Dr. Abdul-Jabbar seeks to provide individualized care to each of his patients, which is increasingly important with the wide variety of treatment options available. Each person comes into a spinal consultation with a unique constellation of personal, physical and medical backgrounds. Dr. Abdul-Jabbar will work to integrate all of these considerations in helping patients achieve their health-care goals. His personal interests include cycling, yoga and camping. Dr. Abdul-Jabbar uses the Swedish Digital Surgical Journey to guide his practice and maintain consistent communication with his patients throughout their care. This includes offering virtual visits to patients, timely access to information, and interactive messages, check-ins, and reminders, allowing patients to become custodians of their own care.
