About Dr. Siddiqui

A Physician Who
Truly Listens

A New Jersey native with deep tri-state roots, Dr. Sadiah Siddiqui knew from an early age that medicine was her calling. She was accepted to the highly selective BS/MD program at Drexel University College of Medicine — a pathway reserved for exceptional students — before going on to complete her advanced training at the elite Tri-Institutional Pain Program, a highly competitive fellowship jointly run by Weill Cornell Medical College, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Now practicing at HSS, the nation's #1 ranked orthopedic hospital, Dr. Siddiqui's passion is simple: helping patients reclaim their lives from pain. Using the latest minimally invasive techniques — from image-guided injections to spinal cord stimulation — she delivers precise, personalized care that goes beyond managing symptoms to restoring real quality of life.

She combines the precision of a highly trained interventionalist with the warmth of a physician who genuinely cares.
