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.

I've been a patient of Dr Abrina for the last few years, my parents were/have been patients of hers and her husband Dr Kumar's for years as well. Dr Abrina is the first doctor I've felt truly comfortable with, I feel like I can bring up and discuss any issues without judgement or shame. Both she and Dr Kumar have been great to myself and my family, continuing to provide care to me despite no longer accepting or working with patients under UHC insurance. They truly care for their patients, it blows my mind that there could be negative reviews! My only complaint is some of the front desk employees can be rude, with the exception of Ube who is the sweetest!

My husband and I have been seeing Dr Vanessa Abrina for yrs . and she is very friendly ,understands and listens and cares about her patients . Anyone who says she doesn't , doesn't know what they are talking about!!! I would highly recommend her to my family which I have or anyone who wants to see a good doctor. Her husband Dr Kumar is also a good doctor as well!!!

Great doctor
I thought it was funny how multiple reviews stated that they didn’t understand the bad reviews because these people were great. I saw multiple reviews about people probably looking for meds and that’s probably true. I went into my appointment today being kind of cautious because I didn’t know what to think but after having a ton of medical issues and opening up with that to dr Abrina, she pulled up a chair and gave me the time of day to hear me out. First doctor to legitimately give me like 3 prescriptions for medical procedures that could finally put my health on the right track. This was such a breath of fresh air. The nurses/ people that drew blood and the receptionists were awesome. As someone who worked in management, I know how to treat people with respect, maybe the people writing the reviews were all Karens that we’re horrible people. Not sure, but definitely happy with my choice making her my primary care doctor. Thank you!

I like dr abrina been seeing her for 4 years or more always friendly and has helped me a lot over the years. I think bad reviews might be because they didn't get the drugs thay wanted. Can't think of anything else bad reviews can be about. Very good doctor

Worst Doctor I have ever seen in my life. Horrible, inconsistent, treatment. Try reaching her on on the phone. She doesnt even return calls to the Insurance company. She prescribes medications without explanation. When you pick up your meds you have no idea whats going on. She explains nothing. I was told to see a Cancer dr, after blood work, and nothing was wrong. She had me thinking I had Cancer for a week until I could see the Cancer Dr to find out this was not the case. I would not go back, and neither will my family.

Dr. Abrina took over the Old Bridge office from my previous doctor (Dr. Belder) who moved to Florida. I'm not really sure why, as she's only there two days a week. I usually wait thirty to forty minutes for five minutes of her time. She speaks really fast, and literally has one foot out the door while addressing your issues. The office is under-staffed and seem totally uninterested in helping anyone. The woman at the window is cold and unfriendly. The office manager is clearly in over her head, but tries to be accommodating. Something as simple as updating the sign that lists the office hours is ignored. I called at 8:00 AM for an appointment and the phone message says the office is closed. (sign says 8:00 to 4:00) I called back at 9:00 and it says they're open, but nobody answers. Need a form of some type filled out by the doctor? Plan on waiting weeks for it to get done. If I ran my business like this, I would be OUT of business in a month! Time to find another doctor.

I just met her she has a good bedside manner and takes time to explain things. I will let you know how my second visit goes, but so far I like her and how she takes time for her patients. She asked alot of questions and explained why she wanted to do further testing. She is really trying to help me reach my health goals of losing weight and getting off my diabetes medications. I am hopeful that her expertise will help me heal my body finally. Stay tuned for follow up.
