Jeffrey Abildgaard, M.D.

I like the fact that he really listened to me and gave me a variety of options to do before having to have replacement.

Professional and informational

Despite my concerns about constant pain, I am greatly relieved with Dr. Abildgaard's personal attention and advice!

Very thorough examination. Answered all my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed.

Happy with visit. Liked Dr.

Nice! Knows his stuff!

Just a very personable dr!!

Fast and friendly

Personal and polite. Listened to my concerns and suggested care based on what was best while also matching my needs.

I was 15 minutes late because I got lost. They were nice enough to still fit me in.

Dr Abildgaard is friendly, professional, personable, precise, caring and diligent. I am very thankful to be under his care.

I was able to get the shot I had requested and Dr Abildgaard explained the whole procedure as we went along. Also directed me to a surgeon regarding knee replacement in the future.

Explained everything in detail and referred me to a surgeon for my knee. Very friendly.

Great experience with Dr. Abildgaard!

Acted arrogant, gave answers like he was frustrated, eventually just walked out of the roomwithout saying goodbye.Told us to go to the desk in hallway to fill out medical release form from other facility, which wasn’t the right advice. Very rude, period!

Explains the situation and options well. In and out

Exelent dr.

In &out spent about 2 minutes with me

Took time to explain everything. Answered questions without rushing.

He was polite, listened well and clearly outlined my options.

He was thorough and listened to me. His PA provided excellent service!

He listened to my concerns, explained why I was having pain, and presented all options for treatment. He was friendly and personable.

Excellent physician. Knowledgeable, caring, and personable. He focuses on the best options and on the right thing for each patient. Truly impressive and the team there are terrific.

Terrible and rude doctor!!!! He was arrogant and a total prick!!!! Do not recommend!!!!!!

💯 I would recommend Dr. Abildgaard!!!

Dr. Abildgaard is a very kind and understanding doctor who offers solutions outside of medication to help. I really like his medical style and he is helping me with my shoulder issue!

Listens to the patient and answers questions. He is helpful and understanding

Very personable. Tried very hard to understand how I was hurting.

I appreciate that he took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions.

Listens, helped me understand my diagnosis and treatment options. Efficient staff and front office.

What a great doctor! Explained everything very well!

Fast.

awesome doctor thank you very much

Exceptional doctor. He explains your options in detail and answers all questions with utmost care.

Dr. Abildgaard was great. He listened, he was so thorough making sure he covered all the bases concerning my condition. I felt like he cared and is doing all tha

Immediately TCB Very Friendly and to the point

He was very informative. A true gentleman.

Dr. Abildgaard was thorough and was quickly able to diagnose my issue, as well as help me understand a plan of action to alleviate the pain.

Dr Abildgaard was very informative about my condition and stated several things that I could consider going forward

Professional, fully explained all options, easy to talk to and excellent at administering injections.

Exceptionally courteous, professional, and offered reasonable options.

I’ve had two surgical procedures by Dr Abildgaard. Both very successful. His postoperative care and advice have led to a very speedy recovery. Compassionate bedside manner very much appreciated.

VERY FRIENDLY AND THOUROGH

The doctor was very thorough and informative, took his time and explained things. Would definitely recommend him to others!!

After spending less than FIVE minutes with me, he seemed quite irritated when I mentioned going to PT (that he suggested) might be an issue with my work. He definitely shut down after that and basically just walked out. Clearly having a stressful and demanding job was irritating to him; though not sure what it was about me that caused just an attitude. And I didn’t say I wouldn’t go, just that it would be problematic. I felt disrespected and dismissed. I work with over 500 lawyers, and even they don’t treat me that way! Horrible experience.

Personable and pujnctual

Rude

Great surgeon. He is skilled at not only the procedure, but listening to concerns and addressing them.

Dr Abilgaard is knowledgeable and explains everything in layman’s terms. He has an excellent Medical Assistant, Christina Salas who submitted my prior authorization with urgency seeing I was in pain and set up my gel injection appointment promptly. The Dr & his M.A. Are excellent!!

Very comfortable with my consultation. Very thorough and gave me multiple scenarios for treatment. I'm looking forward to resolving my issue and having him on my side

Dr. Abildgaard was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. His treatment provided was painless.

I schedule two different appointments only for both Jeff and Shane tell me the same thing. They also wanted to schedule me a third appointment before my surgery and when I asked what fit and it was said to get crutches and a brace I have both already. Then they stated it’s to go over the surgery which we already did.

Nice and confident Doctor

Just pushed to getting an MRI. Received the bare minimum black and white sheet for exercises with no explanation. Not really interested in helping me

Very thorough. Informative and knowledgeable.

Knowledgeable, friendly, professional -

Dr. Abildgaard was efficient with his time and I didn't have to wait long to see him.

Very kind. Explained everything he was going to do giving me the cortisone injection..

Once I got in, it went fast. He explained and answered my questions.

I was very pleased. He is now one of my doctors and I will recommend him to my friends.

Excellent explanation of MRI results, in order to make decision for type of orthopedic care.

Jeff is a great doctor. He took his time to answer my questions in a way I could understand. Jeff was very thorough and caring.I highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, dedicated, caring, loves what he does! Understands the individual needs and complications involved in assessing patients.

Dr Abildgaard was very polite and professional, providing a clear, concise explanation of all my questions. Not to mention, the doctor was exceedingly knowledgeable, and I would recommend him with no hesitation.

Always so helpful, clearly answers my questions.

Rude and condescending

He was able to diagnose the problem easily once the MRI was done. He gave me the option of PT as well.

Very attentive and an excellent physician.

Took the time to explain in easy terms my actual condition and all the treatment options and then gave a recommendation. Very thorough, very personable, very knowledgeable!

Waited 45 minutes after taken into the exam room. Dr was visibly annoyed when he came into the room. He cut me off when explaining my symptoms. He asked if he could speak frankly, I said yes. He asked why are you even here? Demeanor and body language clearly irritated. Needs to learn bedside manner. I would never go back.

