    I have trusted Dr. Abdi implicitly ever since I first met her and understood how she could help me. My diagnosis is complicated and anxiety producing, but Dr. Abdi calmly and thoroughly provides me with what I need: understandable medical information, a sound, manageable treatment program, positivity, humor, and hope.

    I could not have asked for a better provider than Dr. Abdi. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and an expert in her field, but she has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever seen. She answers all of my questions so thoroughly and without rushing me. She truly seems to care that I as the patient understand what is going on, and in my experience that is a rare and invaluable quality in a doctor.
