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.

Careful, compassionate, and collaborative.
I am so happy that Dr. Abad is my Neuro-oncologist. From the very first appointment my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with him. He explains things clearly and plainly, and always with compassion. He really listens to concerns and cares for his patients. Him and his team are also very responsive on the portal and phone. I have been to other cancer hospitals in Houston and Boston and Dr. Abad has been happy to confer with the other doctors to give me the best care possible.I also have to recognize how great his team at Roswell is, especially Torey and Eryka. If you are unlucky enough to have a brain tumor, you should talk to multiple doctors about it - but you would be lucky to have Dr. Abad be one of them.

A Consult with Dr. Abad
As a consulting physician, Dr. Abad was professional, caring, had reviewed the electronic health records, asked questions, preformed a neurological exam, welcomed a family member in the examining room and also on the phone, answering questions and communicating his treatment plan to all. He spent a great amount of time with us, and arranged bloodwork that very day. We were heard and respected! His connection and communication was appreciated and led to us trusting his expertise and care!

Dr Abad is a caring physician prone to being cautious in his diagnosis and treatment protocols. He is responsive on the portal and arranges quick appointments when needed unexpectedly. Unfortunately, he is seemingly supported in the neuro-oncology unit by two of the most disgruntled and lazy employees encountered at Roswell in years of tx there. This poor staffing impacts the visit experience. Luckily, the unit has multiple staff that are more in line with usual Roswell standards.

Dr. Abad took great care of my sister. She was always very comfortable talking to him and asking him questions. He would take time out of his busy day just to check in with her and to sit and talk to her. He was with us through the hardest time of our lives, and he guided my sister and our parents through difficult medical decisions with patience. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, I would strongly recommend him to family and friends.
