
His name is Dr. Rabin. 3) Dr. Rabin is AWESOME. post script: I'm
almost finished, i promise! but i wanted to also assure anyone
reading this that i promise you i am a normal average everyday
person (as i believe all of the other people who made
testimonials on here are), I don't work for the doctor and I'm
not the doctor. but I am a woman who is very appreciative of Dr.
Rabin and his work. THANK YOU!! You May Use My Name Toki,

"Thanks a million Dr. Rabin....you are truly the best!!! I'd drive 4hrs just to see you ... I think it's wonderful what you're doing now though, so many Doctors don't go the extra mile....or they don't bother to "dig" further for unanswered questions. There certainly is a need for "Advanced Gynecology". I love how you're so down to earth...you are actually very funny though serious and aggressive when needed. I've never left your office with an unanswered question. I appreciate you always taking the time to be so thorough with your patients. You are a rarity. Honestly, I feel like I owe you a BIG THANK YOU for my being pregnant as well as getting my thyroid dosage where it needed to be. It was you who encouraged and affirmed my decision to seek
aggressive weight management "surgery or otherwise". I never imagined that I'd turn up pregnant only 4 months after my Lap Band Surgery. I can't describe the feeling of actually seeing that second line on the home pregnancy test. That was something I really wasn't sure I'd ever see. Thanks again!!!" A.B.
"Dr. Rabin, it's so nice to be able to receive medical advice [on the phone] while squeezing in a two mile walk with my dogs before work. Normally, I would have forgone the exercise for the office visit before dashing off to work. The BHRT adjustment seems to be working. Thanks for the email advice as well. I feel that I owe you something in return. So here it is: The strawberry goes best with a light-bodied Pinot Grigio. Thanks for your help" P.G.

"Dr. Rabin is a wonderful doctor. He is understanding and always returns calls and has a very upbeat personality. I have referred Dr. Rabin to several women and I thank C. L. for referring him to me." M. A. |

"The thyroid medication has done the trick! I began feeling better the first day I took it - more energy, not sleepy during the day. My sensitivity to cold has also gotten better. I'm not 'freezing all the time'. My hot flashes have diminished to a large extent, even though I am still using my estrogen and progesterone creams. I think the thyroid has been the missing link - since I've always tested 'low-normal', doctors have never been willing to prescribe it for me. I want to thank you so much for reviewing my test results at our last visit and suggesting a trial course of thyroid medication. It has made all the difference in how I am feeling now." V.P. |

"I have been going to Dr. Rabin since I was eighteen years old. I have truly never felt so comfortable with a physician especially given what kind of physician he is. He manages my gynecological problems and was my OB doctor. I am now 24 years old and would never change. I am truly excited about the HPV vaccine. It is a great step and will truly help many women! I will tell everyone I know about it. I hope to hear more about it through the upcoming months. I work as an E.R. nurse and am definitely spreading the word!" L. J. |

|
"Thanks Doctor Rabin, I appreciate you helping me. It is so nice to know that doctors like you still exist. It is not often you will find a doctor that will take time out of his weekend to help especially having to play phone tag like we did. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. You are the best! " P. |
 |
"Dr. Rabin is Awesome. You ask and he will help." C.T. |

|
"My experiences with Dr. Rabin have always been very great and very informative. Dr. Rabin has been my doctor for over nine years. What I truly love and admire about my doctor is that he makes each visit pleasant, fun, and extremely comfortable. I'm always able to tell him personal things and he always responds with a great opinion or solution. He is very thorough and I appreciate his follow-ups. I will remain with Dr. Rabin as long as we both live." N.T. |

|
"I would advise you to consult him because of his bedside manner and his expertise in medicine. His concern for your well being, takes time to know you and feel what's going on with and inside you medically. He listens very carefully, never rushes in or rushes out as a lot of doctors do. He makes sure every medicine is right for you. He's honest, sincere; you can trust him, his opinions and discussions. Whatever problem I've had, he was always wise in wisdom, as G-d thru him always got to the root of the problem. To be honest, I love Doctor Rabin. He's a good doctor and I'm not going anywhere." B.F. |

