Jay Pederson's Story

Comments: On Easter I had a terrible accident putting our safety net on the pool. Let's just say in the process I ended up with a severely broken right femur.

I was rushed in an ambulance to Saddleback Memorial in the worst pain of my life. Doctors Youdarian and Kadakia were luckily on call at the hospital that day. They took pity on my situation and rushed me to emergency surgery inserting a 415mm titanium rod into my femur securing it with screws. Each day at the hospital Dr. Kadakia visited with me to see how I was doing. After discharge from the hospital I met with Dr. Kadakia at his practice as a 2 week followup. He was on time, attentive and answered all my questions. Later, when I had left I sent a message to his office on a question regarding something I saw on the X-Ray. To my surprise Dr. Kadakia called me that evening to answer my question and put my mind at ease.

I can't say enough good things about the care I have received from Dr. Kadakia and the cast of many (including Dr. Youdarian) who support him. He is truly a master at his work and more importantly a good, caring and loving human being.
