Write a Review606-679-7464

Dr. Nadim done a total hip replacement surgery on me in March of 2016. While his bedside manner was a little rough he done an excellent job on the hip. Within 2 months of surgery I was cane and walker free. I am pleased with his care and would return to him if needed

I was sent to Dr. Nadim by my PCP because of severe osteoarthritis in my hip. I was x-rayed competently by his staff. However, Dr. Nadim walked into the room where I was waiting, did not even sit down and informed me that he would not treat me for 6 months. He said I could not have the surgery until I had reached a certain weight . He was very patronizing and dismissive of me. I did the math and realized that he expected me to lose 130 lbs. in 6 months! When i asked him about the pain- expecting to get an injection, he again dismissed me and told me to talk to my PCP. Meanwhile I could barely walk, couldn't work, and was basically stuck in my chair everyday. What makes this story even worse is that there is NO reason not to treat an obese patient with a bad hip. I easily found a Dr. in Louisville who, even though he is in very high demand because he is an anterior hip replacement expert, was more than willing to give me an injection that took care of my immediate pain problem and schedule me for surgery. I was not patronized or dismissed-- I was treated with dignity as the human being I am! What is more the staff in Louisville saw how severe my problem was and fast tracked me so that I got an incredibly quick appointment and surgery. I am now 1 week out from my hip replacement and walking and feeling better than I have in Years! If Dr. Nadim had had his way, I would still be in excruciating pain and waiting 3 more months to see him again.....Horrible, Horrible care!
