Listens to your problems and tries to help - good attitude and bedside manner. Would like to see her spend a little more time with me on my visits, however that is my only complaint.

I have seen a lot of Doctors and she is by far the best I have ever had. I am 66 years old and I had quite a few questions and she took the time to answer each and everyone of them. I am extremely comfortable with her and her attitude is a very caring one. I would highly recommend her to anyone that I know.

Quick and easy going manner! Compassionate with a sense of humor. Their staff is wonderful and when I use the Medial Portal, their response time is with minutes or at the very least, a day.

I am extremely comfortable with Dr. Afable. She is professional and puts you at ease with her friendly manner when you go in for a complete physical. She is caring and spends quality time with me when I need questions answered.

She is a very nice doctor. However , don't expect things to go quickly. I had to wait a week for a form to be completed. I also wait a long time for referrals. She also said something I didn't agree with but good luck having her believe you

This doctor has a great manner, generally, but is not open to updating her knowledge base. You will be fine with her unless you disagree or introduce recent research. She MUST be the boss at all times.

Dr.Afable's medical practice is run in run out as fast as you can. She doesn't listen to you concerns or questions. She talks to fast, does not explain diagnosis or medications she prescribes. She doe not review your medical history before prescribing medications, to look for allergies or past negative side effects from a specific medication. In my case, putting me the hospital twice! Her staff is rude and incompetent. As a patient you have to call repeatly for test results, specialist referrals and appointments. I would never refer Dr. Afable to anyone, and if asked, I will tell them my story. Very incompetent uncaring and unprofessional doctor and staff.
