Excellent Doctor Very professional and respectful
Dr. Abildgaard took time to explain my injury and expectations of the surgery. He was not in a rush and was very professional, which in return, made me comfortable with choosing him as my surgeon!
Knowledgeable and had a great treatment plan, but as a second opinion for knee pain/bursitis I expected at least a full physical exam of my knee in person to rule out anything that wasn't visibly obvious, instead of pointing at the X-ray and my knee for what was obvious. Bedside manner towards the end of our interaction made me feel like I had to advocate for myself to get an MRI just to get assurance that anything that wasn't obvious was ruled out, given that I was dealing with an increased level of pain beyond my usual chronic flare-ups.
Nothing noted.
Listens and ask questions to quickly understand what needs to be done. Very professional.
Seems to very knowledgeable. Going again after MRI to see what he says ,
Dr. Abildgaard was personable and kind as he thoroughly explained my x-rays and all of the options for treatment. He listened to my concerns and made a sound recommendation. He spent the time needed to get to know me and my reason for the visit. I highly recommend Dr. Abildgaard for his knowledge, experience and excellent care.
Very engaged and helpful. He took time to explain the different shots and injections. The X Ray staff were also fantastic!
Dr. Jeff listened to my concerns and answered my questions with knowledge and understanding. Time management was great.
Great experience with Dr Abildgaard!
