His partner, Dr. Bertha, did my surgery. I loved him. I had a post op visit with Dr. Abkin and thought he was wonderful as well. I have numerous friends in the medical field and they all said both doctors have a wonderful reputation. I have heard others say that they have had issues with the staff but I have had none. The person submitting the papers to the insurance papers called me at 7 in the evening to go over everything and made sure they had everything they needed. I was approved within 10 days. They were very backed up the date of my first appointment but after having Dr. Bertha perform emergency surgery on me in the middle of the night I now see how that can happen.
WAY TO GO !!! ... and save !!! CONGRATS !!

I too used Doctor Abkin, and can't say enough about the man who saved my life. The Doctor's talent and skill goes beyond the operating room. He truly cares for each patient, and will do anything to help them succeed. I’ve know patients of other Doctor’s who rarely have any interaction once the operation is done, but this isn’t Doctor Abkin. However it's up to you to make follow-up appointments.
And anything I say about Doctor Abkin, is echoed for both Doctor Bertha and Doctor Iannace. They are all top notch.
As for the office staff, I have seen many post about it. I know there is a lot of influx, because Advance Laparoscopic Surgeons are trying to get the best people for the best positions. Plus with the insurance companies constantly changing requirements and/or payment methods, this gets very confusing. What was “norm" on Monday has changed come Tuesday, and then the task of informing the staff, and then patients, is a daunting task.
Have no fear in Doctor's Abkin's ability. He's the leader in the field (and this comes from a man who spent almost 5 years researching)

Have a good week! Mary C
I was really just wondering. It's good to have an opinion reinforced or, in the case of a bad experience, to see another side of the picture.
Thanks for responding.
