Dr. Abelev is a true gem of a doctor, and I am not overstating that. He treated me for PCOS and a thyroid nodule that was suspicious for cancer over the course of 2 years going on 3. I always felt that I could bring up all my questions to him at each visit, and he would respond with empathy. He discovered my nodule at my first visit with him and immediately started helping me manage it, especially when it became clear that it was suspicious for cancer. It is clear in the way that he speaks that he has a lot of knowledge and knows how to disseminate it. He is genuine about getting you the treatment you need, and is willing to advocate for you. He no longer works at a health center that is close to me, but if he did, there is no doubt in my mind that I would continue seeing him for many years.
