        Doctor Abdalla has been my provider during some of the darkest and brightest times of life. From immediately solving a 2 year long fertility battle for me, to taking over care for me when he was not the on-call doctor in the hospital in the middle of the night, to providing calming energy when I needed it most, this doctor is the best OBGYN I have ever had. He is not an alarmist and is very calm under pressure. I would never see another provider as long as I can avoid it. If I could give 10 stars I would!<\/p>\n

        My wife and I have our first baby with Dr. Abdalla and his team at Sawgrass Women Healthcare! BEST DOCTOR AND STAFF! He is extremely friendly and definitely knows h stuff. My wife had to get an emergency C and he was there for us when everything just started hitting the fan. His staff were extremely friendly. I had a blast going for every doc visit with the nurses joking around. Definitely made this entire process smooth. He extremely skilled and experienced and even though I am no longer in FL, I am seriously interviewing other OBGYNs to see if they meet his standards. Dr. Abdalla, if you are reading this, we will never forget you.<\/p>\n

        Dr. Catalano is a godsend. He\u2019s a very patient person who genuinely cares about his patients He always takes the time to explain things to me in terms that I can understand. He\u2019s diligent i making sure my health is the best it can be. The entire staff is wonderful. I would recomme Dr. Catalano to anyone seeking a kind, compassionate, and brilliant doctor and surgeon! Dr. Catalano was also my daughter\u2019s obstetrician and thanks to him she is still alive after a ve serious complication after the delivery. Thanks to him I still have my daughter<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

        I have seen Donna for about ten years now. I started seeing her for symptoms of menopause, and she helped me navigate the otherwise confusing paths. She also prescribed natural bio-identical hormones because I didn\u2019t want to do synthetic HRT. I have always had my questions answered, and have recommended her to friends and coworkers. I will continue to be a loyal patient to Donna as long as she is practicing!<\/p>\n

        Dr. Abdalla is so wonderful. Great personality, knowledgeable, empathetic, and makes sure you fully understand everything. He was hopeful for me after my miscarriage and couldn\u2019t have asked for a better health professional. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

        Dr. Abdalla and his staff are absolutely amazing. He and His nurse practitioner Donna are extremely professional, caring, and they make sure that you understand things at every appointment. I did have to see the other physician one time during an OB appointment and he was great as well. If there is ever a wait due to the doctor, or the nurse practitioners being in a delivery, the office is very communicative, and they keep you informed. Originally I had seen another OB when I first found out I was pregnant and did not have a great experience so I was recommended to see Dr Abdalla. I cannot express how thankful I am to have made the switch.<\/p>\n

        Dr. Emil Abdalla is the best!.. He delivered my daughter. He listened to what I wanted for my delivery plan & catered to me. Just him & one nurse for the baby in the room. It was a beautiful experience. He has done an excellent job of taking care of my health care needs both before and after. I have been seeing him for 20 years now. One time I was not feeling good and called the office and he was the one who called me back to talk to me. That is excellent patient care. 5 stars \ud83c\udf1f #1 Gynecologist<\/p>\n

        He is absolute magic! Caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Dr. C delivered both of my children as well as my sister\u2019s. He has the best team. I met him through my original provider who was unable to complete a procedure for me and Dr. C stepped in. He took time and care to explain the situation and encouraged me to continue trying. We now have two beautiful children. Not only will he listen but also refer you to the best outside of his specialty if needed.<\/p>\n

        We are fortunate and blessed to have such a dedicated and exemplary Doctor\/surgeon. Thank you so much Dr. C! \u2764\ufe0f We are eternally grateful to you and your team.<\/p>\n
