    I too am a gasltroperisis patient of Dr. Abell's.



    I live in Kenai Alaska and I have traveled to the University of Mississippi Medical Center twice. The first time for a temperary pacer that gave me less than desirable effects and the second time, in 2009, And again had dissappointing results from the temperary pacer, but I still elected to have the perminant pacer implanted.



    This was the best decission of my life. It changed my life.



    Dr. Abell has been .... well, mere words can't describe how awsome he has been. Caring, kind, understanding.....and very very proffessional.
