Everyone said, "Don't have back surgery"! Well, my pain doctor suggested I see Dr. Kaakaji , and I am so glad he did. Dr. Kaakaji operated on my back and gave me my life back. He is a caring, confident doctor who wants you to understand the proposed surgery and outcomes and takes the time it takes to answer questions.
We went to Dr. Kaakaji for a second opinion. He was very straight forward and explained all of our options for my husband's back very well. He is not jumping to do surgery, which my husband appreciated. I appreciated the fact that he was looking at his future potential for needing extensive surgery as well.
Dr. Kaakaji saved my life and continues to fix my many spinal and back problems. He never recommends surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. He listens and explains bluntly what is happening. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything and explains in detail. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable and caring neurosurgeon, Dr. Kaakaji is the doctor to see.
Dr Kaakaji has helped me. I came in the hospits from the emergency room, and could not walk and in great pain. I was sent to take an mri and found my problem was in my neck. After talking with Dr Kaakaji he operated 1 day later, he had to change something he had to do, so that he had the time to operate on me. I am very grateful, if it wasn't for him I think I would not be able to walk at all. I do have to use a walker, but I think I would not be able to walk at all if it wasn't for Dr Kaakaji.
Dr Kaakaji was recommended after an MRI showed severe stenosis to my lower back. He performed a very thorough exam and was very upfront and honest. He explained my options well and ordered more testing to see if there was anything else going on. During my second visit he confirmed what what found during the first visit and even recommended I get a second opinion to feel better about my future with surgery. He was very easy to talk to and took his time with me. I will definitely be returning.
I went to see Dr. Kaakaji for a back problem I was having. It was a long wait in the waiting area 2 hours after my appointment time. When I finally got to the room he didn't even spend 5 minutes with me. It seemed he was in a hurry. He also didn't give me many options to try and fix my back problem. I had to suggest physical therapy because his suggestions were to live with my pain or get surgery. I would never go back to see him. And I would not recommend him to anyone!
He shoots straight from the hip....straight shot no chaser. . . He doesn't mind explaining how he sees you case individually not just lumped in a category. .... He want the best possible outcome for his patients regardless of whether he operates or not...
had first appointment and waited over thirty min. asked what was wrong and was told computer problems docfor was not aware of it. i think he was late and he told me thats way it is.
