Thank you
Excellent Doctor
Dr Abraham is knowledgeable and honest.
Dr is the best. Direct. Straight to the point. Absolutely satisfied.
Excellent care! He's never made me wait and always validates my concerns.
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.
He was very compassionate and explained everything very well
An A1+ Doctor. Very professional and knowledgeable on his field.
Excellent in his field.
Dr. Abraham was very precise and careful about my needs. He made sure we didn't have to do more than was necessary, due to other an other illness I was getting treatment for. He was a kind and thorough.
He is very thorough and I trust him with my care.
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.
Dr Abraham treated me on time, actually he was early! He treated me with utmost respect and was very patient and clear in his explanations.he was recommended to me by a friend who works in the medical field and she was extremely impressed w him as well. Thx Dr. Abraham.
he said that they were going to get another scan/test scheduled but i have never heard back from anyone. left in limbo
Dr Anraham is an articulate, sincere health care provider. Listens to my concerns.Clearly explains all tests, results and terminology. He's the best.
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.
I appreciate the depth of knowledge for my condition. Dr. Abraham clearly explains the steps and thought process in the approach of my treatment plan.
he was great but the only thing i have very bad back and i cant lay down flat it was extremley hard to lay in the posistion for him to check my neck after that i hurt the rest of the day but what he checked was fine no pain or anything its just the laying flat that about killed me lol
Very good at what he does.
Dr Abraham is concerned with all aspects of your health. He goes the extra mile to help you with all of your health issues. He explains everything in a way that you will understand.
Dr. Abraham is very pleasant. He took a lot of time explaining things to me. He answered all of my questions throughly, I never felt rushed.
Dr. Abraham was great!
Dr. Abraham is a class act, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. I trust him with my life.
Very professional
Dr. Abraham discusses treatments thoroughly with me. He has a quiet voice, he just needs to ictrease his speech volume.
He was very knowledgeable and kind. He took the time to ask questions, listen, and explain. Just the fact that he was in the room waiting for me when I arrived for my appointment was something I've never experienced before.
I don't know if it was a communication issue. I honestly could not tell you what the problem was. I just know we have felt last this whole time, unheard, unseen, and uncared for I feel like he's a very smart doctor and I will absolutely stand by that.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Abraham at the Huntsman Clinic. He was absolutely wonderful! He took so much time with me, really listened, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. It's rare to find a doctor who genuinely cares and doesn't make you feel rushed. I left my appointment feeling confident and cared for. I'm so grateful to have found Dr. Abraham ¿ he's truly one of the best!
Dr. Abraham listened and took my concerns seriously, provided the information I needed, and exceptional treatment.
Wonderful! I feel very well cared for.
Very knowledgeable
Since I recently moved I needed a new endocrinologist, I felt like I was in great hands like I've been used to in Alaska. Im glad to have Dr Abraham as my new Dr. and So comforting for my continued health care.
Dr Abraham is extremely knowledgeable and very gentle with the procedures. A very calm and caring Dr.
Dr. Abraham is a caring physician who listens and is excellent in his field. I always feel confident I am in good hands. He is also respectful.
I don't like the reason I was there but was very happy that Dr Abraham and his staff were there to help me.
Dr. Abraham is wonderful!
He is a very smart man. I feel like we are in good hands.
Dr. Devaptabu Abraham is the type of physician everyone hopes for and needs throughout their medical care journey. He is upstanding, intelligent, helpful, gentle. Not enough words to describe this fine person.
Dr. Abraham is very competent and went out of his way to explain my condition and possible treatment. He called me the next day to tell me my tests showed I didn't have Thyroid Cancer and referred to Dr. Jones, since my Cancer is in the Sacrill area.
I am so grateful for Dr. Abraham! He is incredibly knowledgeable but explains things in a way I understand. There has never been once in the five years I have been seeing him that he has ever made me feel rushed. He is very kind, and takes as much time as I need. He always makes me feel valued and important.
It was very good [TRANSLATED]

Very knowledgeable, caring, and considerate of my situation.
He is a great provider, and very attentive to details. He informs me of everything related to my conditions, and gives me options. I would never switch to a different porvider.
Dr Abraham has been working with and treating me since December 2022. He listens to my concerns and addresses them head on. He doesn't sugar coat things and gives me a good idea about next steps. I've always appreciated his professionalism and candor.
Abrupt, condescending and dismissive. Terrible bedside manner. Made me feel like I was wasting his time. Worst provider I have ever been to in my life.
Patient but not too nice. We kept rescheduling because he had family time. I have to travel 365 miles, & very tiring for an elder, me. I respect Abraham for his profession & trust that he uses it likewise
VERY PROFESSIONAL, ONE OF THE BEST VISIT WE HAVE HAD.
Dr Abraham is the best!
Dr Abraham is one of the best doctors I've ever dealt with. In our first appointment, a year ago, he spent over half an hour explaining how the thyroid works; tests and possible results. I have recommended him to several friends that have thyroid problems. He's the best!
Dr. Abraham went above and beyond, he is very thorough and does not overlook the smallest of details.
Dr Abraham was excellent and helped me out with my situation.
Dr Abraham is very knowledgeable and kind
