Dr Haddad has delivered my 2 babies, both completely different births, the first being an emergency c-section (3 years ago) after a failed ECV to turn my Breech baby, and the second, was 2 weeks ago, and a successful VBAC. The first birth i was with a midwifery practice who collaborated with Dr Haddad to perform ECVs and in the event of a C-section, Dr Haddad would perform with my midwife, which is what ended up happening. It felt like a traumatic experience for me on the one end, bc it all happened so quickly and what i dreamed of being a successful ECV resulting in me going into labor and delivering vaginally, quickly turned touch and go into an emergency c-section, which i hadn’t mentally or emotionally totally prepared for i guess. Being in the fragile state and having only met Dr Haddad for the first time at my ECV and imminent birth, it was crazy how quickly and instinctively we came to trust him and feel totally safe in his hands. Even in an emergency situation he remained… totally calm, collected, professional and so kind and gentle, and everyone around him in the hospital respects him so much, it was miraculous to watch him orchestrate this birth the way he did. It wasn’t the birth i dreamed of, and it was very stressful and scary for me, but I was so grateful i was able to at least have a “Gentle Caesarian” and a beautiful and completely healthy baby in my arms moments later, and be in the hands of a doctor who immediately put us at ease to know he was in charge and delivering my healthy baby to me without fail. Fast forward 3 years later, I was able to finally have that VBAC i had been dreaming about, and while it was by no means an easy, quick and predictable labor and delivery, the important thing was that i was always supported by him and able to VBAC and that he delivered me my healthy perfect baby in the end, which was my dream come true. The rest doesn’t even matter. I am fully aware that so many other doctors would have pushed me to get a C-section to make matters easier, less stressful and more convenient, but never ever for a second was that Dr Haddad. He knew how important this was to me and i knew that the only way this was ever ending in a c-section was if it was 100% medically necessary, and that he would fight till the bitter end with me if it was safe and we were both up for the fight. I felt like he was my coach, my rock, my doula, my father, my doctor, he was all of these wonderful roles put together and i think we both knew in our heart or hearts that we were going to have this VBAC and healthy baby at the end of this journey, and that we were going to get there together...and we did.
Without getting into too much detail,
Dr Haddad has also been with me through some very dark times and deep struggles and hardships, and so i can also attest to the kind of doctor he is not only when you are pregnant and in labor and delivery, but also when you are not pregnant but trying, or just trying to heal, or whatever stage of your journey you may be on, he has been with me and my husband, and he has always been so kind, gentle, compassionate, supportive, flexible and accommodating, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has always been exactly what we needed, and what i imagine anyone would need during these delicate times in our lives. He is the kind of doctor I would recommend to my family, bc i would only want thr very best care for them, so that should clearly indicate my level of trust and love and respect for him.
He cares about his patients, he cares about what’s important to them, and he will never push his own agenda over yours, unless it’s what’s truly in the best interest of you and your baby. It brings me great pleasure to share my positive experience for Dr. Haddad bc i hope others can find themselves under his care and share the same sentiments and experiences that I have.
