Review from the 2024 Birthing SurveyDr. Rhee was recommended to me when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in my first trimester. She was wonderful throughout my pregnancy and delivery. Everyone in her practice was professional and friendly. Most of her staff has been with her for years, and they work together really well. During my "complicated" delivery she was an incredible advocate for me at the hospital.

Review from the Summer 2022 Birthing SurveyWhat month and year was your child born? 04/2022 Review: I switched to Dr. Rhee’s practice about halfway through my pregnancy, as I was looking for a practice that was known to be more friendly to unmedicated births and different coping mechanisms. I liked that she has a midwife on staff and was enthusiastic about a ‘birth center style’ birth in the hospital setting. My experience with Dr. Rhee was largely positive, although there are a couple of things I think worth calling out for anyone considering her as their OB. Firstly, she talks and moves quickly and doesn’t always take the time to pause and address anxieties. I felt like I needed to have questions ready to go and not much time to write down the answers before she’d be out the door. Also, starting my third trimester I had gained about 20lbs and had one appointment I felt was not well handled. She was clear that the weight gain was not an issue for me yet, but proceeded to ask about what I was eating and after a few foods listed identify what ‘must be the problem’. The interaction felt pushy and didn’t take into account that I was totally fine with my own weight gain at that point. And from a practical standpoint, because the phone number I had to call routes through Mount Sinai West’s system, when I went into labor it took about 20 minutes to get ahold of her (incl. one dropped call through the automated system, speaking with an admin, receiving a call back from her). With a very fast labor the Mount Sinai system was stressful to deal with. In the end, I think there are a lot of people for whom Dr. Rhee would be a great fit for, and on the whole I did really like working with her. She provided a lot more information up front than the practice I started my pregnancy with and is more known for the type of birth I had in mind (and was supportive as everything changed at the last minute anyway). If you’re looking for a softer bedside manner or weight is a triggering issue for you, then she may not be the right provider.

Review from the Spring 2022 Birthing SurveyDr. Rhee was my OB until labor and delivery, when Dr. Shulina was on call. I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal birth at Mount Sinai West. Dr. Rhee might be described as no-nonsense and a bit old school. She is direct, non-alarmist, and will respect your decision to keep your process low-intervention (if safe). Dr. Rhee monitored my hypothryoidism and anemia effectively. After I hit 40 weeks, she asked me if I would like to schedule an induction (didn't end up needing it) and wasn't pushy about it. She provides just enough information, but may not be suitable for someone who is highly anxious during the pregnancy. I met Dr. Shulina at a regular check-in to become familiar with her, in the event that she was on call when I went into labor; I appreciated that I had the opportunity to meet her and ask questions in advance. I would describe Dr. Shulina as having a warmer personality than Dr. Rhee. Dr. Shulina respected my pain management decisions and supported my eventual choice to get an epidural. She was busy the day I delivered, but checked in frequently enough. When it came time to push, she gave helpful guidance that allowed me to push efficiently for just 20 minutes with minimal tearing. I also observed Dr. Shulina to give helpful guidance to the resident on service. Overall, I was pleased with my care and would recommend Dr. Rhee/Dr. Shulina to folks who are comfortable with a less-high-touch style. It may also be useful to know that both conduct cervical exams regularly in the last few weeks of the pregnancy.

Gynecologist only unicornHi Angela--I highly recommend Amy Huang at Mt Sinai: https://www.mountsinai.org/profiles/amy-y-huang. She used to be an ob-gyn but now only does gyn.

Review from the 2020 Birthing Experience SurveyDr Rhee is amazing. She really advocates for a natural birth and goes above and beyond to help you have that. She delivered my first child and it was a natural birth. My second child she was not on call, her partenr Dr Shulina was on call and she was also amazing. Both are very caring in the moment of giving birth and they will do anything to make sure you are taken care of. In terms of appointment, it can be a little rushed but that is because they are a busy practice. If you want someone that is going to give you hours every appointment then this is not the place. But if you want someone that you know has your best interest when giving birth, this is the place.

Review from the 2020 Birthing Experience SurveyI loved Dr. Rhee! She’s not warm and fuzzy, but she’s smart and funny and incredibly good at what she does. I ended up with a c section after 19 hours because my baby wouldn’t turn & had heart rate issues and she was amazing. I felt so safe and confident in her hands. If you need a lot of TLC she’s probably not for you, but I adore her.

Review from the 2020 Birthing Experience SurveyShe [Dr. Rhee] was great!

2019 Birth SurveyShe [Dr. Rhee] is one of 5 in the practice and probably my least favorite. She can be a bit short and cold, though I had total confidence in her knowledge and experience. She did not deliver my first child (the midwife in her practice did) but delivered my second via c-section. I do wish she had offered more advice regarding post-op care.

[Summer2017Babies] OBGYNI had Dr. Rhee at the same practice and absolutely loved her, but when we did the rounds at the end and met all the doctors (in case they were on-call when I went into labor), Dr. Nabizadeh definitely left me wondering whether we should have been seeing HER all along. She was great!
