Dr. Quader gave very little of any good advice for my problem. I'm going to seek a second opinion.

Dr.Quader seems to be a good enough doctor but his staff must be terribly overworked. After a procedure, I did not hear from anyone for 3 1/2 weeks even though I left numerous messages. When I finally heard from a nurse- she gave me a diagnoses..and when I had questions she told me I could "Google" it. I had another procedure- stupid me, I know, ..this time I get a text from Walgreens telling me my medicine was ready for pick up. This time..Im thinking its an automated refill. Nope, apparently my last test showed SOMETHING..dont know what.. but Im being treated for it..WITH NO PHONE CALL. Ive left several phone calls again. Needless to say I have areferal for a new doctor. Dr. Quader may be excellent but his office is not.

My Colonoscopy procedure was rescheduled two times by his office because in their words he was 'called out of town'. My wife had to make arrangements twice to take me in because she works weekends and is off different days of the week.. His receptionist's reaction was silence which I took to mean was, so what. Needless to say I found another Doctor that took me right in. I feel that they were stringing me along to not lose a patient. I can get a appointment with the Vet for my dogs same day. I would not recommend this outfit to anyone. Is there a rating for less than 1 star.

Dr. Quadar was suspicious of a very small spot during an exam which turned out to be a rare cancer. It is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. He called me immediately and had already consulted with other doctors. He directed me to all the best care. I feel he is a very knowledgeable and experienced doctor.

I got a quick appointment,because my Dr. helped me get in asap due to the seriousness of my condition.I saw dr.quader and he scheduled a colonoscopy-afterwards he breifly told me what was going on and just to take more laxitives.My condition worsened and I called the office 5x over a week and half period WITH NO CALL BACK EVER!!! I ended up in the hospital by ambulance and Dr.Quader finally made an apperance.He reccomended more laxatives.Im no Dr.,but I know 1-taking laxatives over a period of time is not good,and 2-if you dont have a bowel movment for 5weeks (seriously)something is wrong! Please save your time and do not go to this dr-office staff and dr are very uncarring and unprofessional!
