Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2024
I saw Dr. Abay to determine the need for a colonoscopy. Dr. Abay listened to every word I said about my medical history, asked pertinent questions and recommended a colonoscopy. I was and am extremely satisfied with his recommendation and with the steps I should take in the meantime to insure better health. I have seen Dr. Abay several times over the years and when following his guidelines, have always experienced improved health. He is compassionate, realistic, and extremely knowledgeable!
