Dr Abemayor is an arrogant sub human run away from him many better choices out there. He did surgery on me last month and I am still hurting from the procedure. Even the nurses at UCLA told me he was not a good choice. I should have listened to my inner voice I had a bad feeling about him and his abilities.

In 2005/2006 I was diagnosed with a very rare cancer, Olfactory Neuroblastoma. Dr. Abemayor along with a neurosurgeon, Dr. Kelly, performed surgery, removed the cancer and I have now been cancer-free for 12 years. They were clear with the prognosis, answered questions from myself and family members. On top of being cancer-free, the scar is very minimal. I usually have to point it out to most people when I talk about my experience. I am grateful that I have had this time and he was successful in removing it all.

I know how intelligent this man is but when given life threatening information he doesn't stand for what he does. He uses interns to do his dirty work. If I had followed his recommendation initially with Dr. Canales I would have been buried a long time ago. Dr. Canales said I have my whole life ahead of me. I felt like Abameyer was a robot.

Great dr, the only complaint is he is not available to talk after surgery with the family and we had to wait over two hours for the post operation visit. In the other hand he spends a good amount of time during the visit.

Dr Abemayor is not the most friendliest doctor out there but he is certainly one of the best surgeons in his field. After two failed surgery attempts, I went to Dr Abemayor and he worked those skilled hands and saved me from having to go through a 4th surgery.
