I was referred to this doctor for convenience, but my experience was upsetting and fear-inducing. After recovering from BV, I came in for a first time checkup. He said my Pap smear was "slightly abnormal" and immediately ordered a COLPOSCOPY without testing for HPV or explaining what "slightly abnormal" meant. Not to mention I am only 25 years old. He told me I "probably have HPV and it could be cancerous," which left me in tears after the appointment. A colposcopy is invasive and usually recommended based on the severity of results and confirmed high-risk HPV -- neither of which were explained or confirmed in my case. I sought a second opinion from my female gynecologist back home, had a full STD and HPV panel done, and everything came back completely normal. No further procedures were needed. I left feeling scared and pressured rather than informed or cared for. I would not recommend this doctor based on my experience. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rabin for about two years now. I understand why some are put off by the self advertising throughout the office and requests for 5 star reviews. I was too. But he has certainly earned it with me over time. Pros: -He is exceptional at answering questions in person and making sure you fully understand the answers. -He helped me discover that my increasing migraines were linked to the hormonal birth control I was on and he was helpful in attempts to find a decent replacement that fit for me (when I was in need of BC). -Office staff have over all been very kind. -I had a miscarriage scare recently and he went above and beyond to help me understand the situation and what I could expect going forward. Cons: -Luckily I am still pregnant but since Dr. Rabin no longer delivers, I will have to find a new OBGYN for the next year at least. -His brand of humor may be off putting to some people. -I did have to follow up frequently whenever I need to make an appointment for sudden issues like UTIs and YIs. -Parking for the building he is located in sucks. I always leave extra early to allow time for circling to find a spot. read more

Google reviews saw it first... but putting this here too in case it might help someone in the future: I wish I could give this place 0 stars. First and foremost, the receptionist is a remarkably unpleasant and unsympathetic human being. Second, I went to this doctor with agonizing, excruciating menstrual cramping and Dr. Rabin condescendingly wrote me a "prescription" on a post-it note for Aleve, stating that some people just get cramps and there's nothing we can do about it. I told him I've tried Aleve, I tried everything, and I need help. If he couldn't help me, he should have referred me to a specialist. Now here I am yet again, four Aleves deep each day, bedridden, screaming, vomiting, and sobbing from pain. But at least I can take comfort in knowing it's "normal." So thanks for that. UPDATE: For anyone out there who read this review and had a similar experience, please seek another opinion. As it turns out, I had a progressed form of a disease called endometriosis as well as adenomyosis. These differential diagnoses were made by a gynecologist at UCLA and were then confirmed and treated by a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai who truly saved my life. I promise you, there are answers and there IS something you can do about it! read more

I went here several years ago because my insurance changed and I had a problem with a cyst on an ovary. I got in the elevator along with a woman who reeked of cigarette smoke and she was rude. Come to find out this was the Dr.'s "nurse". He did not take my problem seriously, making jokes about it. He said there wasn't anything to do about it. I left feeling weird but before I left he said to be sure to leave a 5 star Yelp review. I think it's not normal for a Dr. to have as many reviews as he does and all close to 5 stars. My insurance changed back and I was able to see my regular ONGYN again and never went back here. read more

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and experienced gynecologist, Dr. Rabin is amazing. He's one of the few specialists in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy who really knows what he's doing. What sets him apart is his holistic approach--he actually listens and takes the time to understand your concerns. His bedside manner is so kind and reassuring, making the whole experience much easier and more comfortable. I've been seeing Dr. Rabin since 2013, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. He's truly the best and someone you can rely on for exceptional care. read more

Steven is lovely and great at what he does. Good energy. Front desk can be a little stern, but he more than males up for it once you meet him. read more

I don't know what other reviewers are talking about. If they call a fake plastic smile, scripted words reading doctor as being friendly then they need life experiences. Are most of them single not to know what kind of a man he is? He's an AdotdotHole. Period. He sure has a very "friendly" script of greeting he wrote that he repeats to every patient but he is not friendly or nice. He's condescending, inheritently non compassionate bad human being who is ambitious. He surely knows how to get 4.5 stars with his plastic attitude. Don't go to him if you have any human problems. He'll probably mock you. read more

