Dr. Gargi Shishir Kadkade Reviews
Patient Experience
A 28-year-old female software engineer from a middle-class family presented with persistent headaches. Dr. Kadkade's MRI revealed a rare pineal gland cyst. Through minimally invasive image-guided aspiration, the patient experienced complete symptom resolution within two weeks, returning to work without complications.
An 82-year-old retired fisherman from a coastal village arrived with unexplained weight loss. Dr. Kadkade's contrast-enhanced CT identified an early-stage pancreatic tumor missed in previous scans. The early detection allowed for successful surgical intervention, with the patient maintaining good health at 6-month follow-up.
A 45-year-old construction worker with limited healthcare access presented after a fall. Dr. Kadkade's musculoskeletal ultrasound revealed a complete Achilles tendon rupture that appeared partial on physical exam. The accurate diagnosis led to immediate surgical repair and proper rehabilitation guidance.
A 7-year-old boy from an affluent family was brought in after a sports injury. Dr. Kadkade's pediatric-specific MRI protocol identified a subtle growth plate fracture that conventional X-rays had missed. The precise imaging prevented potential long-term growth complications.
A 33-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation was referred for fetal MRI after questionable ultrasound findings. Dr. Kadkade's expertise identified a correctable congenital diaphragmatic hernia, enabling planned delivery at a tertiary center with pediatric surgery standby, resulting in positive outcomes for both mother and baby.
A 60-year-old diabetic farmer presented with foot numbness. Dr. Kadkade's specialized nerve conduction studies combined with ultrasound identified not just diabetic neuropathy but an additional compressive neuropathy. The dual diagnosis allowed for targeted treatment that significantly improved mobility.
A 19-year-old college athlete from another state sought a second opinion. Dr. Kadkade's dynamic shoulder ultrasound revealed a rare labral tear pattern that explained the persistent pain despite previous treatment. The specific diagnosis guided successful arthroscopic repair.
A 52-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer requested a screening MRI. Dr. Kadkade's diffusion-weighted imaging identified a subcentimeter malignancy invisible on mammogram. Early detection allowed for lumpectomy rather than mastectomy, with rapid recovery.
A 68-year-old retired teacher with complex cardiac history needed an MRI but had a non-MRI compatible pacemaker. Dr. Kadkade developed a novel CT protocol with contrast timing that provided diagnostic coronary images equivalent to MRI, avoiding risky device removal.
A 41-year-old restaurant owner presented with abdominal pain. Dr. Kadkade's multiphase CT angiography identified mesenteric artery dissection rather than the suspected appendicitis. The accurate diagnosis prevented unnecessary surgery and guided appropriate medical management.
A 5-year-old girl from an underserved community was brought in with developmental delays. Dr. Kadkade's specialized pediatric neuroimaging revealed a previously undiagnosed congenital brain malformation, enabling early intervention services and educational support.
A 75-year-old retired naval officer with metal implants from prior surgeries required spinal imaging. Dr. Kadkade employed metal artifact reduction sequences on CT that provided clear visualization of spinal pathology, allowing for successful minimally invasive treatment.
A 29-year-old professional musician presented with hand tremors. Dr. Kadkade's high-resolution MR neurography identified a rare nerve compression pattern. Image-guided injection provided immediate relief, and the patient returned to performing within days.
A 63-year-old woman with claustrophobia required brain MRI. Dr. Kadkade utilized an open MRI with advanced sequences adapted for the machine's limitations, obtaining diagnostic images that identified a small meningioma without requiring sedation.
