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.

If you have another option take it.
Typical of some of your younger physicians. He lets you talk but doesn't really listen because he has already decided your treatment without your input. Fairly arrogant. I saw him one time after my regular and dearly trusted physician moved away. He immediately criticized her treatment plan that she and I had worked on over many years. If you value trust in your doctor I would not recommend Dr. Aballay.

Breath of Fresh Air!
I saw this doctor with my mother. He was so good with her and thorough, going through every detail. He spent so much time and we never felt rushed. He ordered further diagnostic tests and explained his reasoning for everything. He suggested natural suppliments which I LOVE rather than prescribing a bunch of pharmacutical drugs. I adore this approach. Too many doctors are quick to their script pads when just some self care will do the trick. He refilled some prescriptions that were getting low with no issue too. What a breath of fresh air to find a doctor that will use his knowledge of medicine & natural resources to better our health.

I'm weary of this guy. He spends a lot of time talking to patients, which is nice, but when it comes to treatment, he keeps pushing expensive, experimental holistic options that insurance often doesn't cover. He also uses pseudoscience with little evidence to back his claims as a fear tactic. At my last appointment, he suggested that my dental work would slowly poison me and that I would eventually get Lupus or MS or commit suicide, which has no scientific evidence to back it.
