Dr Abbott must have changed since the last review below because my entire experience with him for my recent laparoscopy has been fantastic. He checked in with me at least twice over the 24 hours I was there post operatively, he checked how I was feeling and my wounds (mind you, so did the nursing staff). He has an amazing team who make you feel at ease, he is extremely skilled and knowledgable and has a great bedside manner. He seems like a genuinely kind person, who I can't imagine would treat anyone differently. I can't recommend him enough.
