5.0 star star star star starDr. Kadakia is very blessed to be so skilled, caring and truthful. He tells you like it is and tells you he'll do his best. He explains exactly what needs to be done. Wish I could have gone to him when the 1st ankle joint failed. Because he would have done the revision properly at that point. Instead he had to go in a fix a disaster. So now he gets to finish fixing the mess he was handed. I feel confident in his skilled hands.

5.0 star star star star starI really liked him because he was honest straight out. He didn't think I'd just go in there and do surgery on my foot. He saw another problem and thought of doing all at the same time instead of just the issue he can repair a doctor like that it was sometimes we need a set of the patient that could suffer twice.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kadakia was a literal God send. Due to a genetic condition I had extreme bilateral foot deformities with multiple surgeries in the past that were attempts to fix the issue. I was at a point where I had developing ulcers on both feet and was reaching a point where amputation of either foot was becoming more of a possibility with each ulceration. I had seen several specialists in Wisconsin who did not instill confidence or really have adequate experience with such complicated foot and ankle issues. I thought my only option was some how attempt coordinate seeing the only specialist I knew of in California. That's when I found an instagram post for a foot and ankle MD- #ankl_man. I took a chance and messaged him on instagram with some of my x-rays and some background info asking if he knew of anyone in my area that could help me or if he could himself. I didn't think he would respond to my message, but to my surprise he did. Not only did he say he could help me if I wants to come to Chicago, but was humble enough to also provide a list of people in my state that had the experience to possibly help. It was that message and the confidence( not arrogance)/ care that he showed during my first appointment that solidified he was the guy. He and his team( who are amazing) helped coordinate with my insurance, helped give tips on how to make travel from Milwaukee with Chicago traffic easier, answered questions or concerns promptly, just all around like the best I could go on and on. Dr. Kadakia is nothing but the best.
