I had severe respiratory problems, my physician was out of town and I was referred to her. Dr. Abraham saved me! She really knows medications and has amazing diagnostic skills. She uses technology to track your medical information, progress and follow up. She is very careful not to over extend her practice and therefore limits how patients she will see and I have rarely waited more than ten minutes to see her. Can't say enough good things about her! You will not be disappointed.

The front office staff was kind and friendly from the get go and welcomed us into the office. It was my first time in, and when my son was brought back they gave me a tour and reviewed what would be taking place during his examination. I returned to the waiting room (very clean and comfortable) and waited for the duration of his checkup. When my son was finished they brought him up to the lobby- he was smiling from ear to ear, thrilled with his goody bag and headed straight to the game area. This part is very important! The doctor (Dr. Abby) took the time and sat with me, reviewed X-rays, and went in depth about the treatment my child would need- AWAY FROM MY CHILD. We have been to offices before where they blurt out what needs to happen and it's very scary for little listening ears. I appreciated this small detail so much. From that point, I waited a few minutes until the treatment plan was ready, it was reviewed with me at the counter (again my child was busy playing games so he wasn't involved in the adult stuff) and then the next appointment was made.

Kids need regular checkups are still likely to get cavities, but when you go to a great facility with experienced dentists, your kids are going to get great treatment.