I would highly recommend Dr. Abildgaard. He is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. We liked him right away when he started treating my daughter for an ACL injury/tear. He took his time to explain all options and we are thrilled with the results of the surgery. We have never felt rushed during appointments, he takes the time to answer questions and give honest information and feedback. While I hope no one else in my family will need his services, he will be first call should we need his expertise.

Felt like I was rushed out of his office and the phone every time. Seemed like he was annoyed seeing me and hearing my questions.

He’s informative, compassionate, and took the time to answer my questions.

He is conscientious, professional, friendly, and caring. Surgery is always the last option. I highly recommend him.

He was a true pleasure to meet with! Very informative and easy to talk to.

Awesome Dr

He refuse to do any medical surgery for me because of my anger. but he was asking me questions and wanted just a yes or no. And I needed to answer more. he never even got to the point about my shoulder.

Excellent knowledge, friendly and caring. Highly recommended.

Explained information in detail. Did not feel rushed. Addressed all my concerns.

Good job

He was pleasant and caring. Explained xrays so that they were easy to understand. Very thorough. Very clear what next steps were.

This is the 2nd time I have seen the doctor. I would highly recommend him. He is awesome and so very patient with any questions or concerns you may have.

Very professional; listened very well and explained option clearly. Great bedside manner and well spoken. Highly recommend.

Spent a whole 5 minutes with me - did not call in my prescription and said he was coming back with paperwork but did not. Should have also put in an order for an MRI to see what’s really going on but did not.

Dr. Abildgaard thoroughly explained the issues with my knee after reviewing my X-rays. He explained my 3 options and, knowing my situation, made a recommendation. His demeanor is very positive and encouraging. I have and will continue to highly encourage friends with knee issues to see him.

Listened to my concerns. Did not seem too busy to listen. Professional.

Listened to everything I said and was extremely helpful in answering all my questions and making helpful suggestions about which way i should consider for my needs.

Very knowledgeable and caring.

Good communication and decisive:

I went to Dr Abildgaard after not being satisfied with a different Ortho Dr. Dr Abildgaard answered all my questions and explained everything clearly to my satisfaction.

Pleasant and knowledgeable

Very informative and thorough.

Very pleasant and friendly. He let me know quickly what was wrong and how I could make it feel better.

Dr. Abildgaard was fantastic. He took ample time to listen to me, explain my imaging results, talk about options, and express compassion and empathy. Additionally, the office was incredibly well-run, efficient, and all of the staff were quite pleasant. In a time where service has suffered in most industries, my experience was refreshing.

Dr Abildgaard was personable, friendly, related everything well to me and I love love that he wanted to start with the least invasive answer first but showed me options and let me choose. I don’t often walk away from a doc affixed feeling like I was heard and it was worth it but this time I definitely did. Future issues, I know where I’m returning!

He’s great

He explained everything well and presented me with options and recommendations. He listened well and answered all questions

Very professional listened gave options and explained them well. Very impressed! Thank you Doc.

Great doctor super recommended!!!

Very knowledgeable, clear, efficient.. Willing to share as much info as I asked for. Drew pictures clearly explaining my situation and next steps.

Seemed so disinterested (maybe because I'm not an athlete) and not personable at all.

Took the time to explain the repair, and what to be prepared for with recovery.

The Dr. and staff are great! Beautiful office.

Seemed interested in the case, but the diagnosis was wrong.

Jeff's the best!

Explained my mri simply quickly and then the options for solutions.

Explained all avenues for injury very well

Excellent doctor that cares for the patient and explains every detail weighing the pros and cons. Had left knee BEAR acl surgery and I feel like normal 5 months after surgery.

Happy with the time he spent with me.

Clear, concise and listens!

Is very thorough with explanations and options for my injury.

Not a very cheerful person. I get a feeling that he doesn't like me. I could be wrong.

I appreciated the honest and sincere feedback and what he would suggest for himself or his wife. Thank youl

Very thorough explainng problem and listing options for treatment. Very pleasant person.

I'm certain Dr. Abildgaard's medical expertise is top-notch. However, I was disappointed with his bedside manner. He was abrasive and dismissive regarding my questions about my condition and treatment options.

Very pleasant manner. Answered all my questions. Gave me insight on my knee problem. Did not rush me.

Very thorough. Gave very good advice.

Very personable

Have never met the dr but the staff is friendly,caring and knowledgeable of my needs. Thank u

Very personable and knowledgeable— explained things in a relatable fashion.

Very efficient, yet informative.

Most attractive doctor I’ve ever met. Id break a bone to come back.

Lack of communication on the purpose of the appointment.

Great doctor

Thank you for giving me hope 🙏 in my problem with my shoulder!!!

The best! Takes time to explain things thoroughly and wants the best outcome long term. Daughter knee healed beautifully with hidden scars. Very knowledgeable.

Dr. Jeffrey was a good listener, answered all my questions clearly, was honest about procedures that were not going to solve my problem, was warm and professional.

Sincere, honest and competently discussed options.

This was my first visit. Dr. Abildgaard was friendly, explained my X-rays and condition. He gave me a course of treatment I understood and provided printed exercises. I felt well taken care along with answers to my questions. A very pleasant experience.

Very responsive, informative and compassionate.

Friendly, easy to talk to. Highly knowledgeable and thorough. Very efficient and will see again if needed. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Personable and helpful with answering our questions

This doctor provided in-depth counsel as to what my options were. He took his time explaining what was going on. The appointment was a dramatic improvement over CORE.

Awesome doctor!!!

Excellent from the time he walked in to the end of appt. Very knowledgeable about what I have going on.

always explains everything and is always well spoken

Knowledgeable, kind, encouraging

Dr. Abildgaard was competent and kind. He came up with a plan to help figure out what is causing my knee and hip pain.

Service was very prompt and Dr Abildgaard was very thorough and answered all questions. Highly recommend.

