Dr. Hikmat Abbas El-Kadi, MD

Get another surgeon, alternative opinion. He perfumed a lumbar fusion, woke up in more pain which has persisted than before surgery. Because of his error in judgement I’m looking at a very bleak future. He’ll N EVER ADMIT HIS WRONG DOING, ERROR. Needs to hang it up.

Very cordial, doesn’t listen or hear the patient. Performed a lower back fusion on me. I woke up after the surgery at a 50% higher pain level. He never conceded his error in judgement. I’ve since needed 3 additional fusion surgeries bc of his error, live in chronic pain for the remainder of my life due to nerve damage. Use another surgeon.

Significant left Hip,left leg pain and left leg numb. Duration of symptoms over ten years. Office visit brief. Surgeon clearly explained diagnosis, options, recommendations, expected outcome, recovery schedule, and complications. Surgery outcome significantly more successful than surgeon's initial prognosis.

The doctor removed a mass from my spine over 2 years ago and I haven't had a problem since!!

Before surgery I was almost wheelchair bound and now I am back to almost all normal activities.

Dr. El-Kadi and his staff are remarkable and very attentive. Recommend him to all my friends and I give them his business cards. Lost 40lbs and working out every day. I would not be able to do that prior to surgery!

Emergency back surgery in Nov 2017 L3-4. Arrived at Dr. El-Kadis satellite office in Greenville Pa in 10 of 10 pain on a Friday morning. He examined my records, saw the pain and the problem and opened a room at Passavant-McCandless. He then proceeded to change his weekend plans and operate on Saturday morning. I honestly believe I couldn't have made it through another night. He is ALL business and really had his game face on when he arrived at surgery prep. is nurses and staff at Passavant-all A+!!

I underwent lumbar surgery 16 days ago and I am 100% improved, its wonderful, I have no pain, it made a huge difference in my life, back to the life I had. Excellent experience from preop to going home. PAs in the hospital were great, very informative. Everything was explained very well. Its fantastic.

I underwent a lumbar fusion 17 days ago with Dr. El-Kadi. Overall, my low back and leg pain and numbness have improved since surgery.

Absolutely fantastic, surgeon! I highly recommend him. He performed a lumbar microdiscectomy on my L5 - S1. I have been living in pain for the last 16 months and am now 100% pain free. He is a very professional, skilled surgeon who is also polite and has a good sense of humor. He and his staff are also very organized and thorough with providing all the necessary information regarding the procedure and instructions for surgery. Thank you Dr. El-Kadi and staff!!
