Dr. Cecilia Avila

Very unprofessional. Came into the room and did not even introduce herself. We had never dealt with her before. She proceeded to inform my wife and I of concerns noticed on ultra sound but did not explain what they meant for our twins! As my wife is asking for follow up questions and asking if what she has been feeling is normal she basically said to call our regular OB with any questions we may have. As we then proceeded to ask more questions in regards to what she had came in to inform us, she was already walking out the room with her back towards us not even giving us the respect to turn around and answer, she simply said "follow up with your OB" and walked out. I found out her name through our reg OB and will make it a point to make sure my wife is not seen by her as she obviously has not interest for what happens with the rest of our pregnancy.

I am so grateful to Dr. Avila! Her skill and persistence allowed for me to have a successful external cephalic version so that I could have a vaginal delivery for my second child.

I was under Dr. Avila's care for a Mono/Di twin pregnancy. She was excellent and I grew to trust her very quickly. I can understand how some may perceive her as being very conservative, but she will advise you as she would her own daughter, advocate for your birth plans, and provide honest feedback if she feels it is necessary. I attribute the healthy delivery of our children to her vigilance and experience.

This is by far the Best OBGYN.... When I went into labor she was away on vacation,She gave me her cellphone number Incase.She basically stopped everything (while away on vacation)and talked to all the nurses,doctors and myself to guide me through the birth of my daughter!!! And my daughter was a grieving 28 hours of labor...Dr.Avila made me feel as tho she was there with me instead of her on vacation..Yes there were dropped calls here n there because she was away but she never gave up on me till my beautiful daughter vaginally came out...She’s a women of a few words but she knows what she’s doing...Highly Recomended ????

Awful human & extremely opinionated. Her practice is fear and intimidation based. She will make up her mind about what she thinks is going on with you before you even meet her, and will refuse to consider your inpur or perspective. She cannot explain anything in a simple manner and you leave her office feeling more confused and with even more questions. She lacks knowledge and human decency. She jumps to push prescription medications very quickly, even when not medically necessary. She convinced me and terrified me of "problems" with my pregnancy that were flat out incorrect. I will never see her again and was assured by my OB that will be the case. My OB disapproved of every word that came out of this lady's mouth. Not sure how she made out of medical school with such lack of knowledge and god awful people skills. Go elsewhere.

Not very warm and fuzzy. She brushed my concerns and issues with my pregnancy off. Very disheartened with my visit today. I switched to one of the partners.

My OB Referred me to see her as I was a high risk pregnancy. I have never seen a doctor with so much concern and so willing to take their time to help a patient. She was attentive and really looked into my case, wasn’t there just to have me in and out just to see the next patient. I think the end of my pregnancy and birth of my baby would’ve been much different if it wasn’t for her catching details of my baby that my regular OB was not paying attention to.

I have had two separate experiences-not by choice-with her(one due to a loss, one now with a current high risk pregnancy)both were horrific & we will never see her again. I don't think she is knowledgeable or in the right field. She scared us into thinking many things about my previous & current pregnancy that were not correct. She has a way of making you feel scared, helpless & belittled,things you never want if you are high risk. She certainly does not have ANY bedside matter. Stay away :)

Allows her personal opinions to interfere with being professional. She will talk about you to coworkers within earshot. Consults are 45-60 min bc she repeats herself so much.

Horror Show. Steer clear of her and her Nurse Practitioner.

She is amazing! Wish I had found her earlier. She helped me through preterm delivery in 2010 Stony brook residents made a lot of errors but she was amazing.

Has no bedside manner

Dr. Avila was amazing. After a scare early in my pregnancy, Dr. Avila took me on as a patient. When other doctors claimed that my baby had no chance, Dr. Avila remained calm and reassuring. She made sure to explain everything to me and to advise me on what I had to do to assist my pregnancy. On the day I delivered, Dr. Avila came to the hospital to deliver my baby when she wasn't even on call. Her expertise helped me deliver the baby without posing risks to myself.

I had a few loses n was told I couldn't have children she has blessed me with a healthy,normal handsome boy and now I'm currently pregnant w/a girl! She gives u ??% and that's what I luv about her the best! A True Angel??
