I had surgery with Dr Cacdac back in May but was hesitant to call because after my follow up he said he never wanted to see me again. I went in today because I'm having issues after my surgery and he was very rude and disrespectful and told me he couldn't do anything for me. read more

Dr. Cacdac was awesome. My emergency appendectomy ended up being appendix cancer and he could not have been more kind in getting me through that. He as very communicative, patient, and thorough in his work. He was able to recommend a HIPEC procedure for me, which has left me cancer free for the last year. Thank you Dr. Cacdac! read more

Dr Cacdac was caring, great bedside manner, very informative and a nice man. I had a gallbladder removal and did a wonderful job.

I love Dr Cacdac. I was referred to him by my Oncologist for a biopsy of a massive underarm lymphoma tumor. Very pleasant demeanor, great overall staff. I rate him five stars. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. read more

I was seen in December 2016. Dr. Cacdac is now associated with Eisenhower. His staff's is outstanding.friendly,professional and kind. I don't want to get into details why I was there, but I could for sure tell you I was nervous and worried. The girls there made me feel very comfortable and less worried at the first second that I walked into the office. Dr.Cacdac sat right in front of during my consultation and listen to my situation,after I finish there was no delay with the game plan of my further care. All my schedule testing, surgery and post op was done in a very timely matter. I recommend Dr. Cacdac and all his office to anyone that is looking for a general surgeon. read more

Unfortuantely, Dr Cacdac was referred by my oncologist. He actually walked out on me while in the exam room after I asked questions and expressed my concerns about the surgery. The Rancho Mirage Surgery Center was fantastic, however, Dr Cocdac did see me before surgery but did not have any conversation with me and to my knowledge never saw me after the surgery was over. what an ass. My life is in this guys hands, what a mistake, but I was desperate. I should have just gone to ER. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DR TO MY WORST ENEMY!!!! I have to edit this post as I typed what my mother dictated. She passed away on 5/16/16..... I firmly believe if Dr Cacdac would have done even a portion of his job, she would still be alive. Due to a blood clot in her port, which he failed numerous times to identify, she wasn't able to receive chemo for months. Her cancer progressed and she passed away 6 weeks after he removed her port. Her cancer was never going to be cured, but she should have lived longer if Dr Cacdac would have done his job properly. He directly contributed to her death. read more

I really wanted to start out with an extremely positive review for Dr. Cacdac, but after he operated on my husband, he pretty much ignored the subsequent problems he was having and he had to go to someone else for help. Will never be going back to Dr. Cacdac. read more

If I could I would rate a zero due to the way I've been treated by this office! I am in a medical profession myself and would never treat a patient the way I have been treated there let alone making the jokes that dr cacdac made about my privates to my face in a preliminary exam that will not be followed up with the surgery I need as I will be looking for a doctor that is competent. read more

