In patients' words
"Dr. Abbot is AMAZING! I have been bringing my eldest daughter here for 18 years now... He really cares about his patients and takes the time to examine each patient very thoroughly with care and patience."
— OpenGovNY Review"While the Drs here are really helpful and have good bedside manners, the same can’t be said for the front staff and people answering the phones. ... Every time I have gone in for an appt we have had to wait in the waiting room for at LEAST an hour!"
— Unilocal Review"One concern is their policy of refusing patients until bills are paid, creating challenges for families with limited funds. ... The front desk's disorganization, including mis-scheduled appointments, adds frustration and questions about administrative efficiency."
