Jerome Abrams Sees Each Patient As a Whole Person

Abrams is a Delaware physician who gets to know his patients.

 
Jerome Abrams has enjoyed a long and successful career in medicine. And he says that one of the things that has made him so effective is that he sees his patients as more than simply a collection of symptoms and medical conditions.

His approach to treatment is in the vanguard of medical trends, which in recent years has moved away from the paternalistic role of a doctor toward a patient. And it has won Dr Jerry Abrams a lot of respect within the medical community and the community at large: Jerome Abrams was recognized by Bayhealth Medical Center for his thirty years of membership on its active medical staff, and voted one of the best physicians in Kent County in the First State Favorites 2014 edition of the Dover Post.

Getting past the old doctor-patient model is the best way to help his patients, Jerome Abrams believes. "Each person is unique," he says, "and I endeavor to find out as much as I can about what makes them unique. I want to find out who they are – in their family, community, relationships, in their timeline." In this way, he says that he can help each patient make informed decisions about their health and well being, and the best treatment options before them. "I can encourage them to take steps to maintain and improve their health, and when problems do arrive, I want to be a valuable resource in developing a plan for diagnosis and treatment."

Jerome Abrams believes that patients often feel more secure and confident in him when they know a little about his life, too. And while he doesn't hesitate to share personal information, such as his great pride in his three adult sons, he is sure that the focus remains on the patient.

It is often useful to sit down during and establish eye contact during an examination. It can be hard to understand that this is a relatively recent development in the doctor-patient relationship; just a few decades ago doctors were taught to remain detached and aloof.

Jerome Abrams makes it a point to listen to everything that a patient has to say and not interrupt, and he likes to ask follow-up questions to elicit as much information about the patient as he can. "By demonstrating a sincere interest in my patients and a desire to help them, I seek to gain their respect and trust." In this manner he has worked together with his patients to keep them well, and get them healthy again when they do become ill.
