Dr. Farook J Kidwai

He saved my life in 1984!

Excellent neurosurgeon and very compassionate. We need more surgeons like him

I had the privilege of having this man save my life in 1984. With the best follow up care for years that was so good that his approach to medicine should be the set standard as far as I am concerned! This man is about saving lives!!

Dr Kidwai is the best at everything he does. He's amazing, caring, understanding and very knowledgeable. He found people's that even the radiologist that likes at my mri didn't find. He's actually stupendous.

Truly gifted by the hands of God! Cherished & even more missed! Its shame there's not more doctors with Dr. Farook Kidwai`s compassion & medical excellence! This is 1 Dr. I don't mind saying I truly love, highly respect & gr8ly appreciate! Dr. Kidwai did my last 3 back surgeries that all turned out perfectly excellent for me & at the time I was very young single mother trying with gr8 Agonizing 24/7 pain to raise my 3 very small children 8, 6 & 1 . I was in Hurendous Torturing Pain after my 1st back surgery that a different doctor did didn't go so well. Then an aquantence of mine highly recommended Dr.F. Kidwai who was at lest abt. an hour away & Well worth the drive. His honesty, wisdom, straight forwardness & patient compassion sold me at my 1st appointment ( even though I wasnt particularly happy to hear him tell me I had a body of a 80 yr old woman & needed to loss some weight ) Lol, I knew he was right (I had gained 20 lbs after my last my child. & talked myself into he must of ment my ability to move abt as a 80 yr old lady ) But I quickly learned this highly gifted tool from God was always accurate regarding me & my health. And in 2008 having to move back to my hometown because of other health issues & 1 of them being my back condition because of ageing & Disc disease that i needed to see Dr Kidwai again after almost 16 yrs since my last Dr. visit with him. And after all the needed tests, etc... I find out a needed spinal fusion was necessary. ok, I thought let's do this. But then the Devastating news I learned next just crushed me! Even though he did his best to break the news to me (what was bad news for me because he was & still is The Only Doctor I ever trusted & who had Always been 100% Successful in treating me ) That he was closing his practice & was in the last stages of tying up the loose ends but he wasn't going to turn me away. I broke down in tears & quickly told him then I wasn't going to have the surgery! If he wasn't going to do my surgery I culdnt trust that very delicate procedure to no other! But like the great doctor he is, he recommended a doctor who he had trained. Me still being fearful & sceptical, he assured me he would 100% trust this doctor to do that procedure on himself it he needed it. He supplied with a detailed letter of my medical history with him from over the years, still crying I gave this man a hug & let him no he was very appreciated & would be greatly missed. It's been 10 yrs now since that dark day for me, I did visit the recommend Dr once, he was very professional, wise & caring. But my fear from my bad experiences with some doctors has prevented me from having the much still & even more needed back surgery. I don't apologize for this very long review if it helps 1 patient appreciate the good doctors that the good Lord has given us in this world. And for the many times I didn't tell Dr Farook Kidwai how much I really did appreciate him & his medical talents. I still keep him, his family & even the great staff he had in my prayers this very day. And hope he's been able to really enjoy his family & grandchildren he always talked abt with great love & passion. We're told not to take our family for granted. But I tell you take no one & nothing for granted ever. Especially a great Doctor! And Very Excellent Staff! Both a diamond in the ruff. Truly gifted by the hands of God! Cherished & even more missed! Its shame there's not more doctors with Dr. Farook Kidwai`s compassion & … More

best damn Dr. ever!!!!

Rude and seems like he don't remember his patient.He does same treatment over and over again.Can't understand him and disrespectful.Not satisfy with his care at all.

Although it's been years I had to google dr Kidwai for his location! He saved my life when I was in a tragic car accident while pregnant and only 18! Now that he's no longer in our area, I have seen other neurologists and no one and nothing has compared to his knowledge, care and guidance! I was young and struggling, had no physical ability to work normally without struggling or getting sick! Before approval for disability help Dr Kidwai gave me $50 out of his pocket at a check up and told me to go buy my son some new school shoes! So I did exactly that! He's empowering! Thank you and I miss you! Although it's been years I had to google dr Kidwai for his location! He saved my life when I was in a tragic car accident while pregnant and only 18!

Over many years and surgeries, this Doctor cared for me as one of his own family. At first he is distant and hard to understand. But after a few visits, it gets easier to talk to each other. He is a perfectionist, but friendly, and generous. I know many patients who were not charged for his services. Do not let his place of birth destract you. He is highly educated beyond his era and was teaching advanced surgeons the techniques he acquired over the years. Stick with him, you won't regret it!
