    Internal Medicine

    In her free time, Dr. Abraham enjoys running, especially along Lady Bird Lake, hiking, traveling, reading books, and doing beadwork. Among her favorite Central Texas areas are Krause Springs and Jacob’s Well.

I chose Family Medicine because it gives me the opportunity to work with patients of all ages. Family practitioners can play such a pivotal role in improving health in families and communities by becoming a partner and encouraging wellness. I believe that in order to truly help a patient, we need to listen, build trust, and understand not only the patient, but their family as well. My goal is to build good relationships and, through that, encourage good health for all my patients.

    The ease of scheduling, changing, and confirming appointments is a key reason I like managing my health through ARC. Moreover, Dr. Abraham has always been thorough, straightforward, and knowledgeable with an excellent "bed-side" manner. I've been coming here since 2016, and it's consistently improved year to year, which is great to see.

    Today I got sick while waiting for my ride, the staff were outstanding in seeing to my needs and Dr. Merlin was right there to give me meds to get me back to normal.

    Dr Abraham provided a prescription for my cough and discussed my arm pain with me. I like that she listens. She is patient and kindly professional.

    This was my first time meeting with the doctor. I felt very comfortable with her and she helped me read my blood work with a smile on her face.
