I appreciated Dr. Abildgaard’s bedside manner. He was kind, listened and even offered insight into a separate physical issue I’ve dealt with since birth. He is clearly an expert in the field and I would highly recommend him.
Did not Like the way he manage the appointment like in a rush
Kind, compassionate and understanding as well as very informative. Great with my teen son!
Awesome specialist. He listened well, & seemed to understand & was very transparent regarding my case & explained it to me well. He gave me facts about the options offered for treatment, so I could make a good, educated decision. I value his opinion & expertise.
Professionalism!!!
Very professional
Very kind, took time to explain plan, procedure and after care.
I was very comfortable with Dr. Abildgaard. He explained my injury impeccably and examined for range of motion. We discussed options, drawbacks to each, expected outcomes and recovery time. I also left with literature with more resources and expectations for next steps. What more could a patient want?!
Personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely an all-star!
Fantastic empathetic and superbly qualified physician
