Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible doctor
23 years ago he delivered babies and he and his partner Dr Mallory caused my daughter to be handicapped for life. He just moved out of delivering babies to not draw attention to himself and try to change his reputation.

Excellent Doctor/Caring/ Calm
He delivered my first child. I saw him with two other pregnancies. He is kind, listens well. He is confident in his knowledge and advice yet not arrogant. I appreciated his tone and demeanor.

Wonderful Dr. He is very patient with you during your exams. He explains everything very clearly on the procedures he is doing and what the outcome will be. He helps you to understand things you may not have known about yourself. I would highly recommend him to anyone. His nurse is also very sweet and courteous.

Dr. Abell far exceited my expectations. I went in for my first pap smear and got so much more than that. He was absolutely wonderful. The most genuine and sincere doctor I have ever encountered. He actually saw me, for me, and talked with me about my struggles with depression and anxiety and really cared. Not only was he there to listen but gave me guidance as to how to get myself back. He cares about his patients as if they are family, and I truly felt that.

I consider Dr. Abell my primary doctor. He takes time to converse first followed by the exam with Dorie alongside. Finally, he discusses Any concerns I have about Any health issue. He is encouraging and a teaching doctor. He expects patients to take care of their health. He asked me questions about my health behaviors. He is an excellent physician with utmost professionalism! I always look forward to making my yearly appointment with him.