Good demean

Thorough and patient snd competent- not rushed- willing to answer all my questions

He is a good listener and always recommends what is truly needed.

On time appt, in and out quickly.

Very through excellent

Dr. Abilgaard has made a world of difference with my shoulder! He is caring and takes time to talk/listen to his patient. My experience working with him over the past year or so has been very positive.

great dr, good listener. Explains things patiently and well

One of the best doctor ????????????

Dr. entered the room without any paperwork. No review of the x-rays or MRI (Knee: major problems). I had to give him a hard copy of the MRI for an explanation. Due to my age my fate was predetermined before he walked into the room. (Dr. comments not verbatim) Dr. sat down, folded his arms…What’s going on? I explained what happened…told him that I was an active senior & glad that he was a sports medicine doctor. Dr: People who come here & say that expect to have surgery … Surgery is not an option for someone your age or somebody even 60…if you don’t like my opinion you can get a second opinion… I asked what do I do now…how do I do activities? Dr: You can do rehab & wear a brace…. I asked how long & he replied: As long as it takes… Dr. turns to leave & said someone will bring you a brace & walked out – no good bye, no nice meeting you comment, & nothing about a future appointment. My husband & I were shocked by Dr. Abildgaard’s insolence, rudeness, and lack of civility.

All I will say is he is Extremely good at his job.

Nice

Very thorough and explained everything well!

Very comfortable diagnoses with treatment options. Great manners!!!

I trust Dr. Abildgaard very much. He’s been so helpful.

The entire office is run so efficiently! I went from check-in to check-out with xrays and treatment the same day. To a healthcare worker with an injury it was amazing to get me back on the job as quickly as possible. Kudos to OrthoAZ!

Takes his time to explain the problem and treatment.

Straightforward, easy to follow/understand, pleasant to speak with (listens & doesn't talk over or down to you), seems to be very knowledgeable

Great personality and very professional.

Highly recommend Dr Abildgaard, great doctor.

Very nice and took time to explain MRI results and answer questions.

Dr. Abildgaard is a wonderful doctor. He is empathetic and listens.

Great doctor

Finally the correct diagnosis and hope for no more pain!

Great Doc - down to earth, detailed, great bedside manner.

Top notch bedside manors. Thank you sir!

I have the utmost respect and confidence in his treatment methods and his advice.

Personable, professional and helpful Excellent experience with staff and doctor

Very pleasant knowledgeable

Explains everything in detail and offers treatment options...I appreciate that.

Came in with a concern on a knee he operated on 3yrs ago. Dr. Abildgaard came in like he had seen me yesterday. He was completely up to speed on my knee and allowed me to express all my concerns before offering his opinion. As always he was willing to allow me to choose an option and had all the pros and cons. I have never had a bad experience with anyone or anything at Ortho Az.!

Polite respectful demeanor along with a great listener Plus a extra bonus of making the visit quickly attending my needs with swift yet accurate location on injured knee and from caring for me to explaining all my needs and wrapping up with bandages needed

Very thorough and direct positive advice from Dr Abilgard. His assistant responded by phone to some later questions quickly and was very willing to discuss any further questions.

Took the time to explain my issues

Excellent. Explained all aspects of the surgery

Very attentive as a new patient we definitely appreciate his understanding of what my daughter has been through. Liked that he has options and seem to really care.

Lacks bedside manners.

Professional, thorough, pleasant and informative.

I don’t feel like just another patient in my appointments with Dr. Abildhaard. He is a genuinely caring Doctor. I have never felt so comfortable, mentally and physically prepared for surgery. I typically freak out but, he is professional and extremely thorough. You can immediately tell that he loves what he dose and it is felt though his patient care. His staff is awesome as well, they are polite and very welcoming. I am truly blessed to have found such a great team of people helping me to recovery.

First time with Dr Abildgaard. He was very thorough, explained everything and had good bedside manners.

Competent, personable,

Dr Abildgaard was very knowledgeable and explained things thoroughly. He provided honest insight when presenting my options. He was extremely patient and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend him.

So informative and clear. Appreciate his insight.

Had my first appointment with him about getting a hip arthroscopy. He was very thorough as far as how the procedure is done, what the risks are, recovery time etc.

Took the time to listen to my concerns

Dr Abildgaard is awesome! He was very punctual, nice & explained everything to me- would highly recommend

Dr. Abildgaard was very professional and thorough. He made the entire family comfortable in his evaluation but more importantly our daughter who will be undergoing her second surgery on the same knee. Thank you Dr. A

NOT VERY TALKATIVE, VERY KNOWLEDGABLE

Excellent! Great Doctor. Very friendly. Knows what he’s doing.

Knowledgeable and great communication skills

Came across as knowledgeable and experienced as he diagnosed it immediately but didn't communicate enough information. Never shared the results of the four xrays and did not provide any treatment suggestions other than PT- such as use/avoid use of shoulder, ice/heat, creams, supplements, etc. Did not encourage any communication between us. I had to completely take the lead.

Great first visit, thorough explanation. Maybe just a little more TLC when giving bad news. But overall, we know what is ahead and best options.

very personable and extremely professional and kind natured

Reallyperssonable

Very professional, courteous and clearly explains things.

We are happy with how well the surgery turned out and the constant explanation of the process let us know what to always expect.

Very caring

Jeff was very congenial very clear very informative.

Absolutely wonderful!

He was so very rude at this appointment.

Great experience. Took the time to listen to me about my condition, exam me, and answer all of my questions without rushing. Was very knowledgeable about the research and referred to it when discussing possible surgical and non-surgical interventions.

Doogie has a terrible bedside manner. Felt as if we were bothering him by being there. Unprofessional bs attitude to say the least... Never again

Listened., knowledgable & informative

Very knowledgeable and took time to properly explain things and made sure I understood.

Always straight forward it’s his answers

Dr. Abildgaard was very thorough and concerned with educating the patient on the injury and all treatment options.

Doc is so friendly yet professional. Wait time is minimal. Everyone was empathetic to my issue and the pain i was experiencing.

