Essam Elkady's Online Review Report Card

Excellent

My last visit with Doctor Elkady was great. He’s definitely the best doctor I’ve ever encountered. I will miss him so much. Cox is loosing one of their best doctors. He always put me at ease and explained everything to me so I could understand. When you have a few different lung diseases it helps to have someone that is very knowledgeable in that field and also knows how to comfort you at the same time. I trusted him with my whole heart. I want to thank him for always being such a wonderful doctor and always putting his patients first. I know others that had him as their doctor and they loved him. I just hope and pray I can receive another doctor that is at least half as good as he. I know doctors like him are very rare and my chances of receiving that quality of care is not going to be easy!! Sincerely, Jennifer Bruce

While I was in the hospital with Covid, Dr. Elkady came to my bedside while I was on a ventilator. Everyone else had been so positive in conversations and support. I still remember him indicating something about my age and my brain activity and how he "guessed" they would keep working on me...He seemed negative. I would suggest he work on his bedside manner. People fighting for their lives can hear you.

Great everything easy Doctor is nice but office difficult to get ahold of for results

He took care of my dad innicu was very informative and honest

Probably the BEST experience I have had with a doctor in a long time. He tells you the truth and doesn’t beat around the bush on any issues. Wish he was my primary care doctor too!!

The Doctor is very nice , the clinic is not well organized I would have gone to Mercy but I like Dr Elkady he is always informative and caring

Dr. Elkady’s new nurse sucks. Samantha was such a good nurse and I was able to work well with her. I hate that she didn’t come back. Don’t know what the new nurses name is but she was terrible to my husband today. It’s very disappointing because I felt like me and my husband both had a great working relationship with Dr. Elkady. I’ve been through a lot with him. He was great! Now she won’t let us talk to him and acts like she knows what he would say. Very disappointed..

I had to call there all the time. Only to get Nothing but a Recording machine. I got really sick of PEOPLE THAT DON'T DO THERE JOBHaving Had Sleep Apnea my Whole Life and having a TIA with Paralysis and 2 Heart Attacks. I Really needed my C pap supplies for Over 9 months. I would Leave Oh Poor me messages. I DIDN'T Want To Die. No Sympathy just Ignoring me. One lady there was Always nice.. Not Sue. Oh No.. Oh my God! Literary she kept CALLING me Back when she caused me Severe Angina.. She was acting like a 12 year old. Saying Who's StupidWho's studid..Throwing a Complete Fit or Temper Tantrum. During which time I told her that I had Already called the Ambulance here this week. Sue Repies.. YES I KNOW.BUT CALLED ME YELLING KNOWING THAT I HAD TO HANG UP ON HER OR DIE.I called COX COMPLAIN ABOUT INCIDENTNO HELP WITH SAVING MY LIFE. NOR "DOING WHAT'S RIGHT. Fire Sue as She Wouldn't do Her Job and knew my Life was at Risk when I Hung up on her to Keep from DYING. WHEN SUE CALLED BACK KNOWING ALL THIS. I Said She Had Attempted to Take my Life. God and I know Sue Did. How can such a Contemptuos person get paid forSUCH HARASSMENT. IT'S SO WRONGContacting Department for the Healing Arts

Great doctor answer all my questions and spend time with me and my wife to explain to us the whole process

Dr Elkady was very thorough taking care of my dad in ICU frequently updating and reassuring all the family.

The experience I had was not a pleasant one. When the doctor came into the room he kept looking at me then at his laptop and finally said "who are you?". After I gave him my name he says "you don't look like I thought you would look". He then said "you are a candidate for a lung transplant". He would not answer any questions that I asked and didn't seem to really give me the time of day or explain any of the Spirometry Test Results. I will not go back to him!!!

Needed a doc to get C pap supplies, called and got Dr Elkady. Had sleep test done 1 yr before with Mercy. I had knee replacement surgery coming up in 2 months. Told Dr Elkady this, guess I made myself an easy target. He started going off about, he didn't like the doctor at Mercy I had, and I was going to die on the operating table and he was going to cancel my knee surgery, if I didn't have another sleep test done, by him. Called for results. No Change. I guess he got what he wanted though. $$

Good experience visit was smooth I did not need much just needed order for my CPAP machine

Excellent and honest he saved my dad,s life the only physician who took the time to explain to the whole family exactly what was going on and guided us through the stressful time I highly recommend Dr.Elkady if your loved one is being treated for lung cancer

I went in to the office to get help for my 20 year old special needs daughter. This man came in the room not wanting to help. He had the nerve to ask if my daughter could understand him. I would have had more respect if he had bothered to look at her records before we drove so far to see him. He made my daughter cry and that is not ok. No Doctor should come on a room with such a chip on his shoulder and hurt my daughter. The worst part she still does not have the help she needs.

Dr. Elkady is extremely well versed in sleep disorders, and pulmonary functions in general. He took an appropriate amount of time with me, and explained things very carefully. He also took the time to answer all the questions my wife and I had.

Dr . Elkady looked at my Ct scan and was able to tell me exactly what will happen next and what to expect , he was on spot everything was organized perfectly and my cancer was caught and treated in time thanks Dr.Elkady

Dr. Elkady is an excellent physician. He is very knowledgeable and is amazing to work with.

Doesn’t deserve one star! He is a zero in every way possible! Our first appointment he seemed to listen and care. The second looked at us,said why are you back. My husband has been sick with lung problems going on three years. We finally convinced him to do a broncostapy against his advice. He assured us he would not feel a thing. My husband stayed fully awake & was more less tortured. He informed us that no other dr. in there would see us, because they all talk.Have so much more to say, no room
