Dr. Abbott was very personable, thorough, efficient, and focused on evaluating and addressing the problems motivating my appointment. I felt like Dr. Abbott was able to size me up quickly and asked relevant and thoughtful questions. An appointment was available and confirmed quickly, there was no waiting, and follow-up was planned. Highly recommended!

Dr. Abbott was easy to talk to, seemed to understand my very complex medical history, and made me feel validated and understood. While I don't like that I have to go, she made me feel more comfortable about being there by the end of my initial consultation.
