William Hadesman's Online Review Report Card

Five stars!

I’ve had dr hadesman as my dr for many years for my knee. I finally decided to have it replaced this year and he did a great job. He is very personable and easy to talk to

I highly recommend Dr. Hadesman. I recently had a total hip replacement and it couldn't have been any better. I was walking and driving a car withing 7 days. Dr. Hadesman is very professional and a great surgeon!

I have had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Hadesman and I recommend him highly to everyone I know. He has concern for his patients, you are not just a number to him. He doesn't rush you thru your visits and answers all your questions. My daughter is having her knee replaced by him tomorrow. She liked the way he treated me and knows she will be treated well also.

As an athlete, I appreciate the help Dr. Hadesman provided with my successful surgery. He was a good listener and compassionate. Since then I've been back for more minor injuries and I'm very satisfied with my treatment plans and communication.

Great physician! Great care! Loyal and kind!

I have seen Dr Hadesman several times now in the last couple of years. I was referred to him by my previous orthopedic Dr Rodts who had retired . Not liking change , I didn’t know what to expect after seeing Dr Rodts for over 30 years! But I truly like Dr Hadesman and wouldn’t entertain the thought of going elsewhere! He spends much time , explains things and listens well:) So that being said , keep up the good work and may God Bless You :) Susan Ploessl

The worst doctor experience of my entire life! I was very injured with a dozen fractures so I was in no condition to deal with him. I was in excruciating pain and unable to defend myself due to my vulnerable state. Dr. Hadesman ridiculed me, laughed out loud at things I had read in medical journals, made fun of me because I was using essential oils. I could go on and on. On one visit I could hear him in the next room laughing it up with a couple. So I thought, great! He’s in a good mood today! Nope! The minute he got in the room with me his entire demeanor changed from friendly and jovial to harsh and nasty towards me. I’m not sure why he was so offensive toward me. I have no idea why he clearly despised me but he did. The first time I met him he came in the room and began scolding me as I sat in a wheelchair. He was angry because I had not gotten on the table. That was very difficult as I had shattered my shoulder, broke my arm, my leg, my foot & ankle all on one side of my body. I could not stand, operate a Walker or a wheelchair. I would never recommend him since he is so unpredictable and cannot control his dislike for some people. Unbelievable, horribly abusive doctor towards me. I wouldn’t go to him again if he was the last doctor on the planet.

I made an appt that I had to leave work for and brought my FSA card to cover the copay my card would not work and when I explained I would have to take care of it once I left . I was then told they couldn't see me because I couldn't cover my copay as another lady waiting kept saying they can bill you. I was also not a new patient and owed them nothing. I will not be back since $40 means that much to them.

Surgery team was not prepared despite previous appointment. The day of surgery I was told I would be receiving morphine to monitor pain. I’m allergic to that medicine and had confirmed that information with preop nurse. Breakdown in communication between Dr. Hadesman, the surgeon, and his supporting team had occurred. Anesthesiologist was not prepared for the plan that had been agreed upon. The Elmhurst Pain Center is the only pain center Dr. Hadesman works with, and they did a poor job of monitoring pain, communicating with hospital nursing staff, and rely heavily on opioids as their main pain treatment option. Communication with doctor declined when obstacles arose. You will not be treated as a full patient but as whatever injury/surgery you are being treated for. He always runs greatly behind. That would be fine if the care received matched the time you wait. When second opinion was sought with doctor’s approval, he became agitated.
