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.

Good bedside manner, explained a lot to me.
His way of explaining things to the lay person. Very Accurate and concise.

Went to Dr. Abadier for severe varicose veins in both legs. I received top notch treatment. The staff is friendly and competent. If you have a varicose vein issue, Dr. Abadier is the man to see. New procedures, chemical destruction and laser, are less invasive than vein stripping but take several months to complete. For my case, it took seven months from first visit to last visit. So allow yourself plenty of time for everything to complete.

I was supposed to see Dr. Abadier, but saw his new NP: Kim instead. After my experience with her, I don't know if I will go back. I know someone else that goes there, and had a similar experience as mine, and they expressed the same misgivings. Please Dr. Abadier, get someone else in there. She is going to cause you to lose patients, and give your office a bad reputation.

I highly recommend Dr Abadier he is by far the best cardiologist I've ever had ~ I'd give him a 10 star rating if it was available ~ he's so very caring, thorough and very connected to his patients ~ he's my cardiologist for life unless we move ~ his entire staff also gets a high rating as it feels like it's a family unit in how well they all work together

He sees both my wife and me. He takes the time to explain everything very clearly and in an understandable manner. I have been seeing him for many years now and I highly recommend him without any hesitation. I'm 83 years old and he keeps the old ticker ticking.

Dr. Abadier has been our Cardiologist for many years, and my husband and I wouldn't go to anyone but him. He explains clearly so we understand what medications are to do, and suggests what we should do to be healthier, is both professional, courteous and very pleasant. Has a great staff that is always helpful and easy to work with for appointments, etc. We appreciate the care we are afforded by Dr. Abadier, and his staff.

. I don't know if Shands just has better equipment or more sense. But Dr abadier did an ultrasound and doppler to my heart. He came in and said I had pulmonary hypertension and it was a horrible, horrible, dx. I went to a PAH specialist at Shands, prepared for a horrible horrible diagnosis.. Everything I read said at the arterial pressure he said. I was dying. Shands did a right sided heart cath and found it was a complete misdiagnosis. He was a nice guy, but time to stick to spider veins.

Seems like a nice guy (talked for five minutes after a heart attack in the hospital) but if you don't mind being charged up front and then be billed for more than Insurance pays,then this is your Doctor. His nurse practitioner is cool but why should I pay for a Doctor when I never see one? Then be sent a bill for the first time (after I already used my credit card to pay for up front) showing 30-60 day delinquent. Really??? Bye Abadier

Dr. Abadier is patient focused and asks questions that are targeted and look toward wellness and the whole individual. His office is neat and clean, although somewhat worn. The staff, particularly the medical assistant, is caring and congenial.
