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.
