so rude!! I called and the secretary answered, said call me back in ten minutes and hung up. I hardly ever leave a review, however the front house staff is representing the business and if they're this rude I would never want to go here.

I have been a patient of Dr. Abenante's for over a dozen years. He has helped me cope through some very difficult times throughout my life that were no fault of my own. He truly cares and to me, he is irreplaceable.

For years this doctor wrote prescription after prescription of BLACK BOX meds without telling me. He never bothered to send me in for blood work.