Great visit & experience. Wasn’t necessarily the news I wanted, but Dr Abildgaard discussed my issue in a matter of fact manner without getting too technical, easy to understand my options and outlook and felt extremely confident that the information I got was accurate and well diagnosed.

Love him!!!!

He takes the time to listen and explain his plan for treatment. Very kind and respectful when we talk. Great surgeon, I would go to him for any orthopedic needs.

Dr Abildgaard is an amazing doctor! Highly recommended if you have any knee issues.

Doctor Abildgaard and his entire team are top-notch!

Great guy! You won’t regret going to him!

Very thorough. Explained the problem very well. Very gentle in administering my shot.

Dr Abildgaard always listens to me and has great suggestions. He spends as much time with me as I need. Excellent doctor.

Dr Abildgaard was easy to talk to. He took his time and got all the information before giving his opinion. He did not rush me in and out. He is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to others!

Great success so far.

Explained what my options were to repair my shoulder. Surgery went great, follow-up appt provided photos from the surgery of before and after repair. Great experience!

Very upbeat snd thorough. Great staff too!

Very professional. Didn’t feel rushed. Answered all my questions.

Attentive, polite and knowledgeable

Very attentive, answered questions clearly.

Excellent Dr with all newest medical and surgical knowledge and practices.

No bedside manner and a bit full of himself.

Excellent. Would recommend Jeffrey in a moment. A good doctor that does not take invasive.

Dr. Abildgaard is an excellent Dr. This was only my second time seeing him. I traveled. 45 mins to see him this time because he is very knowledgeable and I trust his expert advice in my ongoing Ortho needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone i know.

Very personable, gave specific options and let me decide which to take. Nice!

Dr. Abildgaard was friendly, caring and asked pertinent questions regarding my shoulder. I look forward to following up once I have completed physical therapy.

Told me the truth and what to expect in the future.

Would highly recommend...

Very friendly was able to feel as though he talked to me and adapted to teach me instead of just tell me about what was going on.

We were able to establish a good action plan to fix pain.

I was comfortable and he went straight to the facts. I felt a bit rushed.

Very thorough communication skills. I was impressed.

I appreciate a doctor that does not jump to the most severe intervention but rather works up from the least invasive. Dr Abildgaard also was very attentive to my concerns. Highly recommend!

Makes you feel very comfortable and his shots are painless!

Dr. Jeffrey is an excellent surgeon. He’s also professional, friendly, and thorough.

He actually took them time to listen and go over options.

Great personality and excellent way of showing and describing MRI scans.

Dr. Abidgaard is a great doctor with an easy manner. He makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to discuss your medical issue, as well as chatting with you about your dog. I greatly recommend him.

He listened, calm, polite and positive! Explaining what the next steps will be in a very supportive way.

efficient, understanding knowledgeable

Not personable, won't even pretend to laugh at your jokes and you can forget about a smile. Not very informative and when describing your options everything is very matter of fact and he will not ease your mind in making a decision. His assistant made me feel dumb for even asking if a brace would be helpful and like I would waste her time if I asked anymore questions. Additionally, she confirmed my pharmacy in person( which I even wrote down) and she still sent it to the wrong pharmacy. I've never felt more like an object on an assembly line than here at this facility. Nicest people in there were the staff who checked me in and the woman who brought me back to the room. To the staff, thank you for all your hard work. To the doctor and his assistant, next time do better and get some bedside manners. You get paid a ton of money to be medical professionals so take so pride in your work and appreciate your patients who are giving you your paycheck.

Great doctor! Dr. Abildgaard explains in details the procedures he recommends.

I truly believe Dr Abildgaard is literally saving my daughter's life...She has multiple conditions and he takes this all into consideration in her treatments

Very professional

Dr.AbildgaardIs outstanding. Thank you

Very Professional and kept asking if I had other questions.

Dr Abildgaard was very informative and professional.

Explained exactly what I needed to learn

Very patient and supportive.

Dr. A is awesome! Very ‘to the point’ which is greatly appreciated when dealing with anything medical. Very knowledgeable and takes the time to go over and explain everything to you. First shoulder is on the mend, thanks to Dr A, and we are on to shoulder #2. Am trusting Dr A to not let me run out of shoulders…. ??

Great doctor. Fixed me and 1 of my kids up.

Good doctor I would recommend him to anyone

Very impressed with how the doctor and the PT communicate. I feel well cared for... rare in this day and age.

Explained everything and gave options for treatment

Dr Abilgaard is so kind, compassionate, & thorough. He listens to his patient and explains everything. Highly recommend.

Dr. Abilgaard recently repaired my meniscus and reconstructed my ACL with a quad graft. He is patient, kind, and truly listens. He is obviously there to help you in your process and I am grateful for his willingness to make my recovery the best it can be. Abilgaard is respectful of my goals and has made my recovery process totally tailored to what I can handle. I appreciate his authenticity and can clearly see the efforts he makes to ensure my rehab process is right for me. Would recommend highly for other high-level athletes.

Incredibly thorough and patient. Clearly explained all the possible factors contributing to my pain and instability and showed me evidence on my MRI scans. He thoughtfully reviewed all treatment options and referred to relevant research to predict possible outcomes and risks associated with each treatment option. In addition, he took time to address all my questions and concerns. I feel confident in the plan to move forward and appreciate it has goals and a set timeframe to review progress and reassess options if needed.

Love the Abildgaard team!

Dr. Abildgaard is wonderful. Always listens to my concerns and makes sure I’m taken care of. Sad to leave such a great doc.

He is punctual, thorough, professional and friendly.

Best surgery and surgeon I have ever had. Very professional. Would highly recommend for any shoulder surgery,

Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

He was very Rude, I will Not go back to him

Very thorough in the time I had with him. Discussed my situation and gave me some options on how to treat.

Bad bedside manner. Came out wondering why I even went.

