Patient Rating
Many patients report that Dr. Kadish is attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate, taking time to listen, explain next steps, coordinate referrals, and manage difficult symptoms. Several commenters appreciated thorough virtual and in-person visits and felt validated by his approach. A subset of patients described organizational problems—missing records, scheduling mix-ups, interruptions, and feeling rushed or underinformed—so experiences are mixed despite the overall praise.

I like the young fella, hes the man and very professional at his job
Dr. Kadish truly listens to my symptoms and is extremely thorough in examinations. I feel comfortable trusting him with informing me of the best treatment options for my MS. I hope to be his patient for a long time, and have faith that my health is in good hands.
I encountered this physician in the ER and was immediately impressed by how thorough and perceptive he was. He didn't just stay at the surface'he identified gaps, made meaningful connections, and thoughtfully questioned findings. I remember going home and telling family members in medicine how impressed I was with his level of care. I felt completely at ease under his care. At my follow-up visit, he remained highly professional, helping guide next steps, including referrals to specialists and exploring possible diagnoses. His bedside manner, analytical ability, and genuine involvement make him an excellent doctor.
Dr. Kadish was very professional and respectful. He listened to my concerns and went over my chart and we discussed issues and came to a game plan that we both agreed upon
Helpful and concerned about your health issues

I've been in Utah for three years and have seen many doctors for many different issues. Having to see a neurologist seemed a little more serious to me. I saw a neurologist in Draper, who literally came in for 10 minutes told me to get an MRI and that his physician assistant would see me on my next visit, needless to say I never went back. This doctor over exceeded my expectations for my caregiver. He was so thorough so incredibly kind and just a really nice person his assistant was 10 for 10 thorough, patient, and very kind best experience I've had in Utah since I've been here. I'm very grateful to them both.
He his very thorough and remembers your previous visits which makes it easy especially on what medication you have already tried. Very pleasant and helpful.
So Grateful to have Dr Kadish as my physician!
Dr Kadish is the first Nuerlogist to actually care and listen He wants help you get better I felt validated because he listened and communicated well when in the past I have always like I was crazy like it was all in my head . Really appreciated Him. He was willing to take the journey to discover what's is on my best care. Thank 3Dr Kadish
Helpful and understanding but also listened
He was great!! So was med student. Took his time with me.
We had very little interaction, and he had almost no records to go off of thanks to the other members of the staff and miscommunications. All I can say is that he was polite.
Dr Kadish was very professional and friendly. He answered all our questioned and eased all of my concerns. I finally feel like someone cares
Very good person as well as a Dr
Dr Kadish seems to care individually about me and my health taking his time during my appt not rushing to another patient

