Dr. Faizi A. Siddiqi, MD

Dr. Siddiqi has performed four surgeries on our daughter. We are so thankful for his expertise and loving care. He went above and beyond to visit my daughter on weekends at the hospital during each of her stays. He is very personable and spent ample amount of time with my husband and I to answer all of our questions about her condition and surgeries. We regard him as an angel in our home!

Dr. Siddiqi performed one of my sons surgeries for his cleft lip and he did a wonderful job! He has always been very nice and helpful during our visits and always answers any questions or concerns we have. We will be going to him for all of our sons surgeries in the future.

I took my son in for an eval for a condition and Dr. Siddiqi spent Less than a minute, in our room with us before diagnosing him with a completely different issue altogether- without even laying my son on the exam table. I was displeased with the exam and I talked with the university about it later and he apologized and offered to see my son again to ensure proper examination. I was grateful he was willing to see my son again after my first experience was not satisfactory.

Dr. Siddiqi came very highly recommended to us for a needed facial surgery for my two-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, I cannot pass on the same high recommendation. We had a very negative experience with he and his staff. The greatest disappointment came when we went to a follow up visit (traveling from four hours away) to have my daughter's bandages removed and assess her recovery. We didn't see Dr.Siddiqi at the start, instead it was an intern, resident, or PA (he never introduced himself). He stated that Dr. Siddiqi had instructed him to soak the bandages to help them come off. He proceeded to squirt the bandages with water from a syringe letting excess water run all over her face. When he proceeded to remove the bandages my daughter began to cry. She was not fighting him or out of control, but she was in pain, and did cry. He then left the room and came back with Dr. Siddiqi who told me I should take her home (four hours away mind you) and soak the bandages in the bathtub to remove them and then I could send him a picture of the wound. I told him I wouldn't be leaving without him checking the wound. He then informed me I was welcome to take the bandages off myself, but that his staff would not do so because of the trauma it was causing my daughter. Again, she was not fighting them nor was she out of control, she was simply crying. I have no doubt any child would have done the same. Dr. Siddiqi told me that I was welcome to remove the bandages myself, but that he and his staff would not be doing so. So, I did the Dr's job and removed the bandages so that he could check her recovery. It was strange... a staff in a children's hospital acted as if they had never worked with a child before. I would not send my friends or family to this physician.

I took my son to Dr Siddiqi 3 years ago to have large mole removed. The process to remove this Mole took 3 months. A very tortuous time for my 3 year old. During the procedures at the hospital the Dr would leave us waiting for hours never updating up until we asked about our son and they would say “Oh he’s been out of surgery for a bit, he’s been crying for you”. There was also a time he updated another family about our son. Also, We were also promised by Dr. Siddiqi that the scar, even though covering a large area of his head, would be very unnoticeable and minimal. Now three years later the scar looks like an abnormal sideways hair line. Wrapping around half of his head and is very large. People always tease him asking if he cut his own hair. I do not suggest This Dr to anyone. There ha dot he better ones out there. Remember always me your child’s advocate and speak up if something isn’t right. You have to stand up and speak for your child since they can’t.