Didnt talk much or let me know he was finished with me. I still felt he was informative and kind

Dr. Abildgaard was very professional, well mannered and listened to what I was saying. He explained the xray results and the course of treatment which was very understandable. I would recommend him and his practice.

Very professional with no pressure on surgery. Lays out all your options. My knee is 100% better than what it was 6 weeks ago!

Quick, friendly and dealt with my grumpy teenager wonderfully. I would recommend!

did not explain when and how long to wear wrist brace. did not put what size brace to get.

Dr. Abildgaard came highly recommended... and he did not disappoint! A doctor who treats his patients with kindness and care... so welcome in today's world.

Great listener, personable and caring. Layed out the perfect plan of treatment for me.

A great doctor

Was late (due to surgical case), not personable, was quick wanted to get us in and out. Said my daughters pain was typical jumpers knee. So I guess we are just typical.

Doctor Abildgaard was excellent. He was very professional and gave me all the information regarding my shoulder injury. He offered options for my treatment snd gave me the advantages and of each option. He certainly gave me enough information to allow me to make an informed decision. He is very personable and kind. Highly recommend him.

I would never ever see him again. Very rude

Worse than the VA is that pretty much sum it up

Excellent help to my injury

Very friendly and thorough ortho doctor. Highly recommend.

Very pleasant and easily relates to my athletic teen

Warm friendly office. Dr Abildgarrd has great bed side manner and communication skills!!

Has time to answer questions. Very personable, felt very confident in his ability.

100% top notch Dr. took all the time I needed to explain my situation so I understood. Showed me previous MRI results. First surgeon that made me feel comfortable. Quite honestly I don’t know to show or say how much I appreciate the 5 minutes he took to simply explain my options. Thank you so much.

Jeffery was very patient and great at listening to my concerns. Explained all of what was going on with my knee pain and made sure I understood the options going forward.

Very knowledgeable, thorough and efficient.

Always treats me like good.

Excellent bed side manner. I really like that he isn't super aggressive with treatment like immediately doing extensive testing and surgery. The treatment plan was less scary because I had options and I had a say in my care.

Doctor is extremely knowledgeable and understanding and I appreciate his patience with me. Great “ Bedside” manner.

Wonderful attentive treatment.

He answered all my questions and shared more information I had not thought to ask about.

Dr. Wasn’t able to completely help me but gave me an rx and rx for pt but explained my problems are spine related, which he doesn’t handle. Gave me two dr. Names for referral if pt doesn’t correct problem. He listened thoroughly and examined me . I was very pleased and following through with his instructions.

Spent a good amount of time going over imaging and educating

Very helpful. Great personality

Super nice. Very professional and informative.

Super nice with very clear explanations.

Open and honest.

A bad experience.

Answered all my questions. Very good Preopp meeting!

Worst experience seeing an orthodontist. Wasn’t interested in assessing my mri’s. Didn’t want to discuss next steps or a plan. Waste of my time and money.

Dr. Abildgaard and his team are excellent. They take the time to make you feel comfortable with your treatment options, and show genuine passion for helping you heal.

Always a pleasure with Dr Abildgaard

Dr. is punctual, professional, friendly, spends time needed. Explains options in easy to understand discussion.

Very professional and helpful

Thorough and exceeded expectations

I found some of his comments offensive and felt like he was talking down to me. I actually felt like I was being chastised. It was clear he is knowledgeable, so I don't fault him for that.

Doctor was very helpful in explaining what happened to my knee after 2 falls. Gave me 3 options for treatment; we agreed on one and look forward to a good result.

Regular type of guy. Very friendly , assuring and his procedure was painless,---totally! Recommend hin strongly.

Great Doctor! He explains everything thoroughly and honestly. I also really appreciate him being prompt. His assist Macee is also great! She seems to be one of the best out there!

Very bright. Listens. Honest.

Very nice!

Always very thorough and personable.

Always a great visit with Dr. Abildgaard. He explains everything very clearly so that my nonmedical mind can understand.

Dr. A was very knowledgeable and explained condition and options.

Very well done. I am in the SALES of major life style decisions. His approach was the right thing for me Medical problems are very real. BUT he knew that they are still based on a personnel decision by a person that has NO medical knowledge. Well done.

Fasntastic surgeon. Calm, kind, and explans everything thoroughly and answers all questions. Very happy with my pre-op experience, surgery, and post-op care.

Dr. Abildgaard did a great job with my rotator cuff surgery everything is on schedule if not ahead of schedule after my surgery he came out and talk to my wife and explained everything and brought her up-to-date we were very impressed

Dr. Abildhaard was very helpful letting me know all of my options concerning my shoulder issue. He listens to you and takes his time explaining whatever you want to know. Staff is great too👍.

Very helpful

Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained all scans clearly and in an easy to understand way for me!

Dr. Abildgaard was very professional and easy to talk to about my condition. He listened, asking many questions and he gave me a few choices for treatment. I would recommend him to my family and friends without any reservations. OrthoAZ made a great choice in hiring this Dr.

Friendly and very accommodating.

knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly.

Very thorough explanation of treatment options. Sound basis for his recommended treatment plan

Great follow-up after surgery. Shows genuine concern for patients. One of the best!

I would highly recommend Dr. Abildgaard to anyone considering shoulder/rotor cuff evaluation or surgery. I have been very pleased with all the staff at OrthoAz. To be able to have a facility that can evaluate, perform surgical procedures, and rehab you with their physical therapist is all you can ask for.

Super friendly and very knowledgeable.

Poor bedside manner

Very straight forward and knowledgeable

He listened to everything I had to say, was super knowledgeable and understood my concerns. Would definitely recommend him.

Right on time for the appointment, pleasant demeanor, excellent communication and very thorough

Very professional! Pleasant to talk to!

great doctor

Listens to you, doesn’t rush.

Got straight to the point. Set me up with a plan . I felt like he heard my problems and gave me options. What more could I ask for? Thanks so much!

Dr. Abildgaard is amazing. He is one of the only Dr's that Ive seen in years to actually listen and take his time with me to make sure that he understands and addresses the issue at hand. Hands down best Dr I've seen. Thank you.

