Steve Rad, MD, FACOG: Los Angeles International Fetal-Maternal Care Center- Perinatologist, High Risk Pregnancy, OBGYN

“From the very first appointment to the final weeks of my high-risk pregnancy, I felt completely safe and supported in Dr. Rad’s care. Being labeled “high-risk” comes with a whirlwind of fear, questions, and way too much googling at 3am. But Dr. Rad and his team were the steady presence I didn’t know I needed.

Every step of the way, they checked every box, took every precaution, and made sure my baby and I were closely monitored. I never felt like just another patient on the schedule… I felt seen, heard, and most importantly, reassured by action, not just words.

Dr. Rad himself is the definition of cool, calm, and collected… which is exactly the energy you want when your mind is racing with “what ifs.” He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and answers your 17-part questions without making you feel like you’re asking too much (even if you are). His calm confidence really helped me believe that I was going to get through all nine months, and I did.

Now let’s talk about the office vibes. The women who run that place? Absolute gems. Every single one of them is kinder and more helpful than the last. Impeccable vibes, always. Appointments never felt cold or clinical, they felt like walking into a warm, supportive bubble of competence and kindness.

If you’re pregnant and overwhelmed (hi, same), especially with a high-risk pregnancy, I can’t recommend Dr. Rad and his team enough. You want people in your corner who actually care, and who are really good at what they do. I’m so grateful I had that. My baby and I are both here, happy and healthy, because of it. ♥️”

“Dr. Rad and his team are incredible!!! I was recommended to see Dr. Rad at the beginning of my pregnancy for nothing specific other than extra monitoring and I couldn’t recommend him more! I felt so cared for by Dr. Rad, Brittany, Madelyn, Natalie, and everyone else on staff. Everyone was so kind, caring, and gentle and I truly felt like I had the best care. They kept a close eye on baby’s health and mine, making sure we discussed everything and went over all questions I had. Every appointment felt very thorough and my husband and I were always excited to go and see how baby was doing and to discuss any questions or get clarifications on care for me and baby. I loved doing the detailed ultrasounds with them where I could see baby move and it was so relieving to know how baby was growing throughout the pregnancy. I felt confident that if/when there were any health concerns, baby and I were in great hands. If you are looking for an MFM, you have to see Dr. Rad! Highly recommend!!! Thank you Dr. Rad and Team for the most amazing experience!!!”

“Incredible experience! Dr Rad and his team were always so thorough with their care. They took the time to always answer my questions thoughtfully and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The office is so nice and really allows you to bond early with your baby through an easy to see secondary ultrasound screen. I’m so grateful I had them as part of my birth story”
