This visit was to discuss the results of my MRI and X-rays. The Doctor recommended a course of action and explained why. She then outlined the steps that need to happen between now and when the surgery can be performed.

Dr. Abrams is an excellent surgeon and physician. She is gentle when removing stitches. I had some concerns about things to do at home in recovery. She explained all the reasons for everything I had to do. That helped me a lot. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr Abrams almost acted as if I was a nuisance. If surgery is not an option, then I feel that I will save us both time and move on. If my condition worsens I'll contact the clinic.

I recommend Dr. Abrams to anyone considering spinal surgery. She is an excellent surgeon and my results are turning out wonderfully. She not only explains what she did but show you on the computer using your own X-rays. I had a lot of questions and she patiently explained what I should do about each one. I can't say enough good things about her.
