Dr. Abildgaard was very professional and kind and thorough. He took time to answer all my questions and I didn't feel like he was rushing to be done. He reviewed my imaging with me and I felt very confident about the treatment plan we came up with together.
I was very disappointed with my visit today. I came in with ongoing concerns about my knee locking and was hoping to get answers and a clear plan moving forward. Instead, I felt dismissed and like my concerns were not fully listened to. The doctor’s tone came across as snappy and he seemed to have an attitude when I was asking questions about my condition and concerns. I left the appointment feeling frustrated, unheard, and without the answers I came in seeking.
Dr was very informative and injections done very well with little pain. Feel results already.
I arrived early and I was seen so quickly that I checked out BEFORE my scheduled appointment time.
Dr. Abilgaard did an amazing job repairing my torn meniscus. He's easy to talk to regarding any concerns about the recovery process. He makes sure all patient questions are addressed.
Great doctor!
I had two questions that he answered vaguely. It is quite possible that I didn't have sufficient knowledge of the subject matter to have a conversation or perhaps they couldn't be answered well until the MRI was done.
Exceptional care and knowledgeable.
Extremely short appointment (5 minutes or less) lacked explaining/showing more detail of the possible issue.
Friendly and knowledgeable.
