    Dr. El-Dadah is kind, validating, and really takes the time to listen to any and all concerns we have with our kiddos. He's very thorough as well - our oldest had a bit of a limp and he wasted no time - to X-rays we went! We've had both of our kids with him since they were babies and they adore him!

    Dr. El-Dadah misdiagnosed my daughter multiple times. I was concerned that my child was having seizures and saw him multiple times for this, he told me that it was GERD and that I had "new mom" anxiety. My daughter was later diagnosed with a seizure disorder that causes brain damage. After she was discharged from the hospital (she was admitted to the hospital because of her seizure disorder), he told me that they see kids with her condition all the time. Clearly that isn't the case because he wasn't able to diagnose it from the multiple videos I showed him. I should also mention that I am a nurse, and I am familiar with seizures. He invalidated my thoughts/feelings and constantly brushed off my concerns. My daughter also had a hernia, I mentioned to him multiple times I thought it was a hernia and he told me it was part of her sternum. We got a second opinion, and she had her hernia surgically fixed shortly after. I tell everyone I know who is looking for a pediatrician not to go to him.

    Dr El- Dadah is knowledgeable, kind and has excellent bedside manner. My husband and I work in the medical field and we have taken all three of my kids here since their births and have been so satisfied and happy with the care he has provided. He eases first-time mom worries, provides rationale for his diagnosis/ treatment recommendations and also take into account to the parent opinions, concerns and questions. The nurse he works with, Heidi, is also excellent. 10/10 would recommend.

    Dr. El-Dadah is absolutely amazing! He was my pediatrician in my teen years and has been my children's doctor for the past 3 years. My daughter adores him and often tells me she *wants* to go the doctors! He's exceptionally patient with questions and explains everything. His nurses are also exceptionally sweet and Kind. I couldn't be happier!

    Dr. El Dadah is one of the best pediatric physicians I have ever met. He has been the primary physician for both of my daughters for over 4 years and they absolutely love him. He is so kind and patient with them and does a great job explaining everything medically related to me. I'm also a pediatric nurse so I've seen a fair share of pediatric physicians.
