    Doctor Abbas is very special. He takes the time to know you and understand what you are going through, so that he can help you to the best of his ability. He fixed me physically and emotionally lifted my spirits back up. I no longer have to take the medication that I was on for 10 + years , I just want to thank him for helping me.

    Best surgeon ever! Great care. Follow-up visit, everything explained to me and clear explanation of illness, prognosis, treatment, etc. I know Dr. Abbas is very busy, but he always makes me feel like I am the only patient he is treating, and that means a lot.