The Only Reason I'm changing this to a 3 is due to the receptionist. Maria and after a year! I thought. At first. She was just having a bad day and I would ignore the bad attitude but after 2 visits a horrific phone call the other day I can't stay quiet! My first appointment I made the mistake of not giving both my insurance cards and apologized for inconveniencing her and she rolled her eyes and my spikes asked why I was apologizing and I said it looked like I bothered her and he said well as soon as I was called in she was pleasant to the next patient, I let it go, 2nd visit again unpleasant, again I ignore and just pay and. Go about my business, but Sunday night I like all Dr . Rabin Patients received an email about the new changes in his practice so I called 1st thing Monday , (yesterday) to get a referral which he referrenced in the email, I was greeted with the Utmost Rudeness, and attitude telling me that I needed to call the hospital as she couldn't tell me which drs accepted my insurance for care, when I tried to politely tell her about what the email stated she got nastier and hung up, I called back and made the mistake which was my bad and called her honey and asked why she had such a hard time to do what the email asked and reluctantly sent me a list of primary care doctors which isn't the care needed, then again after that email she sent a list of drs that are obgyn. Dr Rabin is the best Dr around sad Maria is this way and has been since the day we started here, don't know if she was informed patients would be calling for referrals or not but slamming down phones on people isn't professional , neither has any visit here as each time it has felt so uncomfortable! Don't know what we ever did to upset her except be friendly to miss Maria! Now hopefully we can find a Dr since we still really have no answers. Because we really couldn't get any from Maria sadly! read more

I didn't even get as far as making an appt. As when Maria called back and I was trying to explain I am looking for a menopause specialist because I've been suffering many years. Her response was "do you want an appt.?" Didnt offer up any other info just a nasty attitude. I was taken aback and said I am not understanding why you are being rude. I guess I will call another office. She hung up on me. Shocking. Looks like she's had other bad days based on reviews. read more

Dr. Rabin is amazing and I'm so sad my insurance doesn't cover his practice anymore. Great doctor! Would definitely go back to him if I had the chance. He takes his time and explains things to you and he has an excellent bedside manner, always very gentle and kind. read more

I was hesitant to see a male OBGYN but from the second I walked into the office I was greeted with a warm staff, I felt welcomed right away. Dr. Rabin not only made me feel extremely comfortable, he listened, understood and was very knowledgeable. He explained things and options with me throughly. I didn't feel rushed, I actually felt heard for once. I highly recommend Dr. Rabin, he is personable, he has a sense of humor, he makes it easy to discuss otherwise awkward things openly. read more

I have moved to California recently and was looking for a good doctor to follow up with on my yearly checkups. I have to say that I am beyond grateful for finding Dr. Steven as this experience could not be better. He is knowledgeable, professional but he also cares for his patients. Even though I am a new patient, Dr. Steven and his team have made me feel like a part of their family. Thank you so much Advanced Gynecology Solutions team and Dr. Steven for making this visit easy and fun. Could not make a better decision. read more

Guys. My meno-possie. When i say this guy is the shit-- I MEAN THIS GUY IS THE SHIT!!! He made me his last appt ( all of his meno- possie hormone consults are last- why?! Because he loves this particular part of his job so much that he wants to end "on the fun ones." He is funny, so dang smart, explains everything he is prescribing and why- he let me cry and laugh and everything in-between. If you need help with your 'mones-- and live in Los Angeles- look no further. I have been going through literal hell and I finally feel like I am in capable hands --and am being heard. Doc- if you happen to read this- THANK YOU! JB read more

I have to finally say something after I have met with an actual expert on menopause. DO NOT go to Dr Rabin for menopausal issues he is not aware of the actual needs of a woman going through menopause! I had gone to him for a couple years when I was in perimenopause and having issues and he took me in the wrong directions in guiding me into my menopause. Please get a 2nd opinion on that if you are seeing him for that. Maybe he is a decent gynecologist?? Find a doctor that specializes in womens menopause issues if you can. read more

First of all I would like to thank the staff for getting me in so quickly. The location is convenient, the office is calm with lovely music to relax you. The staff is amazing they made sure I was comfortable provided extra tampon, wipe offered me water and even asked if the room was warm enough. Dr. Rabin is amazing very gentle kind and well mannered. The doctor went through all of my concerns and had offered multiple options for my issue. read more

I'm so grateful to have learned about Dr Rabin as he has given me a new lease on life. My energy and enthusiasm is So much better and he's a joy to talk to with a truckload (30 years worth) of knowledge and humor. read more

I haven't seen the doctor yet, but Maria is absolutely amazing. Her customer service is top notch and she's even better in person! I feel so comfortable already. Edit: Dr. Rabin is the truth!!!! I love him already. My annual exam went well and he explained everything to me down to a T. I will forever come to him as long as I'm in LA. Please come here. read more

