Dr Ed, has been the Pediatrician of my two daughters since they were born. Now they are 9 and 7. I have no words to describe his empathy and professional approach and most of all he has a magic way to connect with children (my girls love to go to see him). He is simply my lifesaver, the best Pediatrician! I highly recommend.

Dr Ed is always clear and concise in his explanations while at the same time giving my son time to acclimatise to the appointment. He is extremely knowledgable, caring and thorough. Wouldn’t go to anyone else if I could help it!

I love Dr Ed. He has such a brilliant and natural way with children. Makes it fun and relaxed (as is possible). And of course great knowledge. It’s always a pleasure to see him in spite of circumstances!

We had the good fortune of being Dr Ed’s patients: not only his incredible knowledgeability and close monitoring of our girl’s condition — far beyond official appointments — was exceptional, but also his genuine care and empathy for our entire family were something I’ll be thankful to him my entire life.

My son is almost 3 year old and usually doesn’t allow doctors to examine him. He feels comfortable and secure with Doctor Abrahamson. He is very professional and friendly with a noticiable wide experience in medicine.

Dr Ed Abrahamson, has been amazing. His patience, understanding and ability to read the situation with my child has made us have break throughs that have been really meaningful. We are very grateful for his passionate, understanding and honesty.

I was very happy to bring my daughter to Dr Ed. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, observant, reasonable, trustworthy. He has been always explaining all the details about my daughter's health and his medical recommendations. Dr Ed is very attentive to early signs of potential health issues. It was very early that he diagnosed some symptoms of a chronic illness in my daughter that could have caused her lots of problems permanently. The fact that he saw it way in advance, and prescribed very precise and gentle treatment, helped my daughter to overcome a chronic condition. Dr Ed is also very kind and sensitive to children. My daughter loves visiting him. Myself, I enjoy so much seeing his interaction with her, and feel I can trust her health to his professional vision
