Office very backed up, but once in, a great consultation. Hopefully it was an aberration, the wait. Otherwise perfect!

Dr Saadat is a great listener and great doctor. Also would like to note Aubrie his assistant is outstanding.

Didn’t really listen to my concerns and made his own opinion based on what he thought only.
He actually cares about patient health and not just pushing surgery or pills.

Great experience! Dr. Saadat was incredibly thorough, explained everything in easy to understand way, answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Saadat if you have an orthopedic issue.
Verified patient
There was a slight wait time to see the DR; however, it maybe because I was a new patient and they had to work with my insurance. Other then that, the overall experience fantastic: everyone was friendly, the facility was clean and tidy, and the DR was knowledgeable who set a clear game plan for my lumbar pain. Would definitely recommend!
Verified patient
This was the most efficient Dr's appointment I have ever had. They were on top of everything, and I was seeing the Dr BEFORE I had even finished the intake paperwork. The Dr. had a great beside manner, went over my MRI with me in detail and was very prescriptive with next steps and my options. I'm looking forward to working through this challenge of a herniated disc with this Dr. even if I'm extremely bummed I'm going through it.

Dr Saadat is outstanding!!
Verified patient
Dr. Saadat was very considerate and gave me his full attention as I explained the pain I was experiencing. When I scheduled my appointment, I was eager to see him as soon as possible and was very grateful that he made time for me. Despite the fact he had just come out of performing an emergency surgery for another patient, he was kind and very attentive. Thank you, Dr. Saadat!
Verified patient
Staff and Doctor Saadat were all excellent - kind, knowledgeable, efficient. My only negative was a small mixup in appointment time. I booked on zocdoc for 1130 but for some reason it got booked as 1215 on their end. Once we realized the issue, the staff did what they could to get me in to see the doctor as soon as possible. Would definitely recommend Dr. Saadat to others.
