Since becoming pregnant, Eric Yahav has become physically and mentally abusive because he does not want me to continue pregnancy. He works as an abortionist and over 6 weeks made 4 appointments for me to have an abortion. Each time when I refused to go he became violent and threatened to kick me and my son out of the house. He threatened if I did not have an abortion he would “make my life hell” and I could watch and see what he did to me.

Mary went on to describe the violence she was forced to endure on December 4, 2015, when he demanded that she accompany him to the abortion facility where he worked for an abortion she did not want.

I refused and he attacked me several times. He pushed me down the stairs and attempted to drag me out of the house. He slapped and kicked me. I dialed 911 and he grabbed my phone.

To back up her claims, Mary provided Operation Rescue with two explosive video clips that she took during episodes when Yahav was physically abusive and attempting to remove her from the house so he could take her for an abortion. Mary told Operation Rescue that the clips were short because he would grab her cell phone and turn it off during the attacks.

“I am afraid he will do whatever it takes to make sure I do not have this baby,” she said, adding that he has taken her car and left her without money or food in an attempt to force her into having an abortion.

Once, Mary claims, Yahav took her after hours to one of the abortion offices where he works. He told the office manager she was having a miscarriage and he needed to perform a D&E, but she would not consent. At that time, Mary told Operation Rescue that she was sure she was 15 weeks, 5 days pregnant, and only got into the car because she knew the clinic was only legally permitted to do abortions to 14 weeks, 6 days.

Mary was sure the clinic staff would refuse to allow the abortion if she was beyond the legal limit so she asked for an ultrasound exam, but started to worry when the technician would not let her see the screen. Mary was told that she was only 13 weeks pregnant.

“I told her that was not possible. . .I asked again to see [the ultrasound] and she refused and I asked to leave. Things got bad in the car and at home,” Mary said.

Mary explained how again the abortion clinic staff she expected to protect her let her down. She said Yahav scheduled another abortion appointment for her at another location, but this time Mary called the clinic and told them they put her in an unsafe position. However, the clinic worker only laughed at her and did not take her seriously.

She also alleges that Yahav pushed her down stairs when she refused an abortion, slapped and kicked her, choked her, and threw a cereal bowl at her head.

Mary’s young son was also subjected to abuse by Yahav, according to her petition for a protective order. “He verbally abused and harassed by 8 year old son until he was in tears and hyperventilating,” she stated.

“If Mary’s account is true, and we have very little reason to doubt her story, has no business in a profession where vulnerable women are exposed to him. In my opinion, Eric Yahav belongs behind bars,” said Newman.

From a review on Vitals.com: A “1st time pregnant” patient noted on November 15, 2010, that Yahav “made me feel uncomfortable and inappropriate.” She wrote that he “Made jokes at my expense and treated as if I didn’t get it. Kind creepy. My husband said ‘pervert.’”

Went to the Morriston Location Every1 in the Office was great!! HOWEVER if Dr Yahav is the Doctor on duty that day I URGE you to wait another Day. He did my procedure and when I went back for my check out I was still pregnant and was asked to get another procedure needless to say I was Surprised and VERY disappointed that I would need to go thru ANOTHER procedure because he dint do it right the first time. I even found something online he was accused of beating up his Girlfriend, so maybe thats whats he was thinking of the day he did my procedure... Again all the woman in the office are professional and kind but this doc is not One I would recommend to any1.

Saw him at his office in Morristown. I think this is a new location for him. The facility was immaculate, the staff kind and I was seen quickly. Very happy with my care. I needed to have an abortion for health issues and it was dealt with in a safe and sensitive manner. They also have the option of going completely to sleep here, which was not available when I first went to the planned parenthood also in Morristown. Very happy with the office and Dr. Yahav.

Very nice and professional doctor. Saw him at his clinic in Morristown, NJ on 25 Lindsley Drive. I had to have a surgical abortion there (due to health reasons with my kidneys) and they really made a very scary and emotional experience so much more pleasant. From Dr. Yahav, to the anesthesia doctor (Dr. Itskovitch) to the head nurse Missy, everyone was wonderful. I highly recommend!

Unfortunately, I had to take 2 rounds of the abortions pills for the abortion to be successful. I had been given a prescription of 20 acetaminophen-cod #3, which I took during the week of the 1st round of abortion pills. I had to go back for my follow up appointment in which I was given a 2nd round of abortion pills because the first round was not successful, and I was refused (by the staff, never got to speak to Eric) a refill of my prescription. I am in severe pain and cannot get a refill of a prescription and I am extremely irritable and upset especially when I paid close to $500 out of pocket for this procedure. I am recommending you reconsider your decision. Word of mouth can severely hurt or benefit a clinic. This is for the Woman Services clinic in Englewood located at 200 Grand Ave.

He joked too much and acted like I didn't know what he was talking about. He was not very interested in what I had to say. I would not go back.

My experience was pleasant and very rewarding. I would recommend all my friends to him. His bedside manner was caring and he was most appropriate. My husband only wanted Dr. Yahav to deliver our first child, as did I. His manner was calm yet confident. He made jokes to lighten the mood, it seemed the office was busy and hectic everytime we had an appointment. He took the time to explain in detail what we did not understand and he made sure we were comfortable with every decision and step along the way. He is the reason I stayed with the group. The field of Ob/Gyn needs more doctors like him to make patients feel a sense of trust in their physician.
