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.

Not recommended
Dr. Abbott was ok until she decided to refer me to a surgeon to have my perfectly functioning thyroid removed to “spare” me from occasional FNA biopsies. She gave me the impression that she wanted to make money off of this referral and did NOT have my best interest at heart. Then when a new endo related problem arose, she coldly refused to take care of it. So I kicked her to the curb and found a new dr at Renown Endocrinology.I also would like to mention that her office staff is super rude!

Dr. Abbott is a very thorough doctor. She is professional, has no problem answering any concerns or questions you might have. You never feel like your rushed during your appointment, she takes the time and cares. The office staff is always professional, polite and very helpful. I always recommend Dr.Abbott and wouldn’t go to anyone else.

She is an outstanding doctor.
I talked with the receptionist and was given an appointment, Doctor Abbott listened to my concerns and had me go in for a blood test. After the blood test she knew what needed to be done and ordered a prescription for me. Her office called me after I had been on the prescription for a week to see how I was doing and if I had any issues. They had me do another blood test in 3 months to ensure that I was on the correct dose. I am very happy with the results and feel very good. My thyroid is working well with the prescription given to me.

Dr. Abbott
Been seeing Dr. Abbott for 15 + years now and I wouldn't go to any other Reno Dr. for thyroid issues. Experienced HORRIBLE treatment and attitude from 2 other physicians in Reno post thyroid cancer who both were recommended by other patients and covered on my insurance plan. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE physicians, staff and overall treatment from both offices. Both physicians could have cared less about the patient or treatment plan(s) they offered and if you questioned their protocol they told you you would be fired as their patient....WOW, no say so in your personal care and treatment! The first few years I paid out of pocket as my insurance plan did not cover Dr. Abbott's care, but it was worth it to obtain the best medical treatment from a Doctor who cares and knows her treatment plans. Dr. Abbott has been totally worth having as my Endocinologist!

Appreciate Dr. Abbott and her can-do attitude!
Dr. Abbott has helped me to manage multiple endocrine issues successfully. After bouncing between multiple endocrinologist’s due to insurance changes, she listened to me, helped me to understand my situation better, and then balanced me successfully. This is a great work after over 30 years of imbalance. I appreciate her and most of her staff!

So thankful for Dr. Abbott!
Dr. Abbott and her staff have been a literal God-send for me! Post thyroidectomy, I ended up with a rare parathyroid condition that is extremely difficult to manage. Dr. Abbott is a leading physician in this area and has turned what could be a very stressful situation into one that we are able to manage. I feel very fortunate to have her as my endocrinologist.
