Patient Reviews
Jun 13, 2023
I was transferred to UPenn in Jan of 2018 after a HORRIBLE car accident in June of 2017. Thankful a doctor near to my home was able to save my life the night of the accident but I had sustained so much trauma that I needed a MIRACLE. Dr. Abt (and everyone else in the liver/kidney transplant department as well as infectious disease department) was that miracle! I him/them my life! They were extremely professional but also compassionate, understanding and took the time to explain things in detail! My situation was dire and he did everything to make sure I would see 29 years old! Thank you doctor Abt and everyone else involved in my care!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
