was a patient of Primary Care and Associates in Anderson, South Carolina for nearly 40 years and…read morehad an excellent, respectful relationship with my physician. That relationship was effectively destroyed--not by my doctor--but by office management. I was dropped as a patient over a $30 balance tied to a work-injury insurance claim, not a routine bill. The handling of that claim raised serious concerns for me. The situation was managed administratively, without transparency, and in a way that felt more aligned with protecting outside interests than advocating for a long-term patient. My physician was not allowed to intervene, explain, or continue my care. It was made clear that business policy overrides medical judgment in this practice. Doctors here appear to have little autonomy and are unable to prioritize patient care when office management decides otherwise. What's especially troubling is the lack of accountability afterward. Communication stopped. Questions went unanswered. Responsibility was deflected. It felt less like a medical office and more like an operation focused on minimizing exposure rather than treating people. I want to be clear: my doctor was excellent. This review is not about the physicians, but about an administrative structure that undermines them and sacrifices patient trust. Long-term patients should be extremely cautious. If billing disputes, insurance claims, or workplace injuries are involved, understand that you may be treated as a liability rather than a human being.

This practice has lost the plot…read more With every visit it continues to get worse, on all levels. The lack of consideration that is given to their patients in regards to their time and staying on schedule is unacceptable. Yes, it can happen, however religiously for the past two years every appointment has not been on time. Not just by a few minutes, I'm talking by hours. Appointments are given for a reason, one of which is respect, respect of patients time. There is much time and planning that goes into making an appointment, and for such total disregard is infuriating. In addition to their policy of no refills in between visits or their is a charge. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I'm not asking for a "new" or different prescription but please be sure the medicines that I'm on get me to my next scheduled visit. It is not rocket science. Fun fact about their billing as well, that they do not code a once a year visit ( that insurance covers). They state that visit needs to be separate and you cannot discuss any current conditions you have, it's more or less a physical. However, my insurance covers one "wellness" visit a year. This doctors office will not code this correctly!!! And then there is the overall customer service, which truly should be the easiest to excel in. You would think? Whether it is the front office staff or the apathetic billing/ scheduling clerk to the intake nurse, there are never any pleasantries exchanged. It's just like being a number. And let's not forget the fact that you can never speak to anyone on the phone. The only option is to leave a voicemail and await a call back. So, yes I am exploring other options to change doctors offices. I have had enough abuse as a patient and have reached my boiling point. I do NOT recommend this practice, as you would get better service, respect and consideration at a walk in clinic.

I am sad that I have to make this post after being a patient of Dr Abraham for 9 years. I enjoyed…read morethe empty waiting room and quick visits while my health was good. Sadly, the last 6 months his service has been horrible! He decided that my labs for my thyroid levels were troubling him, despite no complaints from me. He decided to lower my dose of synthroid twice in the 6 months and when I called to complain I felt terrible, I was told I'm fine (after making 3 phone calls about it). He never looked at my chart and realized I had gained 25 pounds nor listened when I told him I was suffering. When it was time for my quartet appointment, he downright argued with me that my labs indicate that I should be using even less of the synthroid. He, reluctantly, upped my dose, saying he was making all kinds of notes that it was against his better judgement, and, lo and behold, I was feeling better within the week. I knew then I had to find another doctor. Today I met with Dr Christian Askew of Anmed and he changed my life! I was actually skipping when I left his office, after spending almost 2 hours talking with him! It turns out because I had thyroid cancer, the numbers for my thyroid levels are much different than someone with a thyroid and now are fully in line with where they should be. Also, Dr Abraham put me on a "memory" medicine that was for Alzheimer's and never even told me that's what it's for. Dr Askew adjusted my other medications that weren't seeming to be working anymore and offered a different way of taking them. He is young, smart and in tune with new information. Unlike Dr Abraham, who is total old school and it's his way or the highway, never wanting to admit a mistake. Well, Dr Abraham, you were wrong about my thyroid levels and made me miserable and when I met with you to get my medications, you could care less that I was leaving your practice after 9 years. Oh, and I also found out I don't have to be seen quarterly, as you require. You just do it so you can bill Medicare! Crook! If you haven't figured out who I am yet, it's Gigi, and I had to use a different email because I left you a positive recommendation 7 years ago! I am so thankful to leave Dr Abraham in the rear view mirror and feel so much more confident with my current care.

Oh but wait, she doesn't listen anyway. She makes snap judgements and dispenses advice like she is the queen of the world. Can not get a word in edgewise to have a conversation or to explain, or heaven forbid, question her understanding of what you are there for. You are overweight and you are overweight and you are overweight! Is that the extent of her talent, the ability to determine by sight that someone could lose some weight? My husband has severe sleep apnea, has had is since he was a teenager and underweight, our son has all the same symptoms, so he went for a referral to have a sleep study done. He is 6'4", 23 years old....she took one look at him and said you don't have sleep apnea, you are overweight! WHAT KIND OF DR DOES THAT??? Oh wait, she's not a Dr. Maybe she has Doctor envy? Who knows what her issue is. Could he drop 30 pounds? Absolutely. Is that the reason for his apnea? We won't know til he has a sleep study, but I guarantee....that a sleep study is warranted.

I started going to her several years ago following an automobile crash. She was very helpful and concerned, through various treatments and then some other health issues. She always found a holistic alternative to allopathic drugs, many of which I am unable to take, and provided personalized care. I was disappointed that she had some definite holes in her holistic abilities; from time to time I sent her information that I had found on my own and she had not been familiar with. Recently she seems to have abandoned the holistic end of the practice altogether. As another of her clients put it, it appears that she has devolved back to her original conventional/allopathic practice where "one size fits all." If that's what I want I can just go to a walk-in clinic covered by my medical insurance; I don't need to pay her $1500+ annually for concierge visits. I admit that I was very disappointed and angry when I discovered this, and decided to discontinue the monthly payments and separate myself from her. One thing any potential client should know is that she offers *no* testing of any kind in her office. No xrays, no blood tests, nothing. You have to go to other facilities for this purpose. She provides primary care only, and some of the specialist "doctors" she has referred me to were pretty awful.
