Bedside manners were lacking. Demeanor overall more on the side of dismissive.

I feel like he didn’t listen to my concerns about being hypermobile and my shoulder tearing in the accident

Dr. Cadet is always kind and highly professional. He repaired my right torn rotator cuff, and I wouldn’t go to anyone else to look at my left shoulder. Our interactions are always positive, informative, and helpful. His team is also top-notch.
