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.

Dr. Abella is Amazing!
Dr. Abella is great. She took her time to explain the game plan for my wife’s delivery. She is a very caring person. I was a very nervous man, since this was our first and only child. She was always there to reassure us whenever we needed it. The delivery went great eventhough we planned for a regular delivery and it became a c-section. I don’t go anymore since we’re not having any more kids, but I am forever grateful to Dr. Abella for her skill and kindness in delivering our little girl and helping a dad get through it. Only my wife goes now, to get her routine exams done and no complaints here. As for the negative reviews, I don’t understand why people would write negative reviews about the office staff. This is about Dr. Abella, not the office. One bad review even said Dr. Abella was great but gave her 1 star because of office issues. Don’t you think that you are robbing people of a wonderful doctor because you can’t follow simple directions. Read the instructions next time!!

I liked Dr. Abella however, the office is the worst i’ve ever experienced. After my visit, I was told “no news is good news”. 3 weeks went by and I didn’t hear anything. Finally, I get a call explaining that there were abnormalities that needed to be discussed. After thinking everything was ok for 3 weeks I was extremely frustrated yet, the nurse did not seem to care one bit. Before my next annual visit, I was rescheduled. Then, 1 day before my visit I received a voicemail that there was an emergency and I would have to reschedule again. Of course I was frustrated but I tried to call back for the next FOUR DAYS with no luck of reaching anyone (I tried every single extension option too). On day 5, I found a new practice/doctor and attempted to call again to obtain my records (surprise, no answer). I had to drive 30 mins out of my way to get my documents in person. Then, I was greeted with unfriendly behavior and told I would need to come back for my records a different day. Worst Ever

If I could give -100 stars, I would. As a new patient, I booked a month in advance for a yearly visit and a consult with Dr Tara Abella. When I booked my appointment, I specifically asked for Dr Abella, not a Nurse Practitioner, because I also had serious health concerns I wanted to speak about directly with a doctor. Though the appointment was a month out, which I was not so happy with, I accepted because I was a new patient and wanted to find a new gynecologist that I could go to (having move
