Awards & Honors

Edward P. Call Jr. M.D. Teaching Excellence Award 2011 from the Depart of Emergency Medicine WSU

I chose my specialty because...

I have my Bachelors in Nursing from Case Western Reserve Univeristy (1994). I worked in critical care as an RN. The physiology of disease and the acuity of the patients is a special interest of mine.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

I have been part of the community since 1996 when I moved to Dayton to go to medical school. The atmosphere, camaraderie and community was and is what we wanted to be a part of as a family.

Dayton Children's is special because...

All we do is take care of kids. I compare a children's hospital in a community to any type of insurance: You HAVE to have it and hope you never need it. If you need it, you're glad it is there. The value isn't appreciated until you need it and it is no longer available...

My personal Interests are...

Health, fitness and traveling

Special Notes

Parent and patient comments

When my son, was taken to children's PICU for the first time, a ton of questions were coming from me in every direction. She calmed me down, sat with me for what felt like an hour and explained everything she could about what was happening to my son. We were there for close to three weeks, and I could not have had a better experience... mainly because of her. The second time around, when we actually received a diagnosis, was hard on me and my family. But with the knowledge, and the compassion this woman had shown to me, was absolutely the best treatment I had ever had. I'm thankful for her care while we were there. And if I ever have to be there again, I hope that she is the Intensivist on call. My family and I love her, and are so thankful for her.

Where to start! An amazing doctor and compassionate woman.

My stepson is an ALL Leukemia patent at Dayton Childrens and he had Dr. Abboud when he was admitted to the PICU. She is an amazing doctor. We felt very confident in the Dayton Children's team and they gave us much hope for my stepson's situation. It brought us a peace to know he was in such capable hands. :) Thank you Dr. Abboud and all the Dayton Children's staff for the wonderful care you take with our children!

Other Notes

Dr. Abboud is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.

The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Dayton Children's is staffed by a group of board-certified/board-eligible pediatric intensivists (physicians specializing in critical care medicine). It is the only intensive care unit in the region with this focus.

The PICU is part of the Wallace Critical Care Complex, which set a new standard of care for the region's critically ill or injured children when it opened in June 2006. Dayton Children's Wallace Critical Care Complex was recently recognized with the 2007 ICU Design Citation Award.
