Patient Reviews
Jul 06, 2021
Dr Abkin was amazing! Coming up on my 2nd year sleeve anniversary. Off all meds, apnea gone and blood sugar perfect. This surgery helped me be healthy again. Everyone from front desk, nutritionists and nurses were wonderful and caring. The classes they ran got me very prepared for the surgery. I highly recommend!
