    Dr Kadakia spent a lot of time explaining the options for care for my mother. She could have surgery or remain in a boot. Dr Kadakia spent a lot of time with us explaining the pros and cons of each choice. You could tell he had researched my mother's case before we came for our appointment, and was well informed. He was kind and patient, taking extra time to ensure my mother (who is elderly and hard of hearing) understood her options. Dr Kadakia is kind and his clinical experience is outstanding- anyone who is his patient is very lucky.
