Wonderful doctor: responsive, caring, detail oriented and professional

Dr. Abe was great in explaining everything to me. She was thorough.

The actual clinic visits to see/discuss with Doctors or Nurse practitioners are always good, but anything that has to be taken care of outside of the direct interaction during the office visit has inevitably been fraught with many mistakes, delays and frustrations, inclusive of the most recent error in appointment date/time. I would not recommend the clinic unless the training and staffing of the admin side is greatly improved.
