Dr. Cadet has been amazing to work with. Personable and professional! ChatGPT rated him number 1 for ACL reconstruction surgery and I’m here to tell you, it didn’t lie!

I had a long wait- over an hour! I don’t believe it was the doctors fault, I think someone else must have made a mistake. I was sat in an exam room by a tech and sat there quite a while. Then another tech came in and said he was changing my room, that I was in an urgent care room - although I had an appointment- and he would let Dr Cadet know. I assume he had probably gone to the next patients by then. All that just theories, I can’t imagine he was that far behind, esp with me being in an incorrect room. Dr was great.

Dr. Cadet did an excellent job with my surgery. I had been experiencing shoulder and arm issues for more than six months and was receiving care at Cary Orthopedic without any improvement. When I went to Raleigh Ortho, the doctors and nurses quickly identified the problem through an MRI and proceeded with the necessary surgery right away. Their thoroughness and efficiency made all the difference, and I am truly grateful for their care.

His demeanor has drastically changed since my first encounter with him back in 2021. Back then he was extremely rushed and lacked any compassion for my pain. However on my visit on (09/02/26) his attitude and demeanor has changed for a better Physican. When I heard his name as my provider I was extremely concerned However he's like a new Physican actually caring about his assigned patients as being a person experiencing alot of discomfort and pain.
