Dr. Bassam Ar Hadi, MD

I gave a 2 because of nurse and office staff. Otherwise would be 0-1. Office staff very helpful and friendly. Dr. Hadi was running an hour behind due to emergency surgery and this was fine, it happens. I did expect it to be late but to get enough time with him. I think I ended up getting about 5 minutes from him after waiting over an hour and then he just dismissed me saying he could not help me. I expected him to go over my symptoms and MRI images with me to show me what was going on. I have examined my MRI images myself along with posting them on several expert forums and everybody said that there is severe stenosis that could be causing all of my symptoms. Oh and I actually had surgery with him in 2014. He did not remember of course, but he was trying to get his practice going and I was good enough for him then, but not now. I have been in agony, unable to work for 2 months due to progressive symptoms including dizziness, numbness in head and face, tingling and pain in… shoulders, arms, fingers, and severe leg spasticity, weakness, numbness. All symptoms that could be from spinal cord compression since all else has been ruled out. He said no problems. Did reflex test, Hoffman sign, no babinsky, did not examine me really or look at my gait. It would show an abnormal gate and off balance. These symptoms progressing along with bladder issues. Did not really allow me to go over all my symptoms. He just saw what he wanted from scan or report, not even sure he looked at scans. I have gone over them and it is obvious that the disc bulges along with some issues on the Ligamentum Flavum on the posterior side are crushing the spinal cord. There is barely any CSF fluid for spinal cord to go through. Any reasonable Dr. could see that this could be causing my issues if they took the time to really look. Also, it is not positional so obviously if I turned my head any way or slept wrong, the compression could increase since there is really no room to roam. I have had 3 consults from surgeons online, all said that they would do surgery, either fusion or disc replacement. Cant quite understand why 3 reputable surgeons would do surgery, but he would not consider it. Believe me I dont want surgery, but I have no quality of life and I know this is the reason. So in summary, really don't waste your time with him. He really does not seem to care about what is going on with the patient, just if he can make some money and I guess I was not profitable enough. Dr. Young in the practice seems to be good. He did my father's surgery with exact same issue as mine and turned out great

I recently had a bad accident and broke my back. I had to have immediate surgery. There was no guaranty that I would walk again. So grateful that Dr. Hadi fixed me and said I would make a full recovery!

This is the kind of Dr. you are hoping for when you go to see someone about something serious. Dr. Hadi and his staff were an exhilarating breath of fresh air in my recently crowded world of way to many Dr. visits due to some unexpected news about my health. Very impressed.

Excellent surgeon. My thoracic spine was rapidly collapsing from a bad fall. Dr. Hadi performed spinal fusion surgery which was an overwhelming success.

Went to see this doctor. Avoid him!! He is a complete jerk and did nothing but tell me how awful my condition is and then told me he can't help me. Thanks a lot!

I was racamended to him becouse i have 5 bad disk in my back. So i went i showed up early and still ended up.waiting an hour and a half in the waiting room then when i got back to see him i waited another hour. All he did was come in shake my hand and said i cant do nothing for you and sent me for pain management. He did not take my vitals take done my history he all he did was dlick his computer my results came up he glaced at it and said theres nothing wrong with you so there is no reason your having pain. I cant bend twist or even walk becouse i hurt so bad i have pain that gos done in my leg i cant sleep do to pain and i throw up alot do to pain i also get shocks that go through me and always makes me fall how is that made up? All he cares about is his money he dont care about anything else i will never go see him again i will drive to Springfield they actually listen to there patients and try to help them the best they can. Horrible sevice anyone could ever get is from docter… hadi...

Terrible doctor, had to wait over 60 minutes after scheduled appointment time. After initial visit he had me do a CT scan when he already had my new MRI. Then saw him again and had to wait an extra 55 minutes past my appointment time. First visit he was nice and the second he wasn't. He then said he could not help me because I had medicaid and he didn't notice my insurance on our first visit. He then pawned me off on a pain doc in his practice that basically booted me because he couldn't write for my meds. The whole process took over six months and I,m still in pain with no help. Avoid him, just wants money and doesn't want to help the less fortunate

Dr.Bassam Hadi,M.D. was available upon my occurrency. My Neck X-Ray showed major damage of broken bones. I needed immediate attention; surgery. Dr. Ha ...

My experience with this surgeon was very nice. I went to him for a second opinion after my original doctor told me I would need surgery right away. This was a shock to me so I went to Dr. Hadi for another opinion. He suggested I get steroid injections and physical therapy before anything invasive. I have had a several injections since then and I feel much better. I am happy I was given more choices that could improve my pain, other than surgery.

Dr. Hadi did surgery on me this summer and I am now pain free. I was debilitated, unable to work or function. My primary doctor recommended him and scheduled my consult. The office busy but pleasant and all my questions were answered. My surgery was scheduled without complication and everything worked out perfectly. I am very happy with my results and would let him operate on me again or my family.
