Dr. Paul I Abend, DO

Dr. Abend was professional and very educational. I appreciate how he detailed everything out for me, treated me with respect, and educated me. A great doctor, I am so glad I found him.

I was using Dr Abend for severe lower back pain. After numerous shots nothing had changed. He referred me to a surgeon, the surgery did wonders but it didn’t make the pain go away completely. So I returned to Dr Abend after about a month with less pain none the less, still in pain. Dr Abend came into the room and the first thing he said was “what are you doing here?” I fixed you! He wouldn’t sign off on a parking permit. He wouldn’t mark me as disabled yet walking from the parking lot to the store often required me to sit down. Well I followed up with back pain only to find I required a second surgery. I’m feeling better now but have been unable to work for the last 4 plus years. I am applying for disability and he refuses to give me my files that are required by the SSA. Apparently Dr Abend has failed to pay his billing company and they are holding all of his patients files. So yes Dr Abend is extremely disappointing as a doctor.

My name is Lola and my experience with Dr Abend and his office was very pleasant. I feel that he answered all of my concerns and worries. I had 2 epidural shots and feel so much better now and have a better quality of life. If I should need more treatment, I would definitely look to Dr Abend again for treatment.

Initially, Dr. Abend took time to read over my records, was very friendly and it's apparent that he's extremely competent. However, he appeared to be pushing his own agenda with the amount of times he suggested I see his wife who is also an MD. I asked him a question about a current medication. His response was, "That's a good question for my wife." The next time I went to his office he was rude to his secretary, had a totally different bedside manner and appeared more interested in me pursuing his wife's business than answering my questions.

NOONE PICKS UP THE PHONE IN HIS OFFICE.... AND NOW HIS MAILBOX IS FULL!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? HIS OFFICE MANAGER NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!!!!!!

I like Dr Abend,he is very easy going but I find the office staff to be totally unprofessional and I truly believe that if they are in the office they don't bother to answer calls like they should,this is with the Edison office.

Dr.Abend is a wonderful doctor. He allowed me to understand the reason for my visit. He never rushed me out of the office, which other doctors often do. He carefully took the time, to look over my previous medical records. I highly recommend Dr.Paul Abend.
