HPV: Oral Cancer Facts

February 9, 2020HPV, Oral CancerHPV and Oral Cancer

HPV oral and oropharyngeal cancers are harder to discover than tobacco related cancers because the symptoms are not always obvious to the individual who is developing the disease, or to professionals that are looking for it. They can be very subtle and painless. A dentist or doctor should evaluate any symptoms that you are concerned…

I want to take a moment to express a few things. I have had a WONDERFUL experience with Dr. Abbadessa and his office staff and nurses. I want to shout out specifically to Monique, she is AWESOME. To be honest, I think those nurses have the patience of angels. I have read some of these negative review experiences and all I can think of is that they waited way too long, in pain and then expected a fast cure all treatment the first time. It's human nature to NOT WANT to go to a proctologist, let's all agree, it is NOT a fun time. But most people live in pain for months or years, try "over the counter" remedies and then when they have to spend money or go for multiple treatments, they lash out with negative reviews. Waiting too long causes other issues that would have to be addressed and the Dr. and staff address the WHOLE patient, not just the painful area. One review said he went for a 3rd opinion...did he not like what the first TWO had to say? I understand a second opinion, but did that first doctor ALSO get such a negative review? How much time was there between visits and did each doctor also give treatments? So much not said. And so many of these issues, billing specifically, could be addressed on the phone, through the insurance company or in person. Let's all agree too that the insurance industry isn't the easiest to work with, it's not the office's fault insurance is difficult. I just needed to take a minute and share my POSITIVE experience with Dr. Abbadessa and hope that all of the other positive reviews are considered worth reading as well. If I could give this office 10 stars, I would. We tend to only complain and put our energy there and forget to compliment and praise. That is what this review is for. I am very happy to have a positive relationship with this office and doctor, and while it is an embarrassing health matter, it's a very important one to address and NOT avoid or prolong treatment for. Thank you!

Dr. Abbadessa and his staff are absolute heroes! During the peak of the pandemic, when finding a surgeon felt impossible, they stepped in and cared for my mom with exceptional skill and unwavering compassion. They took the time to explain every step of the process, always answered our questions patiently, and never made us feel alone. Their dedication went beyond the operating room; their warm smiles and genuine concern made an incredibly stressful time bearable. When I faced a similar issue earlier this year, there was no doubt in my mind who to call. Dr. Abbadessa's expertise, combined with his genuine care for his patients, is truly remarkable. If you're looking for a surgeon who puts your well-being first, look no further than Dr. Abbadessa and his amazing team. They are not just medical professionals; they are beacons of hope and support

while I was away from home at work I had a flare up and from the first phone call to leaving after the procedure was a first class experience. Everyone was helpful! Medical staff spent time answering a ton of question as did the Doctor. Dr Abbadessa is very experienced and as a result, I feel better than ever. Thank you.

Dr. Abbadessa and his staff are incredible friendly. Visiting with Dr. Abbadessa felt more like a conversation. He took time to involve me in the decision making process and took my schedule into consideration when making treatment plans. I would recommend him time and time again.

UPDATE 12/9/2021:I have been treated by Dr Steve for the last year, multiple office visits. I stand 100% by my initial review and impressions. I don't like to publicly admit that I have suffered from hemorrhoids much of my life, but if it helps you get the best treatment I am willing to suffer the humiliation. Haha 😁. Do yourself a big favor, and if you suffer from hemorrhoids or other problems with your rear end, go see Dr Steve. I wish I had found him years back. He's a super knowledgeable specialist, his office staff is accommodating and they are all very nice people.INITIAL REVIEW:Add me to the list of 5 star reviews. Over the past 20 years I experienced several severe bouts with hemorrhoids. I share this in a public forum not to gain your respect and admiration, but because you might be suffering right now. I had several trips to the emergency room and other doctors in past desperate attempts to get relief from the pain. Nothing really worked.This time I was determined to find a doctor who had an expertise and extensive experience in treating hemorrhoids. I was willing to travel out of state if necessary! After extensive research, I found Dr. Steven Abbadessa. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids I understand your pain, and I understand how difficult it can be to find expert care. But trust me, it is worth it.Dr. Abbadessa treated me in his office one week ago today, and I am already noticing how much better I feel. He and his office staff are very nice and professional. They genuinely care and I am thankful. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids, do yourself a big favor and go see Dr. Abbadessa.

Dr. Abbadessa and his staff are extremely nice and professional. Dr. Abbadessa is extremely through and his procedures work. So glad I choose him again to deal with my hemorrhoid problems. I don't think you will find a better colorectal doctor than Dr. Abbadessa.

