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.

If you are looking to waste your time, this is the place for you!! The office staff will not call you back or communicate

The best neurosurgeon ever. I had surgery in nov. 2018. Woke up with instant relief. I have had a lot of surgerys before and by far this was the easiest to heal from. He is very amazing and couldnt ask for anyone better. Dr. Ableum you rock and you also have the most amazing nurse.

Would not suggest seeing this doctor. He told me he could not help me and was very rude on top of that. Does not go out of his way to help someone in need.

Dr. Abuelem is a good surgeon but once he has operated and hasn't solved all your issues he has no recommendations. He does not think out of the box.

Dr. Abuelem is simply amazing! He is not only a perfectionist at what he does, but he is also the kindest and most caring Doctor you could hope for. His staff, especially his nurse, Shana, and Brandy, are equally kind and caring! I cannot say enough good things about this amazing group!

This is the best neurosurgeon I've ever been to. And I've had one previous spinal surgery. While my previous surgeon was great, Dr. Abuelem has been wonderful in trying to help me with the spinal issues I'll have for the rest of my life. I have already recommended him to my fiancé for his spinal surgery.
