:) Click to report rating    1/20/10 2 3 3 I was a patient for about 2 years. First time I talked to him he was very nice,helpfull and professional. I have seen him once or twice since then . When I call to make an appointment he is not there always somebody else and the few times I did see him seemed very rushed and too bussy to spend more then few minutes with me not enough time to discuss some of my concerns.I felt like I didn't have a family DR. Had few things to follow up on was told the office will call when the time comes -never happened.He is a good Dr but never there when you need him and when he is there all those people who tried to get an appointment with him while he was away storm the office and he is rushed so the quality of his work suffers. Maybe a better schedule ??? Felt like a walk in clinic not a family Dr. Staff-not friendly at all.

:) Click to report rating    12/10/09 2 5 5 He is a very knowledgeable doctor. The hardest part is trying to get to see him in a timely manor. The office is quite busy and the office reception keeps you on hold for sometimes up to 20 mins.

:( Click to report rating    9/29/09 3 3 2 Had to leave him after several unsuccessful short diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately did not get stuck to him. It did not work at all. Glad to keep options open and be well treated by other good GPs and Specialists.

:)   *  4/1/09 3 5 5 Dr. Cadesky has been my regular GP for two years and my experiences with him have been very good. He always asks me a lot of questions before making a diagnosis and is happy to answer all of my questions. On our first appointment, he was able to diagnose an ailment that had been plaguing me for months. Many other GPs and specialists were unable to diagnose it - he asked more questions than anyone else, and his diagnosis was the only one that lead to successful treatment. I have stuck with him ever since. He also asks if there is anything else that I am concerned about in addition to my primary reason for the visit, and he has always listened and patiently attended to any other concern that I have.

:( Click to report rating *  2/6/09 3 3 1 Ignored my concerns, constantly looking at computer, unable to listen. He seemed to be in a hurry the whole time. I felt rushed. My visit was less than 3 minutes, and I wasn't just having a flu. Really bad. Enough said.

:( Click to report rating *  2/3/09 1 5 1 I had to ask Dr. Cadesky to change his gloves before he gave me an internal examination after I gave birth. He was about to look at my perineal tearing when he had to step out of the room. He opened and closed the clinic door twice with his gloves on, and then began to sit down and start the examination. I was shocked, but very worried about additional infection so I asked him politely to change his gloves. He was quite indignant and defensive with me. My husband was in the room for this exchange and was also shocked.

:(   *  1/17/09 3 2 1 Dr. Cadesky was recommended to me by a friend. However, I feel that he did not live up to his recommendation as a competent and knowledgeable doctor. He constantly had to refer to his laptop in order to answer my medical questions, even basic ones. I found this very discouraging and made me question his competence. On top of all this, he seemed uncompassionate and disinterested. I would never feel comfortable referring anyone to Dr. Cadesky.

:)   *  8/18/08 3 5 5 I find Dr. Cadesky to be very kind and compassionate. His thoroughness and willingness to explain his diagnosis to me is excellent. He's not going to rush you out the door if you're concerned, confused, or emotional.

:) Click to report rating    5/8/08 5 4 5 My first visit to Dr. Cadesky today was excellent. I didn't have to wait too long either. He was very patient and attentive with my problems and promptly responded to my problems with concern. I've had a bad series of experiences with doctors in the past few months but I can honestly say that Dr. Cadesky hasexcellent character and is medically knowledgeable.

:) Click to report rating    4/24/08 5 5 5 I like dr. Cadesky. He is our family doctor, and maybe in some occasions he might not seems to be very sensitive - he is very knowable. I have check his credentials and they are very impressive. He finished his degree at McGill University - that's probably one of the world best medical schools. He speaks French, Spanish and English (that I observed). I find that his a good medical knowledge is more important then his not as well developed medical skills. He will learn his people skills in time. I hope you find this comment useful.

:( Click to report rating    4/4/08 5 5 2 He seemed good at first but just dosent 'get it'. Has said on my insurance forms im able to do light duties when i need help putting on my socks in the AM. seen him all winter and still i cant go to work and a updated form said medium duties!!! I cant even touch my toes!! Im starting to look again for a competent Dr. who knows how to fill out forms to help his patients. I actually found him here!. Just my opinion. Why are we legally liable when this forum is supposto be impartial.

:( Click to report rating *  2/2/08 5 4 1 Both my wife and I found Doctor Cadesky to be abrupt, rude bordering arrogant and a little bit strange. Have changed Doctors and glad to have done so. Not a good overall impression at all!!! Dr. Cadesky lacks Emotional Intelligence and needs to improve on that if he wants to keep patients from fleeing. The receptionists were always pleasant and professional at all times.

:)      1/2/08 5 5 5 Dr. Cadesky saw me when I had no GP, he was able to work with me on my concerns, he prescribed exactly what I needed and continues to be passionate and compassionate. We are very lucky to have Cadesky! I really enjoy him as a doctor.... he does listen and responds and follows up! He truly is a rare find.

:) Click to report rating    12/25/07 5 5 5 I have seen Dr. Cadesky about four times in the absence of my regular doctor. His treatments and recommendations have worked for me. Dr. Cadesky is younger than I am but I do not see that as a barrier to him giving me good treatment. I am perfectly satisfied with Dr. Cadesky, pleased that he is in a good learning environment, and fortunate that he is available in the absence of my regular doctor.

:) Click to report rating    11/28/07 4 5 5 An incredible doctor. He really seems to care, and can make you feel better just talking to him. Also seems to be very knowlegable on a wide range of medical issues. I'm very glad I found him, he's only the second Doctor who has helped me make a positive dissision on my needed transplant.

:) Click to report rating    11/26/07 4 4 5 I can't imagine someone not liking Dr. Cadesky! My doctor was also away and since seeing Dr. Cadesky I have switched my whole family over so he can be our G.P. I find some older doctors, while high on experience are a bit out of touch with younger peoples concerns. Dr. Cadesky may be younger but is in-touch, easy to talk to and very patient. I hope he can continue as our doctor for many more years.

:)      10/30/07 5 5 5 People are evaluated in their profession and face others' feedbacks on a daily basis. It is very common to receive both positive and negative feedbacks at work. People just have to be courageous to accept those thus change and improve. I trust he is indeed a good doctor. No doubts about it.

:) Click to report rating    10/23/07 5 5 5 He is a young MD who has joined a practice that has very good established physicians, they seem to have made a good choice. Dr Cadesky is very enthusiastic about medicine and very caring. I think that that negative poster did not give him a chance, its not fair to slag somebody based on an single encounter when he/she was clealry already upset. I have seen him several times and he is compassionate and knowledgable. A very good doctor.

:) Click to report rating    7/20/07 4 4 5 I've been seeing Dr.Cadesky for a little over a year now. I find him to be very helpful, he listens to my concerns, takes the time to answer my questions and involves me in my health care. He is compassionate and caring. I think he is a fantastic Dr. and have switched to him as my GP.

:( Click to report rating *  3/14/07 3 1 My doctor was away, had to see him as I was desperate since they're in the same office. I walked out disappointed. I am use to my doctor's compassion and understanding and I certainly didn't get that. At that moment, I really wished my doctor wasn't away. Enough said.

:) Click to report rating    12/5/06 5 5 Dr. Cadesky has a rare gift - he is able to explain things in general terms without being condescending. He is also caring & compassionate. When I asked him how he liked being a doctor, his reply was "I love my job." Need I say more?
