J David Abraham's Online Review Report Card

Waiting almost 90 minutes for my appointment

Absolutely the worst doctor!!! He has killed my mother multiple times and should no longer have his license. He has failed 8 times on the same surgery. My mother told him multiple times that her knee is hurting and looks infected he down played it and said it would be fine. Weeks later she ended up in the hospital with a fever and was extremely sick. The infection almost killed her. Honestly a shame to see that they gave this doctor his degree. When clearly he has no idea how to do his job right. Thank you for putting my family through hell for 8 years doctor u did a great job😡🙄

Wonderful doctor! Really takes time to explain every detail. His staff is also very personable. Highly recommended!

Both feet are numb after both knees replaced, after and 2 years later! Think twice before using him!

Tried to see him twice for a second opinion. First time I waited an hour and a half. Second time one hour. Unless you don’t have a job or are retired this practice does not care about your time.

I Had Bilateral Knee replacements by Dr. Abraham and it was a great experience.

I've been going to Ortho NY for 8 yrs now 4 multiple arthritic problems. This past yr has been by far the most painful yr of my life. I began seeing Dr Abraham,8/18- 1 day after receiving injections for extreme bilateral hip pain.He immediately took xrays,& within 20 min told me, I'm a candidate for bilateral THR. I had to wait 3 months b4 surgery,bc of receiving injections.. 2day is 11/8/18. I'm 8 days post op.4 my 1st THR.. I'm in NO pain with my new hip & walking w/ cane. Thx.DR Abraham??

I had an appointment for 1:15 and it was 3:45 and I had not been seen. I think 2:30 hours is a long time to be attended to at a doctors office. 3 other patients had to re-schedule their appointment because of the wait.

Great Dr and staff 5 hip surgeries due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and still walking without pain!

David Abraham repaired a torn rotator cuff, which healed beautifully. He also treats my low back pain and shoulder pain on the other side. He is pleasant, takes time to listen and is an excellent physician.

I have had excellent experience with Dr Abraham. He is always on point and I trust him completely. I had a total hip replacement 5 years ago and have had not one problem after the operation to this day. I am happy Dr Abraham is my doctor.

Dr. Abraham told me in 10 minutes what was wrong, showed me the x-rays and explained my issue. No other MD has been able to tell me anything in 3yrs. Thank God for Dr. Abraham! Granted, I had to wait 2 months to get an initial appt and I lost confidence that any MD could/would help me but once I met Dr. Abraham, that all changed. Very professional, personable, knowledgeable and looked me in the eye when he spoke. I have already recommended him to a family member. Love this MD!

Knowledgeable orthopedic physician who takes time to listen to his patients. Excellent and friendly manner. Receptive to suggestions in addition to offering good advice. My only problem is the wait time. Perhaps that is a problem due to overbooking. I would recommend Dr Abraham to anyone having conditions or problems related to his area of expertise.

Arrived for my scheduled appointment (Made 6 weeks ago) and was told when I arrived that the doctor was running 1-1/2- 2 hours behind. This is the third time this has happened to me with this office. Apparently my time is not important enough to warrant a call to give me an option to cancel & reschedule without having to leave work and lose 2-1/2 hours of pay. I will now change doctor/group as this reoccurring issue is not acceptable. I have waited in the past and the 1-1/2 hours ended up be

During Easter break in 2001 I incurred a sports injury that ruptured my left Achilles tendon. I was visiting family in Saranac Lake, NY (upstate in the Adirondacks), about 600-miles from my home in VA. A quick trip to the local ER confirmed the ruptured tendon. A call was placed to Dr. Abraham from Saranac Lake that evening and surgery was scheduled for 7AM the next morning. I drove from Saranac Lake to Albany, spent the night in Albany and reported to the surgery center promptly at 5:30AM the next morning. Dr. Abraham and his team performed the surgery w/o incident or complication. I was in a hard cast for several weeks, followed by a soft cast and rehab. At the time I did not think I would ever walk normally again. An Achilles injury can take a long time to heal and rehab, but here I am, 14-years later, running and still playing hockey as I approach my 60th birthday. I was treated with respect, care and dignity. I felt that his surgical team was committed to my procedure. The results have stood the test of time. This is the only surgery that I have had performed by Dr. Abraham, so I cannot speak to his skill with other areas of the body, but I would not hesitate to seek him as my surgeon again.

Dr. Abraham replaced both of my knees about eight years ago. After the first one, I told him there was a large amount of slack in the knee that caused the knee to pop in and out of joint with every step. He down-played it, and said it would go away. I asked him to please add a thicker shim in the second surgery to take up the slack. He ignored my request, did the second exactly like the first, and I have had two knees that pop in and out of joint audibly with every step for eight years. I described them as failed surgery to him and he simply rebuffed my comments. I would discourage anyone from having their knee done by Dr. Abraham. I have caused several friends to seek another surgeon over the years.

Very well knowledgeable and very through and professional

Dr. Abraham told me not to come back till I can't stand it. I did not understand exactly what my problem is. I've never been in the waiting room when there were not people complaining that they had been there for more than 2 hours waiting. I went back for a follow-up, first patient of the day, waited 1h 45min and was told, he isn't in the building yet. So I gave up. I see one of his PAs for cortisone shots. He is on time and friendly.
