Fadi Alhatem, MD

I had one of best doctor experiences I can remember. I felt heard, listened to and respected and very happy overall that I can heal and my back/neck stronger, less pain just to move!

Care provider always seems to be in a hurry, or rushed, from the time he enters the room. He immediately starts talking about what he thinks is important, without asking the patient why they have come in, their concerns, etc. He starts giving his opinion without any regards to what the patient has to say. He barely tolerates questions from the patient, and his answers are rushed and unclear. I have to speak really fast with any questions, because he is constantly trying to end the visit and leave the room.

This doctor provided no plan of action after the appointment and said he couldn't explain why my symptoms were so unusual after an epidural. He showed almost no concern I was having serious signs of a failed epidural. He was coy when I pressed about how often he's seen my symptoms after epidurals and how many patients of the clinic eventually had arachnoiditis after an epidural. The entire encounter felt like he was holding back information from me. He also admitted he was rushed because they added me in last minute yes, I was holding the clinic accountable for answering as to why their procedure gave me painful symptoms that won't go away and made my pain worse than before an epidural. When I asked him follow up questions on CSlink he just sent me a general referral to Nuerology and didn't answer any of my questions.He couldn't rule out arachnoiditis and then offered no instructions on what to do about it. I felt so uncared for.

I've struggled with Chronic Pain since complications from a surgery in 2018. I've gone to neurologists and pain. Doctors who shot a one size fits all treatment. Dr Alhatem, has been a safe harbor for me in terms of treatment, and listening to my issues, investigating the causes, and finding a solution, which is personal to me. I struggled with being over medicated prior to seeking treatment with Dr. Alhatem, and he has made adjustments to my medication's, which have liberated me. The team of professionals at Dr. Alhatem's office are so helpful and welcoming. One would think it is natural for people in pain management to be kind, but I have found quite the opposite. The staff at this office, are accommodating, and overdeliver on the Cedar's Sinai Mission!

It was the doctor who treated me horribly. I am filling out this survey solely to address this: my doctor didn't listen to me; he didn't believe my pain, treated me like a drug seeker, and pretty much kicked me out of his office. I was in tears later that day when told I couldn't see the appropriate doctor for another 7 weeks. My only recourse now is urgent care or emergency room. I will probably never return to a cedars doctor, let alone recommend one.
