Thomas N. Ahlborn's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Ahlborn seemed humble, kindly and competent, but his office staff is curt and incompetent, which in the end reflects poorly on him. I ended up cancelling surgery with him because of the mistakes his staff made in scheduling my surgery.

Dr. Ahlborn seemed competent, kindly and smart, but his office staff was rude, curt and incompetent. They made a mistake in scheduling my surgery, then tried to blame me for the error. So I ended up cancelling surgery with Dr. Ahlborn. That he condones and overlooks an incompetently rude office staff reveals an enormous blind spot -- not a quality you want in a surgeon.

I had Hernia surgery with Dr Ahlborn back in December and he was a pleasure to work with. He was very patient and treated me with care every step of the way, from beginning to end. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a good surgeon!

Stellar clinician. Takes his time and explains everything very clearly. Someone you would want with you in the trenches.

So very happy and thankful we chose Dr. Ahlborn to do my husband's surgery. He is extremely skilled and professional. We completely trust him 1000% with his expertise. It was so comforting to be completely at ease and not worry about the quality of care Dr. Ahlborn provided. I cannot recommend him enough. Kind, frank, and thorough bedside manner. We really couldn't ask for more from a surgeon.

An excellant surgeon who sadly had very little, if any, compassion for his parent's pain relief following surgery. He said that "pain relief is secondary to his patient's alertness".

Had a terrible experience. He didn’t even care about anything O said to him. Not recommended

HE IS THE BEST SURGEON EVER! Kind, patient, caring, professional, great listener, and excellent explainer. He should have been a plastic surgeon the scars are so minimal. Would never go to anyone else! Hope he never retires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST SURGEON EVER!!!! Kind, patient, excellent explainer, professional, great listener and awesome bedside manner. I would never go to anyone else!!! The scars are so minimal that he should add plastic before surgeon. Your the best Dr. Ahlborn!

I have travelled from NH twice a year for 21 years for my appointments with Dr Ahlborn.

Dr. Ahlborn is an awesome surgeon with a great bedside manner. During my entire stay in the hospital, I was constantly being told by numerous physicians, nurses and staff that I had the best surgeon on my case. Such a comforting feeling to know that your surgeon is so highly respected in the medical community.

I have to say that Dr. Ahlborn is one of the BEST surgeons ever!!!!! I had a lipoma removed by him with only a local anesthetic and I was petrified I would feel something !!! He and his staff made the whole surgery process so comfortable! He is so patient and caring!!! I would never choose any other surgeon!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS THE BEST!

My husband had an in-office removal of a deep cyst on his back. Dr. Ahlborn numbed the area but didn't give the Lidocaine time to work before cutting. I asked him to stop and give time and perhaps more local, but he kept saying it would be over quickly. This man, talented in surgery or not, is an uncaring individual wanting to get the job done as quickly as possible, and to bad if the patient is in pain. Will never go to him again.

Excellent doctor and surgeon.

Wonderful, caring, kind, very professional.

Dr. Ahlborn is wonderful. He is kind and compassionate, but is knowledgeable and highly educated. I am currently going to him for a breast issue. Upon first seeing him, he immediately put my mind at ease and gave me a sense of confidence in his abilities. Although he is out of network for me, he agreed to do the surgery for whatever the insurance would pay....not bc he is in any way lacking patients, but bc he is a devoted practitioner, who is not motivated by money. He came highly recommended by my gynecologist, Dr. Gartner, in wyckoff (who is another gem) and my radiologist. I would highly recommend him.

He took my gallbladder out and I could not have been happier. A very trusted doctor had told me "Go to Dr. Ahlborn, he never has any problems." I believed him and it was the easiest operation I could have ever imagined. He is very professional and treated me with respect. I would recommend him without hesitation.
