I never leave review like this, but I feel compelled to warn others from wasting their time and money to visit this doctor. If you suffer from IBS/acid reflux DO NOT VISIT. It was highly recommended by primary care doctor to visit a gastroenterologist given my medical history. However, this appointment Dr. Abergel was completely dismissive of my symptoms. Almost like he didn't think they were worth his time?!? He did not ask about my pain levels and provided less medical care and advise then my primary care doctor. PPI are not intended to use long term and when I asked about herbal/alternative treatment options he mocked me for asking. Instead pushed a different pharmaceutical drug. Told me a dietitian wouldn't be covered on my insurance without knowing anything about my medical history and/org insurance. If I was suffering from "anxiety" he would consider giving me an endoscopy. I am vegetarian and he immediately after told me to eat chicken and rice which is just an example about how this doctor does not listen. AVOID at all costs.
