Dr. Abramowitz is caring, empathetic and thorough. He is really good with his patients. He made me feel so much better about the procedures I will have to endure for the resolution of my condition, and assured me that everything will get better. I am in good hands.

Review for Dr. Abramowitz

I worked for Dr Schafer for 4 years, I have to say I’ve seen the worst of the worst, and he is a kind, caring and very knowledgeable dr.. I trusted him with my children at the time, especially when my oldest daughter had an eye accident I was so worried about her vision, but he took good care of her...

Review for Dr. Khan

After a procedure, Dr. Guru always has always spoken to me, while I was still on the table and has given me an oral report. He has monitered my bladder cancer during post - treatment timeand taken a pro-actove role in scheduling cystoscopys.
