Dr Bob Abel NP

Medication for recovery from substance use , mood, anxiety and attention disorders can be very helpful to help improve your daily function and ability to improve emotional problems. Medication should be prescribed in small amounts and carefully monitored after the person is completely informed about how it might feel and what to expect while taking it. I have a psychiatric NP practice virtually… located in South Florida. II focus on the patient's own experience of symptoms and can offer reduction of distress. I also provide solution-focused psychotherapy with an an particular interest and expertise in college mental health, the LGBT community and for persons with a diagnosis of a substance use disorder. I enocourage you to schedule an appointment if you have never considered medication before or if you have not been satisfied with the results you have seen from medication...and want a new perspective. I am in network with many insurances. Read more about what I do and how I can help on my website. www.drbobnp.com Dr. Abel

Very sweet and caring individual. Very refreshing!
Poor demeanor. Proceeded to argue with me about my diet and if i understood the science behind my eating habits. Im a health major, and certified personal trainer. My eating habits have worked for years. Im good. As soon as he heard I dont want to jump into meds he immediately dismissed me and asks me how I found him even though he got my insurance info from Zoc Doc. He then tells me go back to Zoc Doc and find a psychotherapist. He did say he would immediately send me some referrals to help because the waiting list for therapists are long. He never sent the email and 2 days later I even emailed him to ask again and was ignored. No response. i cant honestly recommend him.
Extremely unprofessional, rude to the point of being harassing over email. Claimed he took my insurance and then refused to file the claim because he didn't know how to.
Efficient, kind, and easy to talk to
Verified patient
Really great in person. A bit brusque on email. Only sees patients one day/week which makes getting an appointment difficult. Nice guy though, was very helpful once I was in the room with him.
Mr. Abel was lovely. At first, he may come across as blunt with his multiple questions, but you soon realize (and he explicitly tells you) that he is simply painting a picture of your background and drawing relevancies/parallels from the past to the present. Unlike most other psychiatrists, Dr. Abel does not rush you through your appointment but takes time to listen, or rather, more importantly, takes time to hear you—by the end of your appointment you feel just that, heard. You can tell that he is a man of his word and takes pride in his practice, and, more importantly, cares about his patients. And this was based on my first visit, I look forward to our next.
Verified patient
Truly, starting to see Dr. Abel is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in years, my medication is finally stable, and I feel really listened to.
Verified patient
Robert Abel has been great for me. He is easy to contact. Has been there when I needed him most and I’ve noticed a great improvement in my overall health since I’ve started seeing him. Also because I travel so much for work my schedule is very complex and uncertain he has been very flexible in scheduling with me.
Verified patient
I felt confident that he was knowledgeable.
Verified patient
DO NOT SEE HIM. Our first appointment went seemingly fine and I was prescribed a medication I take regularly. From then on, Dr. Abel put my mental health at complete risk by failing to appear for scheduled appointments, failing to answer any of requests for a follow up, and refusing to refill my prescription. I have never been treated like this with any medical professional before.
When I first started seeing Dr. Abel for depression and anxiety, I loved him. We got on great for my first two or three appointments and he was extremely helpful and knowledgable. However, it is very difficult to get an appointment with him within the required window, which presents challenges. The couple of times I had to wait "too long" between appointments because of his schedule, he became passive aggressive during appointments and I grew to feel uncomfortable during sessions with him. He stopped offering helpful information and kept our appointments as short as possible, so I felt like I couldn't even be honest with him about how I was feeling. After nearly a year seeing him and about six months of negative interactions, he finally refused to refill my prescription prior to my appointment, so I was suddenly unceremoniously without medication, which is not the correct way to wean off of these types of drugs. So, mixed reviews overall. He's a lovely man but wasn't the right fit for my schedule, and could work on his bedside manner with patients.
This is my 4th visit with Dr. Abel. He's very straightforward and understanding. Answers all my questions, and provides a very supportive atmosphere for my treatment.

We spent most of the time talking about him. If someone is feeling fragile, I do not believe he is the right person to go to for help. If you need medication and a quick assessment, he is just fine.
Helpful thoughtful guy.
Verified patient
I had a great appointment with Robert. He was patient and insightful, referring me to services that would best address my needs. I will certainly be back to visit and truly appreciated his time.
Verified patient
Robert Abel was professional and knowledgeable about my current situation. He listened to me and cautiously prescribed the best solution for my situation. I felt so much better after my first visit.
Unfortunately, I can not recommend that anyone see Dr. Abel, especially if they are seeking medication for depression or anxiety. Dr. Abel would only agree to provide me with a one-month prescription with three refills for a very common, safe, generic anti-depressant. After my third time seeing him to renew the prescription, I was unable to schedule an appointment before my medication ran out. I have reached out to Dr. Abel several times via email and text, and he has consistently displayed very poor communication skills. On the most recent occasion, he mistakenly sent me messages intended for other patients, claimed to have no memory of our several previous conversations, refused to provide a limited continuation of my prescription, used passive aggressive language, and ultimately refused to offer any solutions to my problem. I can only advise that anyone considering Dr. Abel instead find a more responsible care provider. TL;DR: Dr. Abel requires unusually frequent appointments, does not prescribe and maintain his patient's medications responsibly, and does not communicate professionally or effectively.
Verified patient
He knew his medications and certainly gave me the time to ask questions but was inattentive and rude with follow up, including working to get prior authorization for meds
I just met Dr. Abel today with my 17 year old for an evaluation and 2nd opinion. In addition, to discuss medication treatment for my son. Dr. Abel, was on point, very honest, and knowledgeable in addressing my son’s situation. He made some recommendations. My son and I look forward to seeing Dr. Abel again, if the other resources he recommended don’t work out for my son.
Dr Abel is terrific. He's open minded, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, no nonsense, and knows how to discuss complicated issues in ways anyone can understand. My problem was not solved or even explained well by other psychiatrists. Dr Abel took a very logical and practical approach. With his help it became clear that part of my problem was actually related to SLEEP APNEA, and not just meds or stress. Make an appt and go see him. I'm an MD. I trust him. I strongly recommend him.
Great experience as always !
Verified patient
Dr. Abel is professional, knowledgeable and warm. He is always on time with his appointments. He is available via text and email whenever I have a question or concern. I work in the mental health field as well and am always so impressed with how much he knows and his genuine understanding of people and the problems we face. Thankful I found him on here. He’s a gem !