Care is very much a doctore=patient conversation for Dr Kadish.
He belittle me. Told me go back to Mayo!!
Dr. Kadish was excellent. This was my first appointment with the U of Utah Neurology, and I was not disappointed. I was able to get a virtual visit, which helped greatly as I live in eastern Idaho. I understand this will not always be the case, but it is nice on occasion. He listened to me, was thorough, did not rush me, and was compassionate.
Great listener. Didnt discount my issues. Knowledgeable
He is a great provider and he does a great job at what he does for his patients .
Dr. Kadish presented himself professionally with a pleasant and caring manner. He listened and then used my husband as his extended hand to evaluate my condition. He gave understandable answers to our questions and provided feedback that was useful.
He made me feel like he cared for me and was going to help me. I look forward to having him be my doctor in the future.
A very competent young doctor
good guy
Dr. Kadish was able to manage my migraines when others were not as capable. He listened to me and what I was struggling with ad was able to refer me to more specialists to help me get the help I needed to deal with the new me post injury. I am really grateful for his help because I was starting to really lose hope. I had no idea what was going on or how to calm it down. He was able to do that.
Dr. Eckenstein called in Dr. Kadish as a consultant and I was in the room with both of these neurologists. That, for me, is very intimidating! As I have stated above Dr. Eckenstein is very good AND DR. Kadish was awesome! He really listened and was very thoughtful! I could feel compassion and kindness radiating from him plus he is very approachable! That is very rare! I am grateful that there are these patient physicians out there.
He was very thorough, relatable and we talked about the concerns and possible solutions relating to my healthcare needs. I would highly recommend this provider
Met with him about 5 min. He seemed very distracted and eager to be done with me.
Professional and very informative, answered all of my questions thoughtfully.
He explained what he knew and set us up for more follow up. Very knowledgeable
Great provider. Very personable and caring.
See first comment
Very attentive and engaged. Listened attentively to everything I had to say regarding my health concerns. Wish all doctors were this engaged.
Just very positive and helpful.
Very good
He was kind and knowledgeable.
Dr.Kadish was very professional with his approach to my care. He took the time to make sure all my concerns were addressed and I understood what he was trying to relay to me.
He's a very good doctor and knows how to explain things to his patients that he sees
Great experience with Dr. Kadish. He took his time during the appointment to ensure he understood my medical history and to answer any questions or concerns I had. He gave his opinion on the best possible treatment options for me and my MS but didn't push anything. Overall, great experience!
He respected my choice to not repeat the same tests (MRI) that would show the same result (Yes, I still have MS!)
This man is absolutely a dream!
Dr. Kadish is wonderful, and was in this appointment as well! I so appreciate how personable and down-to-earth he is.
Great listener.
Doctor wrote off my concerns about my condition instead of addressing them.
Very thorough and very professional
It was fair
I was very pleased with this Physician.
Dr Kadish is so kind, caring, and knowledgeable!!! Best experience I've had in a very long time
Good
All fine.
Doc took the time to listen to all my concerns and do more research on my questions.
Dr. Kadish was nice and all and his resident that helped was nice, but having an appointment that no one knew why I was there was a little frustrating. The resident, I believe his name was Dr. Wong, was nice but at one point during the appointment just noted and didn't speak to me for about 15 minutes. Dr. Kadish came in for about 5 minutes and pretty much said that what I was being seen for in their clinic they didn't see or treat and didn't know what to do with me so they referred me back to my PCP. It was an hour long appointment, that should have been evaluated better by the schedulers to ensure that what I wanted to be seen for was appropriate for their clinic instead of wasting a co-pay and my time.
I left my appt knowing nothing more about MS than when I left. I was looking for a foundational appt, prognosis, treatment options, types of medications used, neuro symptoms to watch out for, what people generally experience. And if that wasn't the discussion we were to have, that could have been voiced. Hello, we're here to discuss your symptoms and decide together what to do. Based off everything so far, it's doubtful you have MS, these are the tools used to help us get to a diagnosis and you're not there. Differential Dx? Too soon for that, we need more information via tests. Dr. Kadish while obviously brilliant, was not a good fit for me. I should have better advocated for myself and what I was wanting, and that's on me. Being nervous that I was at the MS clinic to begin with was intimidating. Feeling like I was going into an appt where my life could change, it was disappointing to feel dismissed and undereducated. Trying to work through those emotions in the moment to ensure a good visit, pretty difficult.
Literally being left out to just be sick, no care has really been provided. The guy just basically shrugged but in fancy medical terminology
I waited months just to get an appointment with anyone in the MS specialty group. So for months seeing other providers, getting labs, reading etc. I have been doing everything in preparation for this neuro appointment. No one will tell me anything until this person at this appointment. I still havent had anyone in neuro or otherwise say, "you have what looks like MS, we are going to treat you for MS, how are you taking the news you likely have MS". I am figuring it out and I have support, but it would be nice that this person I have been spending so much time waiting to see, could show even a little bit of empathy or understanding of the worst news I have received to date.
Dr Kadish is very good at listening to my concerns.
I have really enjoyed working with my doctor. He showed concern, empathy, and hope during our meeting where he formally diagnosed me.
Not satasafied with visit. Have questions but can't call doctor
Dr. Kadish did not have my MRI or bloodwork at the time of my appointment. I waited 3 months and drove 6 hours from Butte, MT, for this appointment. It was very disappointing to hear this when I arrived. I would have expected a call to let me know they weren't in possession of my medical history and I could have gotten it and brought it down with me. I would expect the University of Utah to be better organized and have better patient care than what I experienced. Dr. Kadish asked me what the plan was moving forward. I came to him for help and answers. I'm not a neurologist and was expecting some insight into what my issue could be and how to help. I had told him that a previous neurologist speculated it was migraines but, again, I'm not a specialist. I would expect an independent exam and questioning to assess my condition and did not feel like that was the case here. In the middle of my appointment a nurse came in to verify who I was. The doctor then stepped out to talk to her and she let him know there was a scheduling mix up and he had a zoom call waiting for him. (I could hear everything.) From then on, both Dr. Kadish and the resident who was also there seemed eager to end the appointment. They looked at the clock several times. at no time did either ask me if I had any questions. I left feeling like this appointment was a huge waste of time and that I was simply a number.
Dr. Kadish was very kind and helpful !
vert good experience
