Dr Abbate bugged excellent medical care. Dr. Abbate asks open ended questions, listens, seeks clarification, and hears me. Dr Abbate is truly a humongous asset to Vanderbilt.

Dr. Abbate does a really great job of making you feel like you are the only patient he has when he walks into the exam room. We catch up on what's going on with my overall health, have a recap of the last visit, a discussion of any issues or concerns that I have related to this visit and then a final talk regarding treatments, medication or tests that he is recommending. Easy to talk to and always listens to what I have to say. I never feel rushed.
