…EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND NURTURING
"I love Dr. Mandelman. She was amazing during delivery of my fourth baby. My baby was experiencing distress and she actually sat in my room for hours just watching the monitor. She could have easily had a nurse do that and report back to her. When it became apparent that we would have to have an emergency c-section, she was as cool as a cucumber. Both my husband and I felt extremely secure with her in charge and it couldn't have gone smoother. I am now expecting my fifth baby and she seems just as excited for my babies healthy progress as she was before. She is extremely professional and nurturing – the perfect combination that you would want in any doctor."
Sheri M.
FANTASTIC BEDSIDE MANNER
"Dr. Stephanie Mandelman is a wonderful doctor and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new OB/GYN. I recently gave birth to my second daughter and Dr. Mandelman did an excellent job taking care of me throughout my entire pregnancy and delivery. Dr. Mandelman's knowledge, expertise and fantastic bedside manner are just some of the reasons I'm glad she is my doctor. I'm glad my friend referred me to Dr. Mandelman and I look forward to having her as my doctor for many years to come."
Lonna O.
"I have found Dr. Mandelman to be one of the most caring and sensitive doctors I've ever been to. She and her staff are very personable. They put you at ease and make you feel comfortable right away. She is a good listener who is quick to address any concerns or questions you may have. When I had a problem, I was very impressed at how quickly her office could work me into her schedule. I have been going to her office for several years and will continue to do so. I am very happy with Dr. Mandelman and her staff. I can only thank her for giving me such great care."

My wife really responded to you well. Thanks so much again and again! The baby is doing quite well, his doctor says he is short, fat and has a big head, just like his father! Take care and give our best to your family,"
Briana S.

I'm recommending you to all of my friends. Much love and gratitude,"

Know someone who is about to set off on holiday or go abroad? Here are 65 creative and thoughtful ways to say ‘Have a safe trip'. Copy and paste these safe journey wishes to show them that you care.
Saying goodbye to someone who's about to depart on a journey can be difficult. Even as a writer, I often struggle to find the right words to say.
These days, I'm usually on the receiving end of goodbyes – but I've had to say my fair share of farewells, too.
While ‘Have a safe journey' will sometimes suffice, quoting a simple message, a beautiful saying or even a traditional blessing is an easy way to make a farewell more meaningful and memorable.
I've searched books, song lyrics and inspirational sites to come up with this list of 65 safe journey wishes
Tips for wishing someone a safe journey
Goodbyes are often emotional and can be overwhelming, especially when they take place at the airport or at the station. These tips can make saying farewell that much easier.
• Don't leave your goodbye until the last minute. If you want to make it meaningful, make sure you set aside enough time to say everything you want to say.
• Focus on the next time you'll meet. Whether it's catching up for a meal or picking them up from the airport, make a plan and remind them (and yourself) that it's only a matter of time before you see each other again.
• Make a time to speak. If you know you'll hear their voice when the flight lands or the train pulls in, you'll feel much better about sending them off.
• Remember, the person travelling is excited for the journey ahead – but they're probably just as emotional as you!
• Reassure them that you'll be thinking of them. These safe journey wishes are perfect for just that.
• It's not only about what you say, it's also what you do. Depending on your relationship, a warm hug or a hand on the shoulder can mean a lot.
Short and sweet safe journey wishes
These safe journey messages are thoughtful but to the point. They're especially good for saying a quick goodbye on social media or by text message.
Best wishes for a safe, happy and fulfilling journey.
May the road be kind to you.
Go safe, move safe, leave safe, home safe.
Godspeed!
This goodbye message comes from a Middle English phrase meaning ‘May you prosper'.
When NASA astronaut John Glenn made the first manned orbital flight in 1962, mission control used the word ‘Godspeed' to wish him a safe journey.
Catch you on the flip side!
We often use this friendly way of saying goodbye in Australia. It comes from late-night radio DJs, who would use the phrase before they put on a vinyl record.
Listeners knew they wouldn't hear from the DJ again until the record had played through and they had ‘flipped' the vinyl to the B side.
Stay out of trouble!
A cheeky way of saying ‘Have a safe journey', appropriate for someone you know well!
Smooth sailing!
First coined in the 14th Century, this phrase prophesied calm waters free from rough waves for someone who was about to set sail on the high seas.
It doesn't just apply to water travel – nowadays, it can be used as a generic saying to wish someone a breezy journey.
