My son and I are part of the Zofran case...for those who are unaware, Zofran was prescribed to…read morepregnant women to combat morning sickness and caused a number of children, including my own, to suffer being born with a cleft lip, palate, or both. We first met Dr. Jabbour in the NICU of Magee Women's Hospital where I delivered my son (which was not Children's Hospital, where Dr. Jabbour is based out of) and from the very first meeting with us, he remembered details like our names, our son's exact condition, he recognized my grandfather, and it even turned out that he and our baby's PCP are friends from medical school and our PCP takes his own kids to see Dr. Jabbour.
I'm not sure what more I can really say about him...he was professional every step of the way, he was gentle and kind with our baby, he gave us much needed confidence in his ability to "fix" our son and came through with flying colors. He has amazing bedside manner and whether he was dealing with dad and I or our son himself, he was always sweet, kind, and wonderful.
Dr. Jabbour made what began as a terrifying and unexpected situation into something that my husband and I actually felt we could manage...and we did. On October 27th, Dr. Jabbour performed our son's furlough palate repair and did such an amazing job that we actually got to leave the hospital after only one night when 95% of patients sleep over for two nights. We have a follow-up on the 12th coming up and to be honest, I am a little sad that we won't be seeing him as part of our routine doctor visits anymore. On the other hand, I am eternally grateful to him for treating my son with such tender, loving care and I hope to never have to deal with an issue related to my son's (former) cleft palate.
If you find yourself in need of a pediatric ENT doctor or have a child with a cleft lip or palate, I'd highly recommend requesting that Dr. Jabbour be part of your cleft team. He is a skilled surgeon, a kind and gentle man, and someone who truly excels at what he does...I know I could never do the job he does, but I hope that the gratefulness he receives from both parents and patients alike makes it that much more worthwhile to him.
I created this account specifically to write a review about this Dr. and I really hope it goes through because Dr. Jabbour deserves the respect, recognition, and our everlasting thanks for all that he has done to change our baby's life.
