i have to admit that the first time i met dr. abellera, i was wondering if the referral i got from my aunt was just her way of getting back at me for the crappy christmas gift i got her the year prior...
people always remember their first impression of others. i saw dr. abellera in the hallway writing before i actually MET her in the room with my son. she was quiet, seemed a bit stern, and didn't crack one smile! lol. i was scared. BUT-- was she the BEST pediatrician for my children? ABSOLUTELY. as soon as she went to see my son, she lit up like a christmas tree. she's great with kids, and gives them airplanes all the time with of course, her sugar free lollipops. =) she's very thorough in her physical exams, and when she says she'll get back to you that day (for lab results, etc.) she really does. she doesn't make an MA or an operator call for her. as busy as she is, she finds time. i don't know how she does it!
abellera medical group is one of the busiest clinics in the area, but it's easy to understand why. she is amazing with children, and their families. her staff, no matter how busy, always finds a way to fit your child in, even when there are times that you have to book your check-ups a month and a half in advance. the ladies at the front desk are so sweet, as well as the MA's that assist you to the exam room. i have never had anything to complain about. also, within the last year, i know she brought in a PA to help with the crazy schedule, who is equally as nice and thorough, and we never have a visit where we only see the PA. dr. abellera always pops in even if its just to say hello or comfort my kids who might not be feeling too great that day. as busy as it is, she seems to always want to keep that personal contact and relationship going.
if you want the best for your kids, take them here. (if you can get fit in, lol).
i've heard that she has also recently opened up a spa, which i haven't had time to inquire about, but for any of you interested, give her a call. she knows her stuff! read more
