Patients express overwhelmingly positive feedback, highlighting Dr. Abigail Beard’s attentive listening skills, compassionate bedside manner, and the thoroughness with which she addresses concerns and explains medical details. Many commend her as an excellent surgeon who provides exceptional care and makes patients feel comfortable and valued, indicating their willingness to recommend her to family and friends. However, there is a severe negative review from a patient who felt ignored by Dr. Beard and her staff, which allegedly led to a failed surgery requiring additional corrective procedures. This negative experience includes accusations of misinformation and disregard for patient safety, contrasting sharply with the otherwise positive sentiments from other patients.

She ignored me and her staff ignored me when I expressed concern about the localization of the savvy, which then resulted in a completely failed surgery. I now need at least two more and probably three to fix what she did and the lesion isn’t even out. She treated my legitimate concern as a mental health issue (women be hysterical, right?) as opposed to a critical safety issue. She did not tell me about multiple negative outcomes or things that could happen, and when I asked her what she would do for certain negative outcomes, she lied and then did something different than what she told me when the thing that I was worried about happened. She blamed her staff for her lack of action on my warnings and completely misrepresented everything that she would do. I saw the great reviews. They are not accurate. I’m wrecked and it will cost tens of thousands in fees and lost wages to try and get back to what I was before I chose her, and it’s not even cancer. If I pass during the invasive and… long surgeries I now need it’s on her. Like she cares.
