Very thorough and pleasant
I enjoyed our first conversation and was impressed by his demeanor.
I feel like the doctor was in a rush. He didn’t want to discuss, he more so wanted to figure out the diagnosis and move on. I understand he probably has many appointments and responsibilities per day but I guess it would be nice to have more like 15 minutes considering the cost of these appointments.
My appointment was held on time with no delays, which I really appreciated. Dr. Abildgaard (Jeff) clearly explained the potential outcomes and treatment options available to me, helping me feel informed and confident in the next steps. I also received excellent guidance on what to monitor to track the progress and overall health of my shoulder. Overall, it was a very professional and helpful experience.
Fabulous. Quick but thorough. Definitely recommend.
Great doctor! Knows his stuff! Makes you feel comfortable and trust him completely!
Very cordial and took time with me. I feel better after treatment in office!
Very informative and takes time with you.
J.A. gets 5 stars. I completely hate going to see any doctor. This guy remembered me after 25 minutes back in 2024. More than happy to go back after MRI.
Straight to the point and listened attentively
