Patient Reviews
Mar 23, 2024
Dr. Abay was very thorough in his consultation with my husband. I would have liked him to direct more of his conversation to my husband, who was the patient. He referred him for procedures to be sure to cover all the bases of his health and quality care, which I appreciate. This is the first time we had met Dr. Abay so he was not very informed of my husbands past medical history and did ask questions so he could be as informed as possible. He had a professional demeanor. He was on the quiet more reserved side, but friendly. Based on the initial visit I think Dr. Abay is probably a good choice for gastrologic care.
