Shoko Emily Abe, MD

Planned out future appointments with me in mind

Dr Abe was outstanding. Took time to cover every option

She is a very good Doctor if I ever needed surgery again. I would call her and ask her to be my doctor.

Dr. Abe is a very kind person, and listens without the feeling that she is rushing to get out the door.

I was certified with her explanation

Dr. Abe is outstanding. I'm receiving excellent care from her and would enthusiastically recommend her to others. She is very respectful, thorough, warm, well informed, a great listener and kind. Most importantly, she engenders trust and hope, which I have found essential to navigating cancer.

I hold surgeon Dr. Shoko Emily Abe in the highest regard. I firmly stand by my "very good" survey responses here. I was caught by surprise at the visit that there would be no anxiety reducing drug or sedative for this outpatient procedure. Dr. Abe patiently explained the procedure, explained that other patients find it smooth and not painfull, offered me the option to return another day with valium or sedative, paused to wait for my answer whether I wanted to procede or not. When I said to procede, she took steps to assure a comfortable experience: my preference for soothing harp music was provided and she talked steadily through the procedure describing progress. I was surprised when it was completed. Other than discomfort during the numbing shots, there was no pain. I immensely value Dr. Abe's skill and knowledge and her care for patients. I'm endlessly gratefull to her for her excellence throughout my breast cancer journey. I'm thrilled to be alive. Each moment is precious. She and her assistants are saving my life.

My list of questions, we're answered with all of doctors explanations...I was much relieved after appt.

Dr Abe was so supportive of me during the procedure and really took time to address some of my nervousness and make me feel at ease.
