The resident that we saw was absolutely amazing and kind, but Dr. Abramowitz was awful. Her bedside manner was terrible. She made us feel like we had wasted her time even though we had been sent based on a referral. I myself am a nurse and also in the medical field and so I get it that people are tired, but I would never bring my child back to this practice.

Didn't seem like she cared that her wisdom teeth are clearly pressing up against her back molars. Causing pain

Doctor was very gruff and off-putting. While she probably Is a skilled physician, her interpersonal skills are highly lacking. She seemed more interested in displaying her superior intellect than caring. I left this appointment feeling shaken and upset by the interaction.

Dr. Abramawicz was very disappointing. The doctor stopped in for only a minute and was rude and insulting to my daughter, not even a patient. She didn't even talk about my son's procedure. Only the resident talked to us about it and explain how it would proceed.

Despite telling the nurses and the resident and having the resident look at her tooth in question that chipped out they STILL removed an adult tooth . Very unhappy about that and not sure how it's going to impact her Louth later in life .

Very little information was given about the procedure and since there was no pre authorization, when I asked about insurance, I was told they didn't know anything about that and then they wanted to proceed with imaging and molds for a surgery that wouldn't be happening for at least 9 months on a growing child. The imaging would have needed to be redone before surgery and we received no assurance that it would be covered by insurance.
