MATT ABBAS EL-KADI, MD, PHD REVIEWS

Dr. El-Kadi’s reputation, years of experience, surgical expertise and recommendations from our pain management physician led us to choose him to be my husband’s neurosurgeon. He and his physician assistant provided a seamless pre-operative office visit that prepared my husband for an outpatient Lumbar Micro-discectomy for a bulging disc that was causing significant life limiting pain and weakness from hip to toe. We live greater than 2 hours away from UPMC PASSAVANT where the surgery was performed. Our 5 star experience there from check in to checkout reassured us that we were in more than capable hands and the distance travelled was irrelevant. The safety, care, and comfort provided by waiting room attendants, pre and post op nurses, and anesthesia staff did not go unnoticed. All of these professionals support Dr. El-Kadi and allow him to do what he does best. My husband experienced relief of his pain and foot numbness upon awakening in recovery room.

After several months of dealing with increasing back, hip, and leg pain I came to see Dr. El Kadi. He and his Assistant Erin quickly identified the problem, Spinal Stenosis and herniated disc in lower lumbar. Dr El Kadi scheduled surgery for 3/23/22 and moved it up because of a cancellation to 3/10/22. Waking up in recovery I immediately noticed the back , hip and leg pain was almost completely gone. After that the nursing staff took over and gave me some of the best post operative care I ever received. I am so grateful for how compassionate and professional they performed their duties, working tirelessly on long shifts. All the nurses treated me wonderful but I have to mention Katie, Deni, and Nancy in particular. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

At 41, I had a two-level ACDF procedure completed by Dr. El-Kadi in January of 2022. I had numbness in both hands and significant pain in my shoulder, forearm, and hand. Immediately following surgery, all the pain from the compressed nerve was gone. In the six weeks since surgery, I only have minor numbness that has become less and less noticeble as time goes on. I am extremely grateful for the care that Dr. El-Kadi and his staff have provided!!
