Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Physician!
Doctor Abbott is the best doctor we have had in many years. He is absolutely focused on his patients and we always leave commenting on what a great visit we had with him. He listens carefully, considers options, and focuses on solutions. We are so grateful to have found Doctor Abbott. Recommend him to everyone!

Skilled doctor, gets / lives concept of patient centric managed care. Took extra time to do in depth training for me on hypertension treatment. Meets patient at the level of understanding, and educates as he treats. Has respect of his staff on a personal and professional level. A good fellow, easy social style. I have had much of my work life managing and consulting to managed care organizations. Dr Abbott is among the best PCPs I have worked with or who has cared for me. I would expect him to continue to care for patients but beyond that his common sense will serve him well in progressive managment roles in health care organizations.

Dr Eric Abbott is Excellent Family Physician
Dr Eric Abbott has excellent patient care manner. I missed Dr Rachael Degurse from the Mountain view Medical Center but she moved on. I am glad I chose Dr Abbott after Degurse. Dr Abbott is attentive and caring, he does his best.

very compassionate and attentive. I didn't feel rushed and my issues are addressed as time allotted. I know that there are time constraints on the amount of time that can be spent with a patient. I know of most physicians are migrating to concierge medicine.
