About Me
I'm Nurelign Abebe, MD, and I joined Phelps Health as a nephrologist in 2017. I earned my medical degree from Gondar College of Medical Sciences in Ethiopia. I completed my residency training in internal medicine through Addis Ababa University at Black Lion Hospital in Ethiopia. I also completed a residency program in internal medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Additionally, I completed a nephrology fellowship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital through Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to working as a nephrologist, I was previously employed by Phelps Health from 2011-2015 as a hospitalist. My special interests include kidney diseases and dialysis.
I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.

What our patients are saying (Verified reviews from real patients)
You all are just so nice and pleasant and treats everyone good. The doctor is so kind and understanding and very very intelligent and cares about his patients,
Prompt, caring.
After seeing the Dr it was bad, I had to walk so far down the halls and finally a lady behind her desk asked if I wanted a wheelchair, I told her yes she took me to Quest to get blood taken, the woman that was there didn't Polk the needle where I told her and she said oh it turned purple, then was going to stick it in my hand, so she ask another very nice girl and she did a great job!!' I was there a total of two and half hours!!
Excellent!!!
Dr seemed a little pressured for time but he was helpful as always and congial!
Finally found a doctor that really took the time to figure out the reason why.i was very happy that he knew what was causing my problems and also knew what should be done to correct it. Thank ou very much for caring.

Dr.Abebe has great professionalism, excellent bedside manner, explains very well, & cares about each individual patient. His office nurse is excellent too. Grateful they travel far to come to Waynesville.
I think y'all did a good job and you did okay. All right.
MD covered the pathophysiology very well and gave us clear directions forward. MD also reminded us of our right to participate or not participate as we chose.
It can b difficult to understand what the care provider is saying to the patient when they have their back turned toward you & speaking toward the computer. You also miss eye contact & facial expressions
Dr Abebe is the best
I had just a little trouble understanding Dr. Abebes accent, but I think we were able to communicate fairly well.

The staff was professional and caring!
Waited about 45 minutes for the telehealth conference, and then about 40 minutes afterwards.
From start to finish, this team made me feel seen and heard. They all work well together to accommodate and give the best care. The nurse is very encouraging. She listens and finds the positive. Dr. Abbe is good about looking at the whole person. I would recommend this team to anyone who needs kidney care.

Keep up the good work
It was a pleasure to meet DR. Abebe. he introduced himself as soon as he walked in as well as his student shadow. He asked me about myself. We went over my previous test results. He explained everything that was going on with me and how we're going to take care of it now and in the future. I felt he was a very warm, welcoming, and a kind doctor with a fabulous personality. I was at immediate ease. I think we clicked. That's very important to me. I will continue to see him in the future. In that short amount of time, I immediately trusted him and love his confidence. Thank you