I was very impressed with the smooth operation and quick service I received.

I’m pleased with my consultation ! Staff very professional and courteous. Thanks to all!

Extremely nice and professional. Explained everything about the issue and options for treatment. I left knowing that Dr. Abildgaard would be the doctor for any future issues for my family and me with our knees.

Very unprofessional, uncaring, talked down to me and rolled his eyes when I tried to answer his questions.

He’s very real. He ask questions and actually listens to his patients. He’s very truthful and I feel I’m getting the best care! Thank you so much!

Great experience! Everyone was friendly and efficient. Dr. Abildgaard was very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with him. He listened to my concerns and gave me all options available for my problem.

Very thorough and professional from start to finish !!

Dr Abdilgaard is easily approachable and willing to include studies and anecdotal evidence to help guide you through decisions. Great doctor and I absolutely recommend him!

He knows his business and I trust him.

Very understanding. Answered all my questions and gave recommendations. Very knowledgeable.

He was very nice and knowledgeable . When he suggested I see a spine surgeon if the pain management does not help. He got offended when I said are Ortho surgeons as good as neuro surgeons. That was just a question and my opinion . I was not trying to discredit him as a surgeon. He did not like that question and his whole demeanor changed towards me.

Took the time to explain answers to all my questions.

Could not help relieve the pain. The clinic is not set up to relieve pain. Only gave oral steroids that did not make a difference. Then referred to physical therapy which couldn’t see him for 3 weeks to show him excercise to do. Will have to wait to go home and see the doctor back home.

This doctor appeared to have no heart. After a cursory exam, he pronounced "You're fine. Keep doing what you're doing." No suggestions or ideas for options or even encouragement. If the knee was fine, no appointment would ever have been made. :o(

Dr. Abildgaard was efficient and thorough. He was friendly and personable. He was punctual. I really appreciate his work with me.

Explained things in way my daughter could understand. Thorough. To the point.

Was helpful with my needs

Gave me great information, glad I ended up with someone like him to determine next steps.

Always happy to see Dr. Abildgaard at OrthoArizona. He is very thorough and explains everything in detail.

Professional, Prompt, thorough and explained all options precisely

VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING TI YOU

Booyay!! Great dr

Explained all my options, caring, trustworthy

Thanks for taking the time to insure I'm okay.

He is an excellent and caring Physician and Surgeon, knows his job well and has the best Bedside manner -- he needs a 6th star

Seems like a nice guy. I got a cortisone injection in my knee. Knowledgeable, explained issue, gave me different options and didn't try to sway me one way or the other. All business. I would prefer a little bit more humanness, but it seems since COVID-19 everyone I come across pretty much wants to do their business with you and be done. Grocery store clerks, banks, and restaurants are all the same way. Entire process from making the appointment,to checking in, to the short wait time, to the gal who takes you to the room, to checking out was smooth, professional and a pleasant experience. I would definitely go back for any Orthopedic issue I have in the future.

Dr. Abildgaard was outstanding. Very proficient and polite.

Very thorough!

Dr. Abilrgaard does an excellent job explaining things, and answering questions you don’t even know you have.

Very honest and knowledgeable

Sat with me and answered all my questions and explained what was going on.

Very thorough and made me feel comfortable with his explanation of my mri.

Great doctor would definitely recommend him

Professional and knowledgeable

Very informative and performs his job duties very well.

Excellent doctor - will tell my entire family about him

Great Dr and staff

This is the second time I have used him(hoping I don’t have a 3rd). Great surgeon

Very helpful and friendly.

Excellent examination. Precise. Provided valuable feedback, answered questions directly and thoroughly. Was open to follow up questions and did not make me feel bad that I didn't understand some of what I was told. Instead just gave clarifications.

So far so good. Anxious to get the surgery over with. Everything‘s going fine so far.

He was direct and concise. Not overly friendly, I mean no sugar coating, but I’m okay with that!

I highly recommend Dr. Abildgaard!

He was patient and listened to my concerns.

Listened to me and was very helpful with the upcoming process and treatment plan.

He listened to my issues and provided explanations and suggestions for care. I have had issues with other orthopedic doctors not really listening, but Dr.. Abildgaard paid attention. often find orthopedic doctors

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Willing to spend time explaining my issues and offering different solutions to help heal my arm.

first visit, very nice and honest

Thank you for being so informative and very caring.

Very thorough, attentive, and took the time to answer all my questions.

I was very impressed with my first time.

First class care

Very thorough in reviewing all the options available and details on risks.

As always, our care from Dr. Jeffrey was outstanding. You are very lucky to have him in your practice.

So kind and helpful to me and my knee!!! The office staff also very helpful and got me in quickly!!

Professional, kind and very thorough. Took time to explain injuries and procedures from initial visit. Follow up from surgery was timely and more than I had expected. Will definitely refer this surgeon.

Great guy. He is not rushed and takes the time to talk and explain. I will never see any other doctor.

Very Knowledgable and courteous

The doctor was fantastic, unfortunately he doesn’t do hip replacement which was the reason for my appt.

Knowledgeable and caring. Grateful that I met him.

Great doctor! He’s knowledgeable and easy to talk to. His assistant Macee is great too!

Knowledgeable, good listener, conservative remedy approach to healing.

He was so great during our visit. Very thorough and explained all options in a very understandable manner. We appreciated his honesty yet personal approach to our reason for visit. Very pleased!

I was very impressed with Dr Abildgaard. He explained everything so I understood my options. I will recommend him to my friends.

Explain all my options, friendly and very professional.

I tore all three hamstrings off the bone and was referred to Dr Abildgaard to reattach my tendons. This surgery was very scary and hugely emphasis with a long recovery. Dr Abildgaard did an excellent job doing the surgery and guiding me through recovery. I could not give him enough praise. Not a lot of surgeons are equally good at surgery and patient care!

