Dr Abraham has been the best podiatrist that I have gone to . He answers all my questions and explains everything thoroughly.
Great
He is very thorough and concise. Will allow for the patient to become comfortable prior to a procedure while explaining each step.
Great experience!! Able to get in the same day. Easy online scheduling. Quick diagnosis. Dr Abraham’s nurse wrapped my ankle and fitted me with a CamBoot which immediately supported my ankle and allowed me to ambulate with minimal pain. No waiting. All X-rays taken at time of visit. Would highly recommend.
Professional
Dr. Abraham is outstanding. Ver informative and very caring of his patients.
Very compassionate doctor. Listened to my issues and my feet feel great now!!
Dr. Abraham is so knowledgeable and helped find my problem after 3 other foot Dr.s misdiagnosed me and couldn't help me . He is always upbeat and looks for solutions rather then looking straight to surgery .
Very professional, explained options and process.
Dr. Abraham is very gentle when clipping my nails. He’s kind and friendly
Doc spent time explaining the problem and taking care of my Moms feet.
Quick, efficient, knowledgeable and very kind.
Dr. Abraham is very professional and kind. He takes his time to listen most importantly so he can help you!
Great experience, very good doctor and team. He has great knowledge. Thanks so much agian.
When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and were immediately taken to the examination room . The Doctor arrived in a timely fashion and took care of the reason we were there . Everyone was very professional.
Excellent! Very easy to talk to…
Everyone is very kind and professional
Our very first visit, Dr Abraham treated my adult special needs daughter with care & spoke to her with compassion. I highly recommend him and will return when need be.
I had my toenails trimmed and growth cut from my toes..
This was the first time my wife was at your clinic and she felt very comfortable. My wife was in a wheelchair and everyone went out of their way to make her appointment very easy from opening the front door to making her comfortable in the doctors office.
Great! Dr. Abraham presented all the options available to me, and then we discussed the best solution for me. Dr. Abraham and his staff were all easy to talk to and welcoming.
My experience going to see Dr. Abraham was the best! I went to his office after my first experience with a previous podiatrist was horrible! After doing some research online, I found Chicagoland Foot and Ankle through the in-network of my insurance. He took the time, the patience to explain my foot pain and what was going on. He made the whole going to the doctor pleasant and listened to my concerns. He and his staff were also kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. Since my first visit with him, my foot feels like it is on the mend to recovery. I would recommend anyone to see Dr. Abraham. If you want a correct diagnosis with a thorough explanation and illustration of your affliction, then I would recommend going to see him.
Was able to get in to see someone within a day of my injury, …on a weekend! From the person who booked my appt, to the receptionist, to Dr Abraham, to the tech who wrapped my leg at the end,… my care was excellent. Dr Abraham listened. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and thorough in his examination and explanations. The visit was efficient, but did not feel rushed. They have a site closer to my home to follow up at, and since the sites are on the same system, there shouldn’t be any delay in care due to trying to find my imaging results or records. I would highly recommend Dr Abraham and his group to a friend or family member. (I visited the orland park office)
I always have a good experience at Chicagoland Foot and Ankle. Quick, courteous, professional.
The staff was very helpful and kind.
Great doctor and staff!
Very pleased..
My Mom and I always have an excellent experience when we have a visit with Dr. Abraham.
Highly recommend, Dr. Abraham and staff took great care of me.
