Dr. Joseph Mekhail Abraham, MD

I am sad that I have to make this post after being a patient of Dr Abraham for 9 years. I enjoyed the empty waiting room and quick visits while my health was good. Sadly, the last 6 months his service has been horrible! He decided that my labs for my thyroid levels were troubling him, despite no complaints from me. He decided to lower my dose of thyroid medication twice in the 6 months and when I called to complain I felt terrible, I was told I’m fine (after making 3 phone calls about it). He never looked at my chart and realized I had gained 25 pounds nor listened when I told him I was suffering. When it was time for my quarterly appointment, he downright argued with me that my labs indicate that I should be using even less of the thyroid medication. He, reluctantly, upped my dose, saying he was making all kinds of notes that it was against his better judgement, and, lo and behold, I was feeling better within the week. I knew then I had to find another doctor. Today I met with Dr… Christian Askew of Anmed and he changed my life! I was actually skipping when I left his office, after spending almost 2 hours talking with him! It turns out because I had thyroid cancer, the numbers for my thyroid levels are much different than someone with a thyroid and now are fully in line with where they should be. Also, Dr Abraham put me on a “memory” medicine that was for Alzheimer’s and never even told me that’s what it’s for. Dr Askew adjusted my other medications that weren’t seeming to be working anymore and offered a different way of taking them. He is young, smart and in tune with new information. Unlike Dr Abraham, who is total old school and it’s his way or the highway, never wanting to admit a mistake. Well, Dr Abraham, you were wrong about my thyroid levels and made me miserable and when I met with you to get my medications, you could care less that I was leaving your practice after 9 years. Oh, and I also found out I don’t have to be seen quarterly, as you require. You just do it so you can bill Medicare! If you haven’t figured out who I am yet, it’s Gigi, and I had to use a different email because I left you a positive recommendation 7 years ago! I am so thankful to leave Dr Abraham in the rear view mirror and feel so much more confident with my current care.

Dr. Abraham has been great. He is very caring, knowledgeable and attentive. He takes the time to listen and address each of my concerns in depth. Throughout last year, he helped me lower my Cholesterol level safely and naturally. Can't be happier with the result. Thank you Dr. Abraham

Friendly staff dedicated serious physician

I truly appreciate dr. Abraham commitment to his patients

I felt really rushed .Dr Abraham refused to discuss my concerns. He only wants to send you for blood work.

Several years ago my family used to be among patients of Dr. Abraham. He is one of the best doctors we ever visited. Unfortunately, we left the area and are living in another city now. I wish, Dr. Abraham would move there too.

Knowledgeable doctor, friendly staff.

Dr.Abraham took the time to listen to me, and address my medical problems, very attentive. The staff were polite and helpful.

Short waiting time before seeing the doctor who was very thorough, diagnosed me correctly, and feel much better now.

will NEVER go to this doctor again. does not like for you to question him and a misunderstanding with his staff and what was perceived as anger instead of illness and stress by his staff was relayed to him in such a way that he never discussed with myself but when I broached the incident he refused to discuss with me looked at his watch told me how long I had been talking and proceeded to RAISE HIS VOICE at me and told me I didn't need to bring notes with me (questions about meds and treatment). Shocked is an understatement. Of course I never went back. New doctor now off ALL meds he prescribed for me (which were a lot of issues with my illness). he is not linked in to Anmed as he would have known of the treatments and procedures I required and diagnosis of a severe medical condition that I updated him on myself. I called these specialists and verified I did not need a referral for my health insurance to cover treatment and made appts myself.
