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.

Excellent Dr
I have been Dr Abrams’s patient for a decade - and I’m hard to please, so that’s a recommendation right there. He is an intelligent, kind, experienced Dr who communicates clearly, promptly and courteously. I have been very pleased to be his patient.

Peg Mulloy – Nov 21, 2019

Dr Abrahms was treating my Hep C condition years ago and notified me immediately when the cure drug Harvoni was introduced. The cost was astronomical and my insurer refused to pay for it so Dr Abrams along with Walgreens pharmacist submitted an appeal and got a grant approved from the drug manufacturer for treatment. Once my blood test came back that I was cured, I swear I saw a tear in his eye when he gave me the results. It was a miracle and Dr Abrams and his staff were there with me through every step of it. I have recommended him to several people since then. He is caring, kind, and explains the details in layman terms. He then got me started on a regiment of probiotics & fiber which I adhere to still today.
