    Dr Abando is an excellent surgeon with amazing bedside manner. My first experience with him he literally saved my life. Each experience since has been wonderful. My older son sees him as well for abdominal issues and loves him just as much and I refer him to every friend I have needing some kind of abdominal surgery. His staff are kind and efficient. I highly suggest using him.
