Dr. Christina Sebestyen, OBGYN

Dr. Sebestyen is absolutely amazing! Somehow the moons aligned for me, moving to texas in my 2nd trimester I thought it would be impossible to find a supportive of natural child birth OBGYN, then I met Dr. S - immediatly both my husband and I fell in love with her and had the most amazing pregnancy. Every meeting she took her time, listened, it was easy to forget she was a doctor and not a friend because of her sincerity and deep caring she gives to her patients. Then the magical day happened when I had my first baby - Dr. S. was truly a gift! She worked with us during our roller coaster ride of labor and gave constant support and encouragement. She is not a doctor to just come in and 'catch' - she stayed with us for HOURS!!! Althought my memory of the day is fuzzy I remember her coming around 4:00 (after being in and out all day) and stayed till 3 am!!! What doctor does that these days!? AMAZING! And we had a succesful completly natural child birth with the help of Dr. S and our equally amazing doula. If you are wonderfing who to go with feel confident with Dr. S - all you have to do is meet her 1 time and know that she is the doctor you want to go to and you would want ANYONE in your family to go to.

Pros: Like having a midwife with an Ivy League Degree

Cons: having an amazing doctor!!! (no cons here)

Dr. Sebestyen provides the kind of compassionate medical care that is rare these days. After we learned that our baby had passed away in utero we were DENIED treatment by other doctors in town because we had been in the care of a midwife. When we spoke with Dr. Sebestyen she immediately offered her assistance and was willing to listen to our concerns, worries, and heartbreak. I would highly recommend her to women needing OB care.

Dr. Sebestyen is an absolute breath of fresh air! After having met her, I wondered if she was really too good to be true. Now, after having referred numerous friends and clients to her for OB care, I have to admit I am absolutely blown away by the quality of care that her patients receive. Dr. Sebestyen takes time to listen her to her patients and really understand their wishes. She treats each woman as an individual and knows them each on a personal level, rather than by their due date or file number. I have attended several births as a doula with Dr. Sebestyen and her patience, gentle nature, and knowledge of her craft are second to none. Seriously, this woman is one of a kind in this city. I urge anyone seeking OB care to put Dr. Sebestyen at the top of your list.

Pros: She takes her time & listens, treats each patient as an individual

Cons: None!

I saw Dr. Sebestyen today for a follow up after complications during labor. I saw a midwife my entire pregnancy and had a planned homebirth. I was transferred to the hospital after complications and ended up giving birth in the hospital. I received a fourth degree episiotomy and am still experiencing complications from that procedure (not done by Dr. Sebestyen). I decided to go to Dr. Sebestyen after reading that she is supportive of midwifery and natural birthing practices. She was extremely personable and patient in listening to my tale of labor and complications. She supported my decision in using a midwife, instead of patronizing me as other doctors have. She explained my complications in terms that were easy to understand and was very reassuring that regardless of where those complications took me, she would be there to help. She is extremely supportive of breastfeeding and is conscientious in her use of and prescribing of medications. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is the doctor we have been needing for many years here in Austin - knowledgeable, understanding, and truly supportive of women's rights to the best treatment available.

Pros: openness, knowledgeability, listening skills

Dr Sebestyen was very supportive as the covering OB for my VBAC ( birth after cesarean) delivery. She met me at the hospital and she was a wonderful presence the whole night. She listened to my wishes with minimal intervention and everything went smoothly. I had a healthy boy and the delivery I so wanted to experience.

I have worked on a professional level with Dr. Christina Sebestyen. I can assure you that her medical qualifications and expertise are without question. Dr. Sebestyen completed her OB/GYN residency at Harvard's Women's Hospital......you can't get any better than that. She is committed to providing the very best care for all her patients, obstetrics and gynecology alike. Dr. Sebestyen gives the women of Austin a fresh and needed OB/GYN option. Plus....she is a a lovely, compassionate, nice person. You can feel safe and secure with your medical health decision when choosing Dr. Sebestyen as your Obstetrician and/or Gynecologist. You will not be disappointed.