Dr. Rabin is one of the BEST gynecologists I've ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable about so many things, explains things very well, is very patient, and also seems to have a great sense of humor. He responds to questions in a very timely manner and is very organized with your health history. He has an excellent bedside manner and that makes a HUGE difference in how patients view their doctors. I really wish he still delivered babies because that is such a stressful time for women and his bedside manner will make their experience so much more pleasant. As a woman, your reproductive health is so important and with excellent doctors like Dr. Rabin, you know that you'll be in good hands. I highly HIGHLY recommend him. read more

Dr. Rabin is caring, and generous, as well as how to treat people from all walks of life incredibly knowledgeable in his field. I feel very blessed to have him and his wonderful care in my life. Thank you, Dr. Rabin! I hope life is as good to you as you are to others. read more

My GYN that I had been going to for 40 years up and quit and I was feeling a little lost with no referral or how to access my previous records. I'm please to say that today I found a new one, Dr. Steven Rabin. I knew the minute I walked in that this was a good fit for me. A lovely woman at the front desk greeted me and took my insurance information, I wasn't asked to fill out a million forms and went right in to the examination room with no wait. Next the Dr. asked me questions during our one-on-one. He explained what my annual examination would consist of, additionally he address a certain concern I had and recommended a cost effective solution. I'm so glad to have found this Dr. it is a little distance since I live in La Canada but worth the trip and I found street parking which is always a bonus, went I left he asked me how the front desk and nurse treated me, I couldn't be happier! read more

If you are looking for a gynecologist in Burbank, CA area, Dr. Steven Rabin is the one to see. He is professional, thorough, and listens. His manner will put you at ease. And most important, he knows his field like no other. read more

I did a lot of research before scheduling my visit as I looking for a gyn only doctor that could help me with menopausal issues. Dr. Rabin's review on Yelp helped me make the decision. I live an hour away and, when I arrived, I was cheerfully greeted and was brought back quickly. Dr. Rabin has a great sense of humor and carefully explained why I should switch from oral to topical HRT. He told me to check back in a few months for further treatment if necessary. Other doctors in the past had not done a proper exam or looked at a smear under the microscope and he did both. I did not feel rushed and felt that he listened well to my complaints. I recommended him to two of my coworkers and they are both planning to see him even though it's a long drive from where we live. read more

All I can say is wow! I was very hesitant to try a male gyno because of past traumas, but the female gynecologists that I've tried in the valley were hurtful, curt and cold. Dr Rabin was the kindest most lighthearted and knowledgeable gyno I've ever had. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, and he answered all my questions without making me feel dumb. I didn't realize my insurance wasn't contracted with him but I might just have to pay out of pocket forever. I really can't praise him enough! Thank you Dr Rabin! read more

I had my annual exam today, and it was my first time seeing Dr. Rabin, and I instantly felt comfortable! He took the time to talk with me and go over everything before my actual exam and get to know my history. After previous bad experiences with gynecologists, I was extremely impressed with how professional, kind and quick and easy he made the process. If I could give him 10 stars I would! read more

I can't recommend Dr. Rabin and his team enough. They're truly incredible--I won't go anywhere else!! Helped me through a lot of trauma from my prior gyno and I'm forever grateful. read more

Dr. Rabin is a breath of fresh air. As someone who is extremely squeamish, I normally get anxious about pelvic exams. However, my experience at his office was easier than any other I've had - including those with female doctors. Dr. Rabin is friendly, warm, empathetic, and hilarious, which really put my anxiety at ease. Because he was interested in how I was feeling overall rather than hyper focusing on my reproductive health only, I ended up sharing symptoms that I didn't even realize had an impact on my reproductive health and therefore he was able to help me with two issues instead of just the one that I came in for. I left the appointment feeling heard and relieved to have had my symptoms taken seriously. 10/10 would recommend to a friend (and I will). read more

Had to leave a review because of how amazing my visit was! I was very nervous about seeing a male doctor and have grown to expect experiencing a lot of pain during routine checkups so was hoping this time would be different. Luckily it was! He assured me I would not experience my usual pain and I was skeptical at first but he was right! He was so thorough and kind and receptive to my pain. Made me feel really comfortable and safe and understood. Talked to me the entire time to make sure I was okay throughout everything. By far the best gynecologist I've ever visited, so much so that I felt compelled to leave this 5 star rating so others know to go see him! read more

Found Dr. Rabin on Yelp since I wanted to get a 2nd opinion. His office staff was very helpful and Dr. Rabin was so nice, patient, explained what he was doing and why. He provided a simple fix to my issue and now a year later, he is now my OB. read more

