My name is Andrew Sadik, I am the Physician Assistant at the Spine Center within Acibadem. With my background as a physiotherapist, I continued my studies and training to become a Physician Assistant. The extensive knowledge and experiences I have gained of the spinal and the musculoskeletal system are very useful in my current line of work. On a day to day basis I work closely with the orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons of our center.
You can often make an appointment on short notice with me for a consultation, in which I will take the time to properly examine you and discuss how we can help you as best as possible. If there is an indication for surgery, I will guide you through that process together with the orthopedic- or neurosurgeon. In other cases, we will always help you as best we can with other treatment options. I am fully committed to providing you with the best possible care and am easily accessible to provide you with advice and answers to all your questions.
