Dr. Abbed went over my concerns about options for my neck and back and that he needed to have a Cat Scan of my neck to review and the MRI of my cervical spine results. In addition, he requested notes from previous visits to another surgeon and physical therapist for review.

Dr Abbed and his staff are not only caring but also attentive about patients' needs and concerns. I had major back surgery 6 months ago..this was not without receiving a thorough understanding of the procedure. Dr Abbed is an excellent surgeon and I felt I was in extremely capable hands.
