Dr. Abboud is a brilliant surgeon with excellent bedside manner. He takes the time to listen to his patients, advise of the best options for treatment. In everyone of my appointments he was attentive and answered all the questions I had. I never felt rushed and know I had his full attention. I would encourage anyone with a shoulder issue to schedule an appointment with him.

Dr. Abboud has taken care of me and my shoulders for 2 years. He has replaced both my shoulders. His care has been impeccable. I would say he has provided me with concierge type care. He was always available and provided his personal cell number from the very beginning. He has answered texts and calls directly regardless of day or time. I would recommend him highly to all patients, particularly to people like myself who value the old school personal touch doctors.

Dr Abboud is by far the most compassionate, caring surgeon I have encountered during this difficult time of injury and recovery. I came to him for a 2nd opinion regarding a potential 5th surgery on my left elbow. Dr Abboud listened intently to my story, answered every question and provide invaluable insight into how to move forward. There simply isn't enough space in this box to express how impressed both my husband and I were by his knowledge and caring approach. 5-stars!!!!

I have had two shoulder replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Abboud. Over the years my experience with Dr. Abboud has always been exceptional. Notable attributes: his attentiveness, accessibility, highly skilled surgical abilities/up-to-date knowledge and emphasis upon having an ongoing two-way patient/doctor dialog.

Spent time listening and answered questions (even dumb ones) thoroughly. It seemed clear that he was very experienced. Showed alot of care in guiding me through the early recovery process. One of the best experiences I've had ever with a surgeon.

Doctor Abboud is simply the Best! ?? I have had 2 shoulder surgeries & a reverse shoulder replacement due to a fall two years ago. Thanks to Dr. Abboud, I have regained full use of both of my shoulders. Dr. Abboud has a very caring attitude for his patients and their quality of life, and this attitude is reflected in his staff as well. Excellent care!

I can say with 100% certainly that you rarely would fine doctor better than Dr. Abboud. I had a sport injury, separated shoulder, or acromioclavicular joint injury. My first surgeon, from UPenn diagnosed that as grade 3 and said that I just should live with it, nothing can be done. Whole visit last less than 5 min after almost one hour wait. He didn't explain anything for me. For second opinion, I went to Dr. Abboud. Glad that I did. Not only he diagnosed my injury correctly and said that surgery is nessesary but also explain how it will be done and rehabilitation time frame. Surgery itself was flowless and all his office medical stuff are excellent.

Dr was very through in explaining what could be done with my shoulder pain. Not much that could be done. Only an injection that might help. If it would I would be able to get the injection once every 6 months. If no improvement than the only other option is total rotary cuff replacement or total shoulder replacement which I would never want to do at my age 73 after having a spine operation that was done (not from this dr) incorrectly and I am still in severe pain for 2 yrs.