"Dr. Rabin has been my doctor since before my husband and I married. He has supported me through two pregnancies, births, and most recently, my decision to have the Essure procedure to prevent future pregnancies. Not only is he friendly and encouraging, he is quite comical in what could be a very uncomfortable environment! I drive an hour to him because I can't imagine going anywhere else!" K.G. |

|
"It is refreshing to see a doctor who is up-to-date on the latest technology to benefit women's health in such an innovative way. Dr. Rabin makes every effort to make you feel better about yourself physically and mentally. I am currently using progesterone cream and thyroid medication." N.V. |

|
"I love Dr. Rabin. I am loving the bio-identical hormones I am on them and believe me, it is still a work in progress, but getting better." D.R. |

|
"I think my visit with Dr. Rabin was very productive. I had questions about taking hormones and he took time to answer them. I also think he keeps up on the latest advances in medicine and that is important to me." J.B. |

"As a new-comer to the Atlanta area, two years ago, I needed to locate a gynecologist. It was my luck to be able to become a patient of Dr. Rabin. At 64, I have seen at least four other gynecologists, but none have been more responsive and helpful to me than has been Dr. Rabin. First, and most important, his ability to listen and engage me about my history and health was outstanding. He also showed real "bedside" support during a very difficult time that I was going through as a result of my husband suffering from brain injury from a car accident and my role as the primary care giver which affected my emotions tremendously. He used current research findings to match my need to reduce postmenopausal anxiety and spotting. I have been using bio-identical hormone therapy with much success for almost 15 months; and he is very pleased with its results. In addition he is always timely and responsive to my concerns and questions; and I really appreciate this." T.S. |

|
"I am a patient of Dr. Rabin who is also battling Stage IV breast cancer. I am only 36 years old and Dr. Rabin has been extremely helpful in providing me with a "well rounded" outlook of my medical situation. He has provided me with a compassionate yet realistic format to live as normal a life as possible for someone who wants to enjoy life, in spite of the medical obstacles faced daily." D.V. |

|
"Dr. Rabin is very thorough, easy to talk to, makes you feel at ease during examinations, very likeable, personable and interested in what is going on with my body. He gave me a tiny blue pill which cured my hot flashes. He's my hero! I highly recommend Dr. Rabin. Thanks Dr!" S.S. |

|
"Dear Dr. Rabin: Thank you for your work with my wife, Pamela. It has been a rough time for her and you gave her some assurance that all will be well. It is refreshing to find a physician that works outside the orthodox box in dealing with these complex problems. I have been in active practice for 30 years and operate three practices in Henry and Fayette counties. I will do all I can to direct patients to you. Thanks." P.P. |

|
"I have been a patient of Dr. Rabin's for about 13 years. Dr. Rabin delivered both my girls by C-Section and made both events a wonderful experience. Dr. Rabin's knowledge combined with his charming personality make for a great friend and doctor. I recently turned 40 and expressed concerns about unusual heavy bleeding. After discussing all my alternatives with Dr. Rabin we decided on the Mirena IUD. I have continued with my follow-ups with Dr. Rabin and have had great results with the Mirena IUD." K.B. |

|
"Good luck with your new approach! I think most women are tired of their physician's just not getting what they're talking about and/or how to fix it. You get it!!" D.T. |

|
"Dr. Rabin is very easy to talk to. I had a hysterectomy in my late twenties and had a lot of questions about how my life would change. Dr. Rabin is a doctor that speaks to his patients as if they were his friend and does not make you feel silly or rushed through your questions and concerns. He delivered my first child almost twelve years ago. When my daughter needs a visit to the gynecologist, I would not think twice about taking her to the man who brought her into the world!" K.S. |

