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.

Dr. Abe was excellent. She was also candid about whether an MRI machine would be available by the time I needed a visit

The provider Dr. Abe is excellent. The problem is the administrative end ie: having to wait for action by others under her to implement instructions not being able to contact anyone directly missing call backs and thus phone tag etc as previously described.

Dr. Abe had reviewed quite a bit of information from my medical file before I saw her. This is highly unusual in my experience and shows her dedication to each patient as a unique case. She also took time to go through family history because in my case it's important.
