Patient Reviews for Dr. Elizabeth Abel - MD
She was very pleasant, knowledgable and helpful. I made an appointment for a follow up visit.
Not very friendly and not very clear regarding treatment. Not very sensitive or caring. We were not made to feel special, important or appreciated. We will NOT return although she was presumptious that we would follow up with her.
I waited 40 minutes just to be seen for 15 minutes. The sound on the tv's in the waiting room was loud and distracting making it hard to read or concentrate.
She's clear, practical and responsive.
She didn't seem like she really didn't care that much about my situation.
I waited 30 minutes in the waiting room and another 20 in an examination room for a 3 minute appointment
Dr. Able is professional, helpful, caring and warm. I will see her again.
I was put in a room 25 minutes after my appointment time. I was finally seen 40 minutes after my appointment time. This is disrespectful and unacceptable. Dr. Abel is pleasant, performed a thorough exam and gave me good instruction for the future, but I doubt that I'll go back.
I think Dr. Abel is a capable dermatologist. Today's appointment was a quick check up + prescription refill and it all went smoothly. Dr. Abel recommended a treatment for something I wasn't asking for but I was happy that she noticed and recommended the treatment. The only downside was the wait time - I got there at 3:35, was lead into the exam room around 4:10, and wasn't seen until after 4:30. The appointment took much longer than I had originally anticipated.
I drove 2 hrs to go see Dr. Able because I felt she had so much experience in the dermatology field especially in cancer. I've been seen by other dermatologist in the past and never felt that comfort with them. Dr. Abel was easy to talk with and very reassuring. She was very thorough in her screening; she didn't miss anything. She even looked at the bottom of my feet, hands, fingers and nails. Than she documented everything for future reference. wow, it was a really good experience and I'm thankful that I found the ZocDoc website that helped me locate her.
Very professional and easy to visit.
Dr. Abel is very professional. For skin problems, she is definetly a right person to look for help.
This was a return visit due to my being dissatisfied with a botox treatment a month earlier. I felt very well taken care of by Dr. Abel, who took the time to bring in another doctor for a consultation. I appreciated her concern and honesty as regards the procedure, and felt my concerns were treated with respect.
I really liked Dr. Abel, but the office atmosphere was busy to the point of hectic. I had to wait 60 minutes to see the doctor, and they gave me the wrong prescription when I checked out, which I didn't notice and now have to return. It is also not very easy to reach a live person when calling the office.
Fit me in at short notice but too long wait after appointment time.
Dr. Abel was very nice. As we discussed multiple issues, I quickly became overwhelmed with my many solutions (prescriptions). I received many prescriptions with coupons, which I appreciate. I would also have liked the directions for all issues to be provided to ensure that I don't get confused. Dr. Abel assured me I can call if I have any questions, and that the pharmacist can also advise. I will see her in six weeks.
Good visit. Thorough exam. Good communication.
