When I moved to Temecula two years ago and soon thereafter became pregnant, I did extensive research on OB's in the area since I too, had nobody. Dr. Safie has amazing credentials including a Harvard Medical Degree and experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is not common in our region. Then I noticed she went to the same undergrad school as I did, and then it all came together....Her mother was one of my Chemistry professors at our college and used to brag about her daughter going to Harvard all the time. In fact, I had met Nerissa during a trip home while I was still in college and she was visiting her mom on campus. Needless to say, she became my OB and was fabulous every step of the way. Her bedside manner is great, on top of that. She wasn't the doc who delivered my baby, since you'll get one of the five Crown docs who is on call at that time. But as you know from experience, it's all about the nurses at that point. Tell Dr. Safie I sent you! -T. Riley