"I suffered from painful menstrual cycles my entire adult life. For the first 20 years I was handed prescription anti-inflammatories with a consoling pat on the back. Meanwhile, endometriosis grew internally to the point where surgery was required at the age of 37 and again at 42. Each time endometriosis as well as organs were removed. Since and during that time, my many doctors continued to give me a sympathetic shrug while holding out an array of pharmaceutical options from Depo-Lupron injections to birth control pills, patches, and injections to anti-inflammatories and even narcotics. Later, when I started to experience peri-menopausal symptoms I was told to 'ride it out' or go back on the pill by one doctor. He said my hormone levels were normal for my age. I was up to 27 drenching hot flashes in a 24 hour period and smelling like a pizzeria at the end of the day. This along with horrible sadness and insomnia made 'riding it out' an unacceptable option and I was tired of living on drugs. I took my health into my own hands and went searching for natural options. I read a book by Suzanne Somers and decided to find a doctor who would help me pursue BHRT. The next doctor, I was told over the phone, did prescribe BHRT. However, the consultation seemed more like a pitch from a pharmaceutical company. The doctor kept asking me why I wanted BHRT rather than the widely accepted, proved and effective HRT. At the end of the office visit, he begrudgingly prescribed a dose of BHRT. After taking the prescribed BHRT for 4 weeks, I still didn't feel quite right. The doctor reiterated to me the effectiveness of HRT and seemed bothered that BHRT required a concerted effort by both patient and doctor. It was a Pharmacist at a Compounding Pharmacy who recommended Dr. Rabin to me. Dr. Rabin was a breath of fresh air. He talked about my symptoms and BHRT with enthusiasm. When my first saliva test came back I actually got a hand written note from Dr. Rabin, imploring me to make an appointment in order to get my BHRT on the right track. After taking the new dosage for two weeks, I called and left a message that I was interested in splitting the dose like he had suggested at the last consultation. I fully expected a phone nurse to call me back telling me to make an appointment or pick up my new prescription. I was totally shocked that Dr. Rabin himself returned my call once on a Friday after hours and another time on a Saturday. With his help I have not had a hot flash in months. The extra testosterone in the morning gives me the extra energy and alertness I need as an Air Traffic Controller. The extra progesterone in the evening helps me sleep sounder than I have in years. I no longer feel I am stepping on to a conveyor belt when I walk into my doctor's office. I feel Dr. Rabin is as enthusiastic as I am about my health." P.G |

"I am thankful I saw the flyer at Dr. Rabin's office. Dr. Rabin is the first physician that understood my distress and was able to help me. I didn't want to take Premarin but I also knew I needed something. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. My sexual desires were zero. I was irritable, moody, flashing, etc. Dr. Rabin talked to me first before my exam. He made me feel very comfortable. In fact, he was the first doctor that didn't laugh at me when I told him I was embarrassed and afraid. He had a lab technician draw blood for lab work and within a few days I was able to pick up my bio-identical hormone cream that was made especially for me. The pharmacist was also very pleasant and helpful. To ladies that are suffering with hormone imbalance, do yourself a favor and also your mate and get the help needed. God blessed us with Dr. Rabin and his knowledge and also God blessed us with pharmacists who know how to use natural hormones." P.S.

"I know Dr. Rabin and he is the easiest person to talk to about anything. he's down to earth and is honest, understanding, and compassionate. He will bend over backwards to solve or suggest the best solutions to your problems. don't look any further he is the only one i trust. (and he's funny too)." J.L.L.
"Going to my yearly gynecological exam was always something that I dreaded. You experience anxiety, nervousness, and
embarrassment, but know that it must be done. Dr Rabin has changed my view on how this experience should be. I have been seeing him for 7 years and have never been more comfortable with the entire process. He will make you feel at ease with any concern that you have and will provide the most recent facts and findings about any procedure that you have heard about, even in the news. If you want to feel this same level of comfort, please place yourself in his care, and your previous fears will be resolved. Thank you Dr. Rabin for all of your help and great care over the years." G.Y.
"I am a patient of Dr. Rabin's that will follow his practice to the ends of the earth. Dr. Rabin has seen me through both a partial hysterectomy and breast cancer. Even after I was handed off to a very capable/skilled surgeon, Dr. Rabin followed up with me, for no other reason than he cares. Dr. Rabin, listens and then explains. The explanations are in understandable
English and the treatment is one that you both can agree on. I once swore I would never see a male OB/GYN; but now I swear I won't see any other Doctor again. Dr. Rabin stays on cutting edge techniques and doesn't fall prey to standard practices. Dr. Rabin is
definitely #1 in my book!!!" S.C.
