Dana M. Block-Abraham, DO

Dr. Block-Abraham is an incredible clinician who practices her work with the highest level of professionalism and competence. She demonstrated compassion and understanding during my procedure and gave us complete peace during a stressful time. I am so grateful for her skills and expertise in her field. Thank you for such a wonderful visit and for taking such incredible care of our baby.

I found her to be dismissive and rude; rushed me out and had no bedside manner. Told me my baby being small 'wasn't normal' when there is always the possibility that a baby is just small without any complications as was abundantly clear by my test results. I guess healthy petite people don't exist in the world then? Worst MFM doctor i saw during what was already a stressful third trimester; I left feeling stressed out and sad.

No bedside manner. Told me I needed to be induced and when I asked what the reason was, she asked if I wanted a stillborn. A simple medical explanation would do next time. To this day I’m not convinced an induction was necessary but I’ve learned my lesson. Get a second opinion or avoid this doctor

I rarely write online reviews, unless it’s something amazing or horrible. Well, sadly this doctor is horrible. At least her bedside manners, and I didn’t get a chance to learn anything else about her. She is very unprofessional, rushed into my room while I was still undressed and started discussing my personal issues with other people present. She never really explained anything and behaved as if I am stupid. I trust medical professionals but I also want to understand what’s happening to me. I am a licensed professional myself (I am a lawyer) and I would be definitely fired for such behavior.

I was sent to this practice for a first trimester screening after finding out I was having twins. After the sonogram and getting some tests done (the tech and the nurse were amazing and kind) I went in to see dr block for a consultation and she went into all the potential complications that could happen with identical twins. She said that I would be receiving sonograms every 2 weeks and then every week closer to my due date to monitor to make sure I didn’t develop any thing. I asked if there was any radiation in sonograms? Her reply was “doesn’t matter you’re getting them anyway.” Then stating “no, they’re sound waves” she talked more and told me that she wouldn’t let me go past 37 weeks. So I asked, “oh what’s the reason for that?” And she said “well, in short, they’ll die” I was really shocked at my visit with her. Instead of receiving medical reasons why she was making decisions, I received very aggressive answers. I will never go back to that practice. I do NOT trust nor believe… that she actually cares at all for the well-being of my babies or me. I felt no compassion from this woman. I just couldn’t believe it. There are other doctors in this practice but I wouldn’t want to risk being stuck with her on my delivery day.

Dr. Block is a fantastic doctor! She is so well-versed in high risk pregnancies and accurately predicted and reacted to every turn during my mono di triplet pregnancy. She was calm and comforting and extremely responsive in between appointments (which were once a week at the end). She is very evidence based but also listens carefully to your concerns. Sometimes she’d even spot a symptom I hadn’t identified or mentioned yet like a hoarse voice (turns out pregnancy can even swell your vocal cords!). After surgery she came to visit me, while I visited my kids, in the NICU and never made me feel like I was wasting her time (which I know is precious!).

I had the luxury of having Dr. Block look after me and my baby this year. Finding out something is wrong with your baby can be both stressful and nerve wracking, however Dr. Block made the process as easygoing as possible. She was straight forward and honest with me when it came to all of my concerns. Her professionalism allowed me to fully prepare for what's to come. That alone, made me want to request Dr.Block at every appointment, and every encounter with her was pleasant because she is encouraging, kind and understanding. Despite me repeatedly asking the same questions during every appointment she made sure to always fulfill my concerns. She is incredible at her job and I hope to see her again when I have my next pregnancy.

She's very rude, unprofessional, and shows no empathy to any type of complications women may experience during pregnancy. I'm also not sure If her knowledge base supersedes her terrible interpersonal skills. Again, avoid at all costs

This is the first doctor who has compelled me to write an online review in order to warn other patients. She is unkind and disrespectful. I had never met her before, but she was on call the day I went into labor. She turned up at pre-op and looked almost angry that she had to perform a c section. I asked her what I can expect during the surgery because I had never had surgery before and well....I was about to have my first baby (surely this is understandably a big deal). She snapped back saying "What do you want? A play by play??" She made me feel afraid - I did not feel comfortable that she was going to cut me open! You need to be able to trust your surgeon after all. I do not understand why she is in the field of high risk obstetrics when she is unable to show basic consideration towards women undergoing high risk pregnancies. Technical competence is not the only skill required in this kind of medical situation.

She has the worst bed side manner ever, mean, and disrespectful. After she had my c section done I complained about pain in my abdomen. She said what do you want me to do ?! Do you want me to re open you and see what is going on?! She also got mad because she had to wait while I was in the bathroom because I had sever constipation after the c section. My husband told her that I’m in the bathroom and might take long and asked her to go and come back. She decided to wait and she wasn’t happy. I won’t recommend her to anybody. At first bust she seemed nice but after that she turned to a monster
