Dr. Cadet was friendly and attentive. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions. He treated me like a person not a dollar sign. He was patient and polite not at all rushed. I will certainly recommend him to my family and friends.

He makes you feel like he is sincerely concerned in your issue and advises with caution. He performed surgery on my left rotary cuff in 2024 and I feel confident that my upcoming surgery on my right rotary cuff will be a success as well.

Most fantastic surgeon! Not only did the procedure go extremely well, his after-care concerns were above and beyond. He listens to all concerns and responds effectively.
