Dr Abraham is a highly skilled technician and after seeing many doctors, I finally found one who was able to diagnose me. However, he is not a particularly empathetic doctor (at least in my experience) and could improve his bedside manner. He seemed offended that my husband and I were asking so many questions, as though we were questioning his expertise. In reality, we are just trying to understand the decisions that are being made in reference to my medical care. Dr Abraham was able to diagnose me almost immediately. But my follow-up visit with him was a disaster, in my opinion. I walked out feeling like I had been diagnosed all over again.

My first visit with Dr. Abraham went well. I understood that I would need surgery, but we discussed other health issues I was facing and how to navigate them for a positive outcome. After consulting with a surgeon, I emailed Dr. Abraham about the results and asked whether I could wait for surgery, if possible to increase the chances of a positive recovery. I asked him how long before I should follow-up. He said a year. At the follow-up visit he was immediately angry that I had not completed the surgery yet. I tried to explain and remind him of what had happened previously. He seemed emotionally disconnected and became more frustrated as I tried to explain. He didn't provide me with details about the ultrasound or answer my questions. His nonverbal cues, such as posture and hand gestures, seemed to convey 'washing his hands' of my situation. He didn't want anything else to do with me. The emotional tone was so hard to navigate that I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER

In past visits with Dr. Abraham, I have been very satisfied with the work done by him and his care for my needs. This time was a very bad experience. Dr. Abraham seemed overworked, out of it mentally and physically, and rushed through my ultrasound and cancelled my necessary bloodwork! Something was very wrong with this visit, and I do not trust the results of the ultrasound.
