As with others, he does not spend much time explaining issues you are having. I believe he knows what he’s doing but should be a little more understanding with patients. I was extremely nervous and tried some levity to the situation. He took it as an insult and was not patient friendly at all.

Dr. Abir has a difficult job, which is even more difficult for all of his patients - including myself. But somehow, between the way he has the exam set up - with an assistant on hand and his down-to-business personality, it makes the process much easier to deal with. He is also clearly a well-trained professional and will do the job right, even if it takes numerous visits. He is happy to answer any questions you may have.

I was rushed out in 5 minutes & was told that surgery was my only option. Luckily I got a 2nd opinion from another surgeon who treated me without surgery & with care. He showed no care for his patient. Will never go back & definitely not recommended

I have used Dr. Abir several times for multiple colonoscopies with polyp removal during several of them, several hemorrhoid removals and a complicated fistula surgery. He is outstanding. Always explains things, both he and his staff are attentive and caring. Never feel rushed. And the results for all of his work was/is great.

Came in for a consultation for an issue. Was rushed through the appointment (lasted 5 min) and then billed $1,000 (pre-plan) for the consultation. Was also told I needed a procedure (which would last 5 min) and was quoted $14,000 (pre-plan) for this procedure. Absolutely criminal. My fault for not getting detailed quotes in advance of showing up, but I am sharing this so others can learn from my mistake.

This past summer I was hospitalized due to diverticulitis. The most important decision we made was selecting Dr. Abir to perform my surgery. After two months of heavy antibiotics, an abscess forming in my colon, discovering my appendix needs to be removed, and feeling like I was not going to recover, we switched everything over to Dr. Abir and took the surgical approach. He was very clear and straightforward regarding what to expect, what the surgery will entail, the decisions he will be making during the surgery (whether to... read more

Last year I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, Stage 3. Long story short, it took us quite a while to find a surgeon that specialized in my type of problem. The cancer was in a very difficult area, and our prospects were fairly grim. Everyone was telling me to go to New York City, they have the best surgeons. After a laborious research, reading reviews and scouring the Internet, we finally settle with Dr. Abir. Thank God we found Dr. Abir. After seeing several surgeons, my family and I were very confident that Dr. Abir was the... read more
