Dr. Abbott is efficient and explains her recommendations thoroughly. She's friendly while also being intently concerned about the medical issues at hand. She also has recruited a stream of really terrific Fellows who do thorough initial workups, saving Dr. Abbott's time for focused. discussion. I feel extraordinary confidence in her medical advice (and I've seen a lot of physicians in my 77 years).