Dr. Abildgaard is one of the best surgeons I've had the pleasure of having fix me. I have heard stories about the pain associated with shoulder surgery, but with this surgery, pain has been minimal and scars are virtually non-existent!

Dr. Abildgaard was incredibly thorough and honest during my visit. He is also kind, friendly, and highly perceptive. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a knee specialist.

Very nice and helpful

He maybe spent five minutes with me doing a very superficial exam. Would not listen to what I have been through the past 15 months and furthermore gave the impression he did not CARE! Would never go back to him.

Great doctor.

Dr Abildgaard is great. You can tell he truly cares about the patient from the first visit and interaction with him. Would recommend him to those searching for care.

Impressed with this entire office and team. The front office was prompt, efficient and very friendly. The assistant was very nice and professional and the Dr was right on time and very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Very nice to see an office so efficient , professional and friendly. Highly recommended.

Exceptional! Actually takes the time to explain everything and not rush you if you have questions. He definitely cares about his patients.

The doctor was quick eager to help explained everything thoroughly All around very good

Thorough expiation of injury, surgery, and risks of having / not having surgery. Would recommend this

Amazing!!!!!

Felt very rushed- no explanation as to why they needed to do an X-ray when all I went in for was a bump. Felt very much rushed in and out of my appointment. No warm and fuzzy feeling from the doctor to make me want to return as a patient.

Great Dr The Best patient care.

Dr. Abildgaard is by far the best doctor I have gone to for my extensive knee problems!! Never felt rushed, always answered all my questions, genuinely cares for his patients. If I ever have more knee problems he is the only one I will go too.

Listened to what I had to say about my issue . Was diagnosed very quickly and a plan to help me feel better was laid out and the Dr. was very clear as to what my pain was from and how to fix it

Dr. Abildga

He takes this time and is very considerate.

Said it's fine to go back to work when my injury is numb and 10 times worse being on it didnt tell me what o could do to make it better or to help it

Great bedside manners, listener. Highly recommended.

Amazing young man and professional. Obviously very knowledgeable, excellent and quick EI (emotional intelligence) in understanding where I am as a physically active person, and where I am as an injured patient. Thank you Jeffrey!! Well done!!

Very DISSATISFIED & UNHAPPY with diagnose. Doctor & Nurse or Assistant never returned my call after 2 days.! Explanation not acceptable. Even senior citizens deserve better treatment than this PAIN IS PAIN!

to the point, in a good way

Professional but treats you like family. Great experience!

Great conversation and educating. I felt like the time I was in the office with him was important to him too. I never felt rushed.

Thanks for all your help Dr. Abildgaard.

Kind, knowledgeable, clever, trustworthy, and reassuring. I am healing. Dr Jeffrey Abildgaard didn't treat my symptoms. He healed my causes. Thank you, Dr. Abildgaard.

Have seen him twice and both times very professional and listened to me about my issues.

Dr. Abildgaard was great. Gave me a lot of information and great advice.

On time! That’s my biggest pet peeve with docs! On time and very assertive

Dr. Abildgarrd was great. Minimal wait time, barley enough to complete the paperwork. Explained everything during the evaluation and finished with an almost painless injection into the joint. I wish I had came in months ago.

Great Dr and great person.

On time, spent time with my mother, explained all options, and was thorough after looking at X-rays in the discussion. Very good doctor. Thank you!

My second appointment with Dr Abildgaard and I've been very impressed. He took the time to really explain what was going on with my shoulder and my options.

Dr. Abildgaard is terrific! He explains things so you can understand the injury. He doesn’t jump straight to surgery if there are other options could heal the injury. His bedside manner is professional and kind. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Abildgaard and Ortho Arizona.

He was very understanding,, caring, and knowledgeable. I appreciated the care I received from him.

Personable, however, he did not take any initial girth or ROM measurements to compare to my release. Neither did he ever palpate the area for swelling on followup appts for comparison/healing. The only 'test' was extension at my initial visit and only extension at my release appt where flexion was of greater importance he did not ask me to demonstrate. I am disappointed with the lack of tracking progress which is properly and accurately done with measurements, and palpating.

Very cool thanks I do not belive in any covid-19

Good guy and willing to assist. Would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who actually cares!

Excellent results with Dr. Abildgaard and the entire team at OrthoArizona—Melrose location. Thanks everyone for the excellent support.

I fell so good glad I had Jeffery to take care of me I’m on top the world now thank you so much excellent service

Very thorough

Knowledgable and informative

Very nice, professional and thorough.

Very informative and very cordial.

Great surgeon and doctor

Very happy with my doctor

No comment

I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Abildgaard . He was caring and thoughtful. He explained my condition and course of action with lots of attention to details and examples. He was an excellent listener who carefully laid out my options. He did a great job of explaining the pros and cons of various treatments. Thanks Dr. Abildgaard!

explained my diagnosis well and answered all my questions. Was on time

very professional very personable really knew what he was talking about it was refreshing to find such a young bright personable Doctor

Thank you!

Great visit!! I appreciate all the health care workers that help us - especially during these difficult times.

He was very nice, and seemed knowledgeable (made diagnosis quickly based off my description of pain). But his recommendations weren’t really helpful, was unable to tell me if meds would effect breastfeeding, and no guidance as to pain reduction other than seeing PT. There was no discharge instructions or follow up plan. The office is a total cattle call and very impersonal. They took unnecessary xrays and wanted payment before letting me leave, check out was very rude.

Great experience. Broke down entire process to make expectations easier understand.

He was quick to accurately diagnose the problem. My x-ray was in-house and done within minutes of waiting. I was in physical therapy that same week.

Gave me a detailed explanation of my condition and the treatment options available.

Dr. Abildgaard is top notch. I feel really luck to have been able to find him to do my shoulder surgery.

Thank you Dr. Abildgaard for a wonderful shoulder repair and giving me the use of my arm back.

This was my first Telemedicine visit. I found it rewarding in the consultation area.

Great Doctor listens and cares about his patients and explains things so you can understand.

