This was my first time seeing Dr. Abraham. He's a very enthusiastic and animated doctor, although the office setup and his eccentricities took some adjustment. All in all, he is clearly a very experienced and knowledgeable doctor. He took the time to listen to me, carefully examined my shoulder, and gave me a solid course of prolotherapy treatment.
