Listens & informative
Took time to discuss options for treatment.
Dr Abildgaard was extremely professional and put me at ease within minutes. He explained what he was doing while he was examining my knee. He have me all of the options of treatment that I could do. He's definitely one of the best orthopedic doctors that I have ever seen.
I think he a wonderful doctor who believes in being a positive influence in ones health and recovery. He’s confident of what the outcome will be before,during and after surgery. He’s extremely conservative when it comes to using any sort of pain medication which I am all for and he pushes you hard for therapy so you have a great outcome. My only con is you do not have sufficient time both preopt and post opt to discuss your situation and or the outcome. I do not blame him but I do have to blame our healthcare system. I know that doctors are allotted a certain amount of time they have with a patient. Therefore I blame that solely on our current healthcare provider companies and corporate greed.
Answer all my questions that I needed
