Dr J. Abraham & staff are the ONLY ones I’d allow to perform hip/knee surgery! Dr.Abraham is a Dr of the past , that actually sits down , next to you to explain everything he’s going to do, he ask if there’s any questions, & tells you you’re free to call the office with any concerns. He wants his patients to feel comfortable going into surgery and especially coming out. I have had both hips and both knees replaced . Most recently, my left knee was replaced two days ago. Is it painful? Yes,It is somewhat painful but it’s surgical pain, it will subside . It’s not anything close to the pain I was dealing with, day in & day out . The pain will go away ! As matter of fact, 2 days post op, pain is already less than it was. I encourage anyone who is about to under go knee/hip surgery , give yourself the gift of , making an appointment with Dr. Abraham! I promise , you will not be sorry !!! Thank you Dr. Abraham, PA Karen Bertassa, & all of Docs staff! They are simply THE BEST !!

Dr. Abraham did my TKR-right in Jan 2025. I just met with him to plan for surgery for my left knee. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone I meet.