Dr Rabin is an excellent doctor. He is very meticulous, and thorough. He also has a warm, humorous demeanor and bedside manner. His office staff are attentive, and pleasant. I highly reccomend Dr Rabin to anyone looking for a top shelf gynecologist. read more

I got my IUD inserted here and they didn't even offer me any pain medication and suggest that I should take any. Also while it was being inserted Dr. Rabin said my cervix was smiling at him. It was very inappropriate and creepy. After that visit I found a new OBGYN. read more

I saw Dr. Rabin today at the recommendation of a friend who loves him. I can see why. I didn't feel rushed, he took his time with me, we discussed options and he walked me through everything. I am very encouraged and thankful for his bedside manner. read more

I had been to many different doctors trying to figure what could be my issues with my unusual cycles and how to regulate them safely. Going to Dr. Rabin he not only cares about my gynecological health but my over all health. I love that he makes you feel at ease and comfortable always. One of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Also during this COVID-19 period he is having virtual visits that are so seamless and easy to access! Not only can you speak to him in the comfort of your home but the web link they have set up is so user friendly! read more

I had to find a new Gynecologist and was pleasantly surprised to have found Dr. Rabin. He's got such a great personality and very professional. He actually listens without cutting you off or making you feel like an idiot! I was very comfortable with him and his staff. Everyone made the visit a friendly one. See you next year!! read more

It was April, not a hot day and 9am in the morning. He was sweating profusely through his white dr jacket and he had a wet forehead. He was loud and erratic. It occurred to me he was on drugs. Dr. Rabin became abusive when I went in to see him, yelling at me in front of the waiting room because he thought i'd said something i shouldn't to his staff. I thought I was to have an exam (thank god it didn't happen) but he finagled me out of his office. It occurred to me he was on drugs. I reported him to my primary care dr, who was also a male, and he told me to let it go, the man had a family. I'll just say this: steer clear of him. I have documentation and a letter of apology from him if anyone wants to see it. #MeToo read more

I am always so nervous going to a new provider, however, Dr. Rabin and his kind, professional staff instantly make you feel completely comfortable! Dr. Rabin is so friendly, warm, and funny that I forgot how nervous I was for my annual exam. He listens to your concerns and genuinely cares about his patients. The office has convenient free street parking right outside for 2 hrs. My appointment was right on time and it was truly the easiest annual exam I've ever had. I highly recommend this office! read more

Dr. Rabin is the best gynecologist I have seen. I've had issues for years and have seen several doctors in the past. Dr. Rabin was the first to really listen, acknowledge my issues, offer reasonable solutions, and refer me to an excellent surgeon. I'm now almost 2 months post-surgery, and am so thankful to to finally be heard, and to be on the road to recovery. Dr. Rabin made me feel completely at ease and answered all my questions. I have referred friends, and will continue to see Dr. Rabin. I can't praise him enough. read more

If I could give 6 stars or more, I would. Dr Rabin is kind, professional, efficient, and highly knowledgeable-especially when it comes to issues of older women. I always look for a gyno that doesn't deliver babies because that always led to me sitting in waiting rooms for ridiculous amounts of time. This is how I found Dr Rabin. (I can tell you an old story of me helping myself to some items in a cabinet of a different Doctor's office once after being left sitting naked from the waist down on a cold, hard table for nearly an hour right before dressing and marching out of that office, but that is a better story over a glass of wine) But back to Dr Rabin - they best part of seeing him is the education he provided about menopause and the guidance he came up with after really listening to me and my symptoms and issues. Every woman entering peri-menopause should see Dr Rabin to learn and prepare and understand options. read more

I am upgrading this to 5 stars. I docked a star because of the parking situation, but parking be damned - Dr. Rabin is five stars. I'd park 5 blocks away on a valley-inferno 105 degree day just to see him. I didn't even cry on my last visit, he was that quick, respectful and sweet. He personally calls you with results, even if all is well, and is just so darn awesome. LOVE!!!!! read more

I had my annual exam today and I was nervous bc the first exam I ever got was done so poorly somewhere else and it hurt so bad!! BUT Steven Rabin was so quick and it didn't hurt at all! He made the process so easy and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Super grateful for him! read more

I'm sure the doctor is nice but the fact that I waited over three weeks for an appointment and when I get there the receptionist wants to tell me I have a to pay of $250 and then except my insurance is unacceptable. I wasted over a month and asked specifically when I made the appointment and was told I could come in. Who wants to pay $250 when you actually have a good insurance? This is really ridiculous. What a waste of time. read more
