Dr. Nimish Raj Kadakia, MD

NIGHTMARE. Worst Dr you could possibly ask for. Terrible experience. It’s been almost 7 months with hip pain and being treated like trash. When you are the one who asks questions on your first visit instead of the Dr. It is a big red flag… then You tell the Dr that your hip pain is excruciating and he says the problem must be the lower back. After 1 month of severe pain problem persists. After miss diagnoses and injecting cortisone where you DID NOT NEED IT the nightmare still goes on. Still in pain and you are the one who needs to bag for the Dr to request a MRI, which took almost another month to send the request it to the insurance. Finally the results come and… he goes SORRY you have a Labrum tear… you need another injection… and it keep going. Then you want to see a different DR and the Clinis SCOS denies it. They turn their back on you with NO REMORSE. NIGHTMARE is not over yet and you are held hostage by these people. DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR.

I think Dr. Kadakia is an impeccable orthopaedic surgeon. Took care of me on Easter with emergency surgery after a bad accident. His bedside manner and course of ongoing treatment with recommendations make me trust him without question. You’re not just another broken bone with this man. You’re a person with questions and sometimes anxieties—he gets that and treats you accordingly.

Feedback from care

My network referred Dr. Kadakia. Straight forward conversation about my surgery need good to hear. His advice taken and surgery and care was exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. K.

Dr. Kadakia was and has been very thorough with my condition. He pays attention to my concerns and needs and advises me on the best steps for my healing process. I felt totally confident with his skills. He is a skilled surgeon and only wants the best for his patients in order to thrive and stay healthy.

I found him kind of by mistake I was getting a bunch of runaround with other doctors they really didn’t want to treat the condition they just wanted to give me excuses you’re getting old you got arthritis you got this you got that. Dr. Kadakia , I have found him to be a very honest doctor that will tell you exactly what your problem is and ask you how you want to address it and what your options are. He’s a no nonsense doctor gets right to the point and I really love that about him. He was originally over off of Brookhurst then he moved to Irvine off of odyssey and I actually followed him and as long as I can have him as my orthopedic doctor I will.

He explained everything that was going on in my elbow ! I knew more from his visit then my other doctors!

Dr. Kadakia is, first & foremost, a skilled surgeon. I've had 3 surgeries (shoulder and both knees) with him. Beyond that, the thing that makes a doctor worth mentioning is the way in which the office is run, the way he treats you and the time and willingness he takes to explain things and answer questions. In all of these areas I'm more than pleased. Appointments are on time, the staff is courteous and professional and Dr. Kadakia makes me feel like he cares about me and my problems. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Kadakia and the SCOS team are great. I have urgent care requiring the Orthopedics attention with short notice. The appt team was flexible to get me in for the exam. The wait is short, with professional office staffs. The examination went well with treatment and attention. Im pleased with Dr. Kadakia attention and office staffs.

I thought I was in a puppy mill. He came in, look at the computer, had my cast change then left within 20 seconds. Didn't even tell me much on how to care for my injury or how long it will take to heal. I also got charged $25 for writing a temp disability plackard--when I asked. If I wasn't in a hurry to get treatment, I would never have picked this doctor.

I shattered my femur & woke up in ER with Dr. Kadakia standing over me. Approx 2.5" of my femur was shattered & gone. Through 6 surgeries, Dr Kadakia put me back together. I cant say it wasnt painful, a titanium rod inserted down through your remaining femur is always unpleasant! But, due to his expertise (&lots of PT) I now teach yoga! And, his kindness & compassionate bedside manner is so important when your well being is in his hands. I recommend him to everyone.

Amazing doctor and staff. Highly recommend!

Very professional, thorough.

After a fall, I was referred to Dr. Kadakia by Hoag Hosptial Emergency Room. He fit me in within 48 hours, and immediately scheduled me for surgery after shattering my elbow. I was out of the hospital the following day and heading for physical therapy ten days later. It has been 5 weeks and I have almost full range and little scaring. He did a great job and I am very appreciative of his talent and expertise.

Listens and is actually interested in helping you, the patient...very rare these days.
