Extremely gifted surgeon with military background and ethics. Great communicator, which means he also listens. He always is prepared for the appointment by studying records before entering the room. Very caring and personable.

While we were disappointed to only see PAs on our first two visits, on our third visit, we requested and did see Dr. Abel, he was patient, caring, and thorough in our meeting. We have total confidence in his knowledge, diagnosis, and advice.
