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 sure what all the 1 stars are about. My experience w/Dr. Abigail was great. He came in, introduced himself, examined my foot, discussed the situation and suggested next steps. I agreed and he performed the procedure in the same visit. Follow up visit was smooth as well. All healed up and my toe feels and looks better than it has in a long time.

Very abrupt and smug acting. Kept repeating his questions although I had already answered. At least his staff were friendly.

If you want to see a podiatrist who doesn’t make eye contact and seems uninterested in you as a person, then Dr. Abigail is your guy. I’ve been a health care provider for 45 years but of course he didn’t know that because he wasn’t really interested in knowing anything about me. I was appalled by his abrupt manner and lack of compassion as he jabbed needles into my feet without even waiting a few seconds for the numbing spray to work. Of note, the skin wasn’t even swabbed with alcohol first. This is a provider who I will never have contact with again.

Stay as far away as you possibly can from this practice. Dr. Abigail is like a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing. He appears friendly at first be he is easily offended and will turn on you in a second. There are many better options in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area to receive foot and ankle care.

In a word, terrible. He was rude. Just looked at x-rays and said I had a stress fracture on one foot and a fungus on two toes on the other foot. The exam room had trash on the floor including what appeared to be a used Band-Aid. Assumed since I was up in my years that I couldn't wear a boot to protect my foot and put a surgical shoe on. Didn't even ask if I could walk in a real boot, just assumed since I was 'old' that I couldn't walk in it. I drove myself there, I didn't have a wreck, and I walked into the building and his office. Talk about an assumption! Terrible doctor.

Every visit felt rushed. Doesn’t explain as thorough as other providers I’ve been to. I’m not happy with the result after my surgery. Will not go to him again for my other foot.

Twice I went to see Dr. Abigail, 2 different years, about 2 different feet. Each time he did NO X-rays. Both times he said he could tell by looking at me walk that my foot pain was caused by my back. Several years later, when a different Dr. recommended Dr. Abigail again, I thought maybe he is better now, so I went. He misdiagnosed me AGAIN! The same way, the same explanation both times. Each time I went to another Dr. who DID do X-rays & guess what - BOTH feet WERE BROKEN! I needed casts!