I deal with doctors on a daily basis in my job. In 33 years I have interacted with over 2,000 doctors in every field immaginable. Dr. Abbadessa was as thorough, kind, friendly and qualified as any I have met. He explained everything, made an uncomfortable situation much better and (most importantly) is getting me better. His staff was just as wonderful!

Went there for the first time today to treat a fairly bad case of hemroids. I was happy to see a specialist but not thrilled about the process. Dr. Abbadessa and his staff did everything to make me feel welcome and relaxed. Treatment was smooth and discomfort was minimal. I would recommend this office to anyone.

Thanks for the new gasket Doc! They took great care of me and were very professional. Considering the circumstances, it was as good an experience as it could've been. I had it pretty bad and required surgery, which only took about 20 minutes. Post OP pain was minimal and life is certainly better.

5 stars all day! No questions. Can’t express how happy I’ve been with Mr Abbadessa and of course everyone else that works here. This is literally my first time even writing a review for anything online. But I’m gladly willing to take this time to thank them and also let whoever else that sees this and is wondering about where to go for the type of service they offer. You don’t have to look anywhere else! I’ve seen 4 doctors before I met Dr Abbadessa and all of them failed to help me even a little bit! But they day I met Dr Abbadessa he told me that he would fix me and he wasn’t joking even a little! I LOVE everyone that works here and I am soooo grateful for each and every one of them. You guys changed my life forever and I’m beyond happy! Thank you so much!

I've nicknamed Dr. Abbadessa, Dr. Abra Kadabra...What he has done for me personally, is nothing short of a miracle.His office staff is amazing, attentive, personable, professional, and above all, down to earth.To be honest, there are area's of your body, that are way to embarrassing, and personal to deal with. However, this is the business these Wonderful folks are in, and they remove all of the unknowns, all of the awkwardness, and restore and instill confidence once again...

"One hell of a doctor"... Excellent surgeon. I had a large anal abscess. The doctor said it was the size of a baseball sliced in half. The pain was unbearable. I selected Dr. "A" based on reviews & contacted them late in the afternoon. He agreed to see me the next day even though it was his appointment free day. I had surgery the following day. What a relief. I had a hardtime coping with the pain anymore. Surgery went great. He takes care of business. The best doctor I have ever had an experience with. He really cares about your health & wellbeing. Very pleasant/nice, super friendly to deal/work with & explains everything you need to know beforehand. My experience was the best. Excellent Staff... everyone there is so helpful & nice. It's hard to put into words how wonderful he is. I really like Dr. "A". Thanks so very much for fixing me up & taking such good care of me. Your the best, so greatful to have you as my doc.

Dr. Abbadessa I wanna thank you for making feel so comfortable during, and leasing up to the procedure. I was in terrible pain for months. I called other Dr and went to the er main if times. Everyone said they couldn't help me. I called and left a message at Dr Abbadessa office. They called me back very quickly and it surprised me because the last was very concerned. She got me in right away and the next day I was getting the procedure done. Thank you dr. I don't think 5 stars is enough for you.

As others have stated this is a very knowledgeable doctor, and let's be real when it comes to our rears we need a intelligent non watered down physician to treat us , i like that i have the same nurse with his practice for years this is helpful. When i hid my being sick for around 2 weeks due to the loss of somone very special to me Dr. A fitted me in the same day i called his staff kept calling, checking and seeing had the symptoms improved. Colon cancer is a silent killer and i wouldn't trust anyone else to stabilize me .

I have had issues on and off for quite some time. I was referred to Dr Abbadessa by another doctor. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. I have taken his advise and it has been life changing. I am no longer in pain and now my hemorrhoids are not an issue. never thought I would say this, I now have a butt doctor.

During the course of several procedures I had with Dr. Abbadessa, I experienced nothing but consummate professionalism and a bedside manner that encompassed compassion, dignity, and understanding. Its refreshing to be able to speak so highly of a physician and his staff. Along with the personnel, the exam, procedure, and waiting rooms are all immaculate and welcoming in their decor as well as up to date with equipment and technology. Not only did Dr. Abbadessa fully explain the details of my my condition, he listened to my concerns and addressed them fully. I would recommend his practice to anyone that is in need the services he offers.

Wonderful staff and Dr. Abadessa has the best bed side manner in a field where almost everything is awkward. My husband went first recommended by our primary, after hearing his relief I went to take care of some hemoroids from giving birth. Four visits later and my bottom is all good:-)
