Susan Guarino's Story

Comments: We are so glad we found Dr. Kadri. He has an excellent bedside manner, and is very knowledgeable and experienced on the latest orthopedic technological advances. Here is our story if you would like to read it:

Mom is a tiny, frail 83-year-old with dementia, who couldn’t walk more than a few steps before the March surgery, and had a history of falling. Anyone familiar with dementia knows how it causes more issues and obstacles with especially surgeries. Past surgeries with past surgeons caused her to come out mentally and physically worse than when she went in.

Dr. Kadri truly listened and considered every concern we had, and we had a lot. He made a game plan for them all in advance. Day of, he executed our game plan and directed staff accordingly. We were able to achieve the intended results and Mom and her dementia, because of Dr and team, did really well on surgery day and after.

After Mom’s surgery, she was able to go home next day to complete the remainder of her recovery with us. Yesterday was the first time in over a year, where she walked into her PCP office on a walker and not in her wheelchair. She calls him her “favorite doctor” and “her hero”.

We can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kadri and his Riverside Community Hospital team.
