I have been to her twice and absolutely LOVE her. I did not feel her as stand offish at all. As a matter of fact my husband had a 7 hour visit at T he Villages ER last Monday night due to sudden spike in blood pressure. He had seen a goofy doctor at Leesburg Family Medicine a couple of times. I called that office monday afternoon about the high blood pressure and was rudely told I'd have to take him to an ER as they were about to close! We went to the ER, was treated pretty quickly but did not get to see a doctor until 10 pm at which time the meds had reduced his BP so after a couple of tests he was sent home at midnight and told to see his primary within 3 days. His BP was too high again the next morning and I called his doctor and explained the situation and was told, rudely again, that he could NOT see a doctor for a week! I had an appointment with Dr Abrantes on Wed morning so asked her if she could possibly see my husband. She said, "can you get him here in 2 hours"? I did and although he wasn't keen on seeing a female doctor, she quickly "won him over", gave him meds to control the pressure and has scheduled several tests to try to find out what is causing the spikes! When I called Leesburg Family back to cancel his appointment in April, I told them we had found a new primary doctor and the receptionist giggled and said FINE! I think you'll like Dr Abrantes very much.
