    If there was a very good plus, Dr. Abram's would receive it. He listened to my concerns & understood why I was hesitant with some treatments. He explained thoroughly and then I understood clearly and was able to make an educated decision.

    There were two providers on the visit. The female doctor was very nice but the male doctor was abrupt, didn't explain anything to me and I don't trust him.
