Dr. Richard Neil Hadley, MD

Ruined my knee and job opportunities.

I am disabled because of a admitted mistake by Dr. Hadley. I agree, he is rude and uncaring. I tell everyone I know to be sure and not go to him. When given his name to see a relative chose a different clinic upon hearing my story. My disablility (caused by the surgery) has caused me my job, my ability to care for grandchildren, entertain in a easy fashion. and even serve my meals. I need help to do tasks I was able to do in the past. I regret having the surgery.

I won't even call Richard Hadley doctor. Run as fast as you can and find a new doctor. He permanently injured me and I now know of 4 other people that he has hurt. If it is a work comp. case for sure seek another doctor, he is in with the insurance co.

I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and stenosis in my lumbar spine. I had seen a Neurosurgeon and he recomended a fusion and surgery to fix the stenosis. Naturally I wanted a second opinion so I got all my dr's notes and MRI images and saw Dr. Hadley. He found out I was there for a second opinion and sat there with his arms crossed and never even went over my MRI with me. He asked what forms of treatment I've already tried and what the previous dr had told me. He then said it was a good idea to try the surgery. Keep in mine he never went through my chart or even looked at my MRI pictures or results..This guy is a total waste of time and brings a bad name to Twin Cities Orthopedics.

I fell and broke both bones off my rt elbow. I did not choose Dr. Hadley he was the emergency rooms choice. I can't tell you how much suffering he has caused me. He sent me back to work when the one bone had not even healed at all. He said I could lift 20lbs and my radius was broken off the elbow. He is a quack. and I have tried to pursue legally this but it is almost impossible. The staff at the clinic knows about his malpractice but I don't know why they can't stop him from harming anymore patients. I have since found out about 3 other people that he hurt. Find another Dr. right away and you won't be sorry.

If you are even thinking of seeing this doctor or are seeing him run as fast as you can. He is in with the insurances co. He should have his license taken away. He can't practice medicine. He hurts alot of people. But the clinic is very good.

I have been disabled for 12 years. after his review of my records and an 8 minute visit his professional opinion was that I was never injured, should never have been rated disabled. Basically all the doctors I have previously seen didn't know what they were doing. When asked why i can no longer feel my left thigh he said that must be something different. What a farce

Dr. Had-been was very rushed and very rude. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. He doesn't listen and doesn't care at all. I wish I would have read his reviews before I went to see him. WASTE OF TIME & MONEY!

Dr. Hadley is RUDE. He is also rushed, uncaring, impatient and arrogant. It seems he is burned-out in the orthopedic field (graduated WAY back in 1974! Yes, he's OLD)and hates his job. (at least the day I saw him he fit all of these descriptions)If you want a physician that takes time and cares about what you have to say (one who will actually ask you more than one or two questions about your situation), I advise you to NOT make an appt. with this boor. Go to someone younger with a fresh outlook in this specialty, OR take your chances...maybe he won't be late for lunch when you have your appt.

i had a ime for my back he made dr's with mental disibilitys look good.. came in spent 5 mins with me and after a year and a half of back pain said i would be ok in 3-6 weeks and to return to full duty. now its been 2 1/2 years and i haven't gotten any releaf.. HE WORKS FOR THE WORKERS COMP PPL NOT THE PATIENT!!!!!!!
