Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unacceptable Lack of Service
I have been debating about writing this review and the more I try to talk myself out of it the more I believe it's nessary. I have always heard great things about you and your staff. You see my Mother in-law has been a patient for sometime. She also knows you on a personal level. My mother in law has dementia along with a list of other issues. She just lost her partner after 41 years. She has been up rooted from her home, friends , doctors, ect. because she can not take care of herself. My husband and myself have tried to make appointments with you or a nurse, either for an appointment or via tela health to go over all these medications she is on. As it can take months to get her an appointment in Washington State. You and your office doesn't seem to have the time to see us or talk to us. This is unacceptable. You have refused to see us just to go over medication. Only to offer a sheet of paper of her medicine. I don't understand how you can have a patient with dementia who takes num

Love Telehealth Convenience
Being able to do a follow up appointment by telehealth is very convenient, especially when an ill elderly person had to leave the house for an appointment just the day before and wasn't up to doing so again the very next day. Dr. Abood and her staff were very thorough, answered all our questions and followed up with orders as promised. We will use telehealth in the future for those times when it makes sense. Glad it is an option.

Great Doctor! She doesn't hurry through your appt. She listens, looks at your chart, asks good questions, is very thorough. Maybe the best thing is she explains everything to you very well! Her staff is awesome also! I like that she has a nurse with her who dictates notes and also answers questions. First class operation!

I always feel well taken care of by Dr. Abood. I appreciated her advice and help with my problems yesterday at my annual check up. Everyone in the office who worked with me was kind, polite, and professional. I have been Dr. Abood's patient for many years, since she came to Alamogordo. I appreciate a woman doctor's point of view. She has always taken good care of me.

Dr. Abood is our family doc for almost 15 years. She's very concerned about our health, she takes our concerns seriously, she takes time to listen, she explains things thoroughly, and she's an excellent diagnostician. She told me I had something wrong before I knew it, and she was correct. I had cancer, and because she caught it in time, I had the tumor removed, and now I'm cancer free. We might have to wait to see her, yet if our situation is serious, she'll make time for us.
