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.
