Everyone in the office was professional, courteous, and helpful. I continue to be impressed by Dr. Abas-Abas. He listened closely to my concerns and symptoms and suggested an excellent plan going forward. He is a wonderful doctor, who explains things very clearly and clearly individualizes the treatment plan according to the needs of the patient. Thank you for having such an outstanding physician at Temple.

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.
