As a doctor, I liked Dr Aadaam. But I was mystified why he was 30 minutes late for a 1:30 appointment when I was told I was his first patient. I also didn't appreciate being seen by a resident first. I don"t like it when the first encounter with the specialist is through other staff.

I'm very pleased with his ability to answer my questions and help me understand procedures. His medical skills helped me tremendously - POEM procedure was just what I needed.

I am only giving Dr. Aadam and his 2nd year fellow a 10. I went to see him for a 2nd opinion because I had no confidence in my GI team at CDH. After we talked, both of us were on the same page from the get go. They brought confidence and decreased to me today. Definitely will return to him and recommend him for sure!!
