The office help neglected to schedule me in computer so that the person who was to do test was not there. The second person was so uncaring,no attempt to correct issue even though they recommended same day appointments. The travel distance is 60 miles round trip. They did contact another patient to change their appt. Since the availability was at same time as MRI. Then going for Dr. appt. afterward rescheduling for another MRI, I was told they would call, again strange. I was not given chance to voice preferences. Then office girl calls and schedules me for 7am in wrong location. After two days of calling finally get through to change appt. stating displeasure of location and time. She stated she would cancel appt. She never did. She was to send paperwork, she never did. The new office called and asked for paperwork. After appt. Was told that office would call for Dr. Appt. She finally called 2 weeks later and stated I was to call. This is so unprofessional. Nice Doctor, horrible help

I was suffering from severe sciatica and went through a series of frustrating conservative treatments elsewhere, to no avail. I decided to consult Dr. Abraham, knowing that surgery was probably my final card to play. Dr. Abraham's staff promptly set up an appointment, where I was decisively diagnosed and given a date for surgery sooner rather than later due to my condition. My surgery was successful! The pain is gone and I am nearly back to full function. I can't believe some reviews are negative, even bordering on venomous! I learned a little patience during my ordeal. I don't remind waiting for fifteen minutes, half an hour or more if the doctor I'm seeing is compassionate, caring, positive, and gives me the time I need. Dr. Abraham (and his staff) are all those things. This practice also gets high marks from me for great pre-surgery advice on how to prepare, as well as thorough and helpful post-op guidance and encouragement. I highly recommend Dr. Abraham in all aspects!

Dr. Abraham was dismissive, rude and arrogant. I've never seen a physician trash his own staff or nurses in general the way this guy did. Not to mention that he was very upset when my husband wanted a second opinion and said we didn't need a second opinion my husband just needed to lose weight. Run away from this clown.

After being forced to retire early due to lower back pain, I moved to Wyomissing from Massachusetts and found DrAbraham. I had been told by a number of surgeons in Mass. that my back was hopeless and I had to live with the pain. Dr Abraham had a plan to make me better. I had surgery In Feb. and by the end of March, I was walking upright and pain free on my right side. It is a miracle. I am looking forward to having my left side fixed in a couple of months. I am already back at the gym 4 days a week. I was literally confined to my bed for months before my surgery. I feel like I have been given a new lease on life. Thank you Dr. A and the most helpful staff I have ever encountered, and I have been to a lot of different doctors offices over the years.

Dr. Abraham treated me 10 years ago for a herniated disk with an injection and 3 weeks ago, from this review, with a microdiscectomy. Dr. Abraham gave me great care. He was informative, patient, attentive and extremely professional. And, most importantly, I had a great outcome.

After 10 years of extreme lower back pain, Dr. Abraham performed a spinal fusion that has been life changing. It's been over a year and I am pain free!
