After a long period with him, he left. My doctor then came in with the fellow and spent a very short time with me. I do not feel like my concerns were addressed effectively during this visit.

Immediately after Dr. Qadri replaced my baclofen pump and repositioned the catheter in my spine, I lost most feeling in my left foot and I could barely lift my leg. He suggested that he may have irritated some nerves and ordered an MRI. The MRI revealed a severe cord compression at level T11-12. Given the symptoms were directly tied to his actions, I questioned him how this could have happened, and he suggested that pushing me in a prone position for the position my have played a part in the compression. I now need to have surgery again in that area.
