Dr. Abildgaard was kind and explained the results of my MRI. He was conservative in his approach and explained that sirgery was not necessary.
He explained everything to me where I could understand. He listened to my concerns.
I highly recommend Dr Abildgaard.

Great communicator, was a nice young man!! Knowledgeable, and took my concern seriously.
A very good understanding ortho doctor excellent👍🏼
This man's extreme offensiveness and discriminatory attitude are unacceptable; he is not a professional. His concerns are not in the best interests of his patients because he doesn't give a damn about the health problems that follow surgery. He sells you surgery like a pro. Giving the impression that surgery will solve your problem, expecting patients to know what to anticipate, and expecting them to simply cope with their new problems. I would advise against seeing this doctor.
