TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I’m 63, and 6 weeks out of meniscus repair surgery. I followed all instructions and iced often. I have been pain free since day two post surgery. Thank you for the amazing job with this knee repair. I’m excited to start walking again.
- Dr Abildgaard is a fantastic surgeon. Very helpful, makes sure all of your questions are answered and you have peace of mind before making any decisions. In your recovery process he will actually give you time to ask questions. His team will always address all questions and concerns no matter how many. Good man, highly recommended.
- Went to see Dr Abildgaard for pain in my shoulder. He was very attentive, listened to what my issues were and talked me through my options. I ended up with a shot which I hate, but he made the process simple and relatively painless. Great Doctor!!!
