:) Click to report rating    2/16/10 5 3 5 Dr. Abdullah is very helpful. I asked my child's pediatrician about him and he said that he is absolutely the best! My pediatrician is not related to Mary Bridge in any way. Everyone is friendly and helpful and procedures are explained in detail. I also have opted out of procedures preferring to take a "wait and see" approach and that has been fine also. The dietitian also explains things very well and has given me very useful suggestions on how to get my children's weight up. My only complaint is the time we have to wait between when the nurse weighs the children and the doctor comes in and then between the doctor and the dietitian and then between the dietitian and the nurse coming back in to give us the discharge papers. I am usually at the office for a total of two hours every time (with my two children). In my opinion, it is more important for my children to get the BEST doctor, than for me to choose another doctor based on petty complaints!

:) Click to report rating    3/13/09 1 2 3 Dr. Abdullah isn't awful, he just can't seem to spend time explaining anything to worried parents. I'm not sure he does this on purpose or if it's because the hospital and satellite clinics have him over booked. He was friendly enough and seemed genuinely concerned for our child. His office staff at the satellite clinic we go to however are horrible, unprofessional and rude. We had so many concerns that they refused to acknowledge and would never return calls. This alone would make me choose a different physician.

:( Click to report rating    2/26/09 1 1 1 Horrible. Dr. Abdullah himself wouldn't be so bad if his staff weren't oh so awful. NOBODY will answer your questions, procedures will get scheduled of which you will have no idea what they are, what they're for and no one at their office will explain them to you. Just don't bother. Go somewhere else.

:( Click to report rating    4/5/08 1 1 1 This doctor seems intent on finding something wrong with my son, simply because he's small. He gains weight, but not as much as the growth charts say he should. We've seen dieticians in the office (from whom we've received conflicting advice), have run tests, and haven't found anything wrong, but still, he wants to see us for follow up, after follow up. I believe my son's genetics probably account for his small size. The only thing our appointments have succeeded in doing is making me question my parental instincts. I can not recommend seeing this doctor. On top of all this, I have been double billed for visits and it has taken me months of phone calls to the clinic to get it resolved.

:( Click to report rating    3/16/08 2 4 2 he was determined to diagnose my son with something he doesn't have. we went to the appointments as schedualed and all follow ups. we had many tests preformed and when he desided to do surgery to see if he could see if there was intestinal ulcers (celeacs disease sp?). all other tests were negative and we stopped going to him.