Please, before you go to this doctor, read this review and others on this page. I should have listened to the other reviews, but I thought, no doctor is perfect, maybe it's just the people who he robbed the wrong way. NO, this doctor is a terrible person, and will cause you to have unnecessary surgery. I went to this doctor because I have some internal hemorrhoids, and some other issues. About a month before my visit to Dr. Cacdac I had IRC (Infrared Coagulation) performed by a different doctor, and it worked very well. However, the doctor who performed that procedure was very, very old, his hands were shaking, and he couldn't stand up. Basically, I just didn't want to take a chance that his hand will slip and he will cause me an injury or something, though the procedure that he did worked excellently. So I decided to visit Dr. Cacdac because he also advertised that he does IRC, and I needed a second treatment to finish the procedure. From the moment Dr. Cacdac walked into the room, it was clear that his goal was to sell me an extremely painful and expensive surgery. He told me that my hemorrhoids could not be treated with IRC, and I must get hemorrhoidectomy. When I asked him why IRC would not work, he told me that IRC is not for hemorrhoids like these, and it would take at least 20 visits to fix this problem. When I pointed out to him that I used to have regular bleeding, and after previous round of IRC most of my problems went away and bleeding stopped completely, he told me that it must be just a fluke, do to my other doctor doing an exam and dilating that area, and that the IRC procedure couldn't have possibly worked because it just generally doesn't work. Well, it worked for me, for 2 months now, I just need a followup treatment. While he was telling me that the IRC procedure generally don't work because, and I quote: "it coagulates the protein inside the hemorrhoid when you shoot the laser at the hemorrhoid, making it shrink a little." When I told him that I heard that IRC works by cutting off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid by destroying the tiny feeder veins above the hemorrhoid, he told me that I heard wrong, and that's absolutely not how it works. Go ahead, look it up, see who's right. My next question, which I didn't even get to ask because it was clear that Dr. Cacdac wasn't interested to continue any kind of conversation unless I was interested in his surgery, would have been: "If you think IRC doesn't work for hemorrhoids in general, and it's ONLY indicated for use on hemorrhoids, why do you even have the machine in your office?" Only 2 conclusions can be reached from the above described conversation. Either Dr. Cacdac doesn't know how the IRC procedure works, which is unlikely because he owns the machine, or he was blatantly lying to me in order to pressure me into a more pricy and much, much more painful procedure. Unsatisfied with my reluctance to do a surgery that requires 30-40 day recovery time (which Dr. Cacdac dismissed as no big deal) he offered to write me a script for some "conservative treatment creams" and ran out of the room. 5 min later the nurse gave me the 2 scripts. I asked her to tell me what these prescriptions are for, and if there are any directions. She had no idea, shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Please, please, do not go to this doctor. This doctor is the reason I am so apprehensive about going to doctors. If I can't find another doctor, I will go to my original doctor, he might be at heavens doorstep, but at least he is honest. I sincerely hope there is a special place in hell for doctors who offer unnecessary procedures to their poor patients just to make money out of human misery. read more

Your just a number with Ricardo, all he can see is dollars bills looking at him. I just came in for a referral to a specialist which Dr. Ricardo could have done and this was discussed prior to the appointment. Instead he said I can do this operation but it most likely wont turn out very well, hence why I need a specialist because it's not his type of operation. He refused to make the referral and charged me for the visit. read more

My wife is a nurse and she recommended Dr. Cacdac when I needed surgery. He is the best, hands down. Both my wifew and I insist he be the surgeon if ever an emergency arises and he can be contacted. read more

I think it is do disrespectful when a professional schedules an appointment with a client/patient and they run at least an hour behind. Dr. Cacdac's office scheduled appointments for me twice before where I waited an hour, one time, and nearly 2 hours the 2nd time. Today I asked for the first appointment after lunch and needed to be assured that I would be seen timely. When I arrived there were already 7 people signed in ALL with appointment times at 1:30. At being in the waiting room for 45 minutes I informed the staff that if I could not be seen by the doctor immediately, I would be walking out in 15 minutes and they could NOT charge me for the visit. 7 minutes before the hour was up they placed my in the operatory to wait for Dr. Cacdac. Staff informed me there were no patients in front of me. Dr. Cacdac finally came in to see me at 1 hour and 15 minutes...I informed him how disappointed I was and he said he was sorry but blamed his tardiness on taking care of a very ill patient. After my examination he said, I don't think you should come back here anymore and I agreed. read more

I can't give Dr. Cacdac and his office enough Thank you and praises. Without expecting or planning... I started having severe abdominal pain in the middle of my work day... It struck me like lighting. I had already planned a prior visit with Dr. Cacdac office, so my first insect was to call them and notify them about my symptoms. (Being in the medical field makes me feel proud to say Dr. Cacdac is the best) I was advised to go straight to the ER and Dr. Cacdac would notify them that I would be on my way. As soon as I got to the EMC ER I was taken in within 1 hour and all the exams where ordered, Suffering with pain and stressed about my signs and symptoms, Dr. Cacdac came into my ER room to notify me of all my test results about my "acute gallbladder attack," and the need for emergency surgery. He notify me he would schedule admission and my surgery, and to not worry! My ER admissions was done about 11 am and my surgery was done @6pm. I can't explain how they took care of me so well.. Knowing that I am not the only patient they or he has during the day.! I was able to return home within 2 days in full health back to my kids and family. Thank Dr. Cacdac and staff. read more
