Dr. Jeffrey S. Abrams

Doctor Specializing in Shoulders

"I have been with POA 35 years. What really comes up often is an individual has given up on themselves and their ability to do something. You need to be able to first listen to the patient and connect with them. Even before you do your exam."
Dr. Abrams
