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.

Not only did he save my husband’s life almost a year ago, he saved his quality of life with the decisions he made while in surgery removing the tumor. Very highly recommend. We are lucky to have him practicing in our city.

He saved my life. He performed a very difficult procedure to remove a mass near my pancreas. He explained the seriousness of my situation and his experience gave him the ability to accurately predict the stages of my recovery. I went back to teaching after three months. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Abbate as my surgeon. I am back to normal and the scar barely shows.