Very thorough and professional. Listens to my concerns and input to determine the best treatment for my situation.

Dr Abildgaad is very professional and kind and understanding and patient. he knows how to communicate to us laymen who are not medically very knowledgeable. He was very willing to answer all of our questions. So we understood everything he told us. He is one of the very best doctors we have had.!

It is great to finally what the next step will be.

always provides good service

Dr. Abildgaard was very thorough and honest which I appreciated. I had a pretty severe injury and he took the time to explain everything. My surgery and rehab went well. I would definitely recommend Dr. Abildgaard for shoulder surgery.

Doctor is very informative and I always leave feeling better about my situation. I would recommend him to everyone who wants a great Ortho Doctor.

Very friendly and professional

It did not show me my x-rays or explain what exactly was wrong. Just suggested PT.

Professional to the point and very thorough in his description

he was very informative and explained everything in a way i could understand.

I visited with Dr Abildgaard after having visited an orthopod at a competing facility. Dr Abildgaard provided everything my previous experience lacked: bed side manner, well considered options, an appropriate amount of detail, and above all time.

Dr. Abildgaard is thorough, patient, and professional. He completed shoulder surgery on my 15 year old son to repair damage from dislocation and to remove a loose body. I have complete faith in his recovery thanks to Dr. Abildgaard.

Excellent communication.

Highly recommend this practice and even more so Dr Abildgaard! He took the time to explain the injury and answered all our questions without making us feel uniformed.

Knows what he is doing

Very informative - Nice Guy

Fantastic!

Dr. was kind of snippy, dismissive. Like we were bothering him. Not like him, since my husband has been his patient.

No wasted time, quick and to the point, good personal skills

Couldn't have asked for a better doctor

He was reassuring, explained the issue, answered every question.

Amazing physician, so knowledgable and thorough with great judgement and character. After tearing just about everything in my knee, he literally put it back together and I have had a great recovery thus far and am almost back to baseline. I am still amazed at the job he did with the surgery.

Very professional and thorough. Explains problem and treatment options well.

DR Jeff talked at my level. Seems to have great bed side manner. Would recommend to anyone.

Both the office staff and the Dr. seemed proficient and provided good information and service. .

Was on time, did not seem rushed, clearly explained his recommended options.

I had my first visit with Dr. Abildgaard today. I was impressed with his knowledge. It is impossible to give a true rating after only a consultation.

Exceptional experience. Very thorough and made things easy to understand. Very knowledgeable. Will only go to him for ortho going forward.

Totally felt comfortable. Dr. Abilgaard was very thorough and informative about the process. Answered all my questions. Very satisfied.

QAI had a wonderful experience! My knee surgery went better than expected. I loved being under Dr Abildgaard's care. He was thorough, and explained the procedure so that I could understand what would take place and what was expected of me. I felt that he treated me as though I were a family member and I trusted his expertise. I loved how he made me feel like I was his only patient at the moment. I would certainly recommend his services to friends and family. Thank you!

Did a great job communicating with me and helping me throughout the process.

Excellent service from Doctor and entire staff.

dThought he was great

First impression was great. I have had 10 surgery’s and this doctor was pleasant and quick to the point. I like that

He explained in a way that we could totally understand exactly what was going on with the shoulder.

Doc takes the time to sit and explain and educate. Super polite and personable !

Yeah sorry!!! I’ve been in the medical field since the 80’s.

Very friendly and upfront with the process of treatment.

Great practitioner with a personal demeanor and an exceptional diagnostic skillset!

Great bedside manner, provided honest feedback and laid out plan for future care.

As always, Dr. Abildgaard is top notch!

Dr Abildgaard is always professional, and explains options thoroughly in a way that patients can understand.

Very knowledgeable. Gave me options for my condition that help me decide best course of treatment.

Fast professional and knowledgeable

Personable, caring and knowledgeable

I was in his office a week and he answered and I was sasfied.

Crazy busy waited half hour Padt appt time

Wasn't super friendly, but appreciated him showing us the MRI images and pointing out & explaining the areas of concern.

Took time to help me understand my condition and provided me with options.

Seems to be very concerned about his patients.

I had a bad fall in beginning after using my own custom braces we decide to do surgery. I saw dr. Abildgaard Bc they do take my insurance so my surgery won’t be expensive. He refuse to do so. Now after my surgery Done by my dr. he refuses to work with me and he said he can’t take over some one else mess. Even I brought all documents. My surgery went great I have arthritis issue. What a shame!! He has issue with his ego because someone else did the surgery and save me from pain.

He’s awesome! Straight to the point, caring and super smart. We will always come to him for as long as he is practicing!

Exceptional apt. Very clear and informative explanation about my situation Highly recommended

Very good

True professional. Cares about the patient. Takes the time to listen and give full attention to my concerns

very knowledgable and took the time to answer my questions.

Very professional and really listened to me.

I thought his personality was pretty dry. He did not smile at all and his bedside manor was just dry for me but I was very happy with my care

He was rude and not helpful at all. It was a total waste of my time and energy. He was not willing to share his opinion and he would not answer my question. He seemed unprofessional and inexperienced. The wait time to see him was okay though.

He was nice at first, but be prepared to be looked down upon if your not a medical doctor and dare to ask questions. He even went so far to "throw a tantrum" when I kept asking questions about my son needing an xray, he stormed out of the room and said FINE LETS JUST DO IT. He's very condescending and I won't be back to see him. The staff was super nice so that's why I gave 2 stars.

Dr. Abildgaard has been professional and extremely thorough throughout my diagnosis. I am confident going forward with Dr. Abildgaard as my Surgeon and comfortable with him performing the surgery without issue.

I don't believe he even looked at my CT scans or info I brought with me to my appointment

Dr Abildgaard is always friendly and thorough in his examinations. He remembers details about his patients and checks in on PT progress. I recommend him to anyone , and especially if you have a student athlete, he is the guy to see!

Wouldn’t take the surgery

Dr. Abildgaard was great, very informative and helpful
