Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Dr Padilla is a great listener and spends time with each patient. He has a vast medical knowledge. I often ask him about things not within his field & he still knows the answer. He is connected to a whole chain of great doctors should any other issues arrive. Dr. Padilla is very intelligent, has a sense of humor, and has monitored my thyroid (prescriptions & diet) as well as other issues (cholesterol, vitamin levels, calcium) & has kept me healthy for over 17 years. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Padilla is highly intelligent, caring, has a great sense of humor and, because of his excellent skills as a diagnostician, has kept me healthy for over 30 years. He is generous with his time, sharing what he knows about my medical condition and answering questions so that a layman can understand. I have referred family members to him who are all equally satisfied. He encourages an active partnership between patient and doctor to achieve a positive outcome.

Dr. Padilla is far and away the best doctor I have ever met, and nothing I can say really does him justices. I have been his patient for almost 2 years. He is an extremely intelligent, caring person, and a truly outstanding doctor. I count myself lucky to have found him.
Dr. Padilla’s style is to treat the whole person; not just the symptoms. In my case, he has treated my metabolic syndrome and discovered/treated my thyroid cancer. He discovered it when other doctor’s couldn’t put the pieces to

I was told this doctor was a genius. He certainly believes he walks on water. He trashed my other doctors, was arrogant beyond all belief and only vaguely interested in addressing the medical reason for my visit. He was much more interested in getting into all kinds of other medical issues I had that were already being adequately treated by other doctors. He spent most of the time on his computer. He prescribed a whole bunch a tests unrelated to the reason I came to see him.

Saw doctor in November 2016. Did not take medicare assignment so had to pay up front. Initial visit $244.43. This claim is in process as of January 5th. Receiving check in approximately 30 days. Second visit was November 11. Medicare sent it back for billing code error to provider. Staff is beyond awful always answering "they are too busy or have a "busy office". Spoke to Dr. himself and he gave me someone else in office "his super person". Still not in system. Beware of this office.

About Me
care philosophy
I believe it is important, of course, to treat patients as individuals. It is also crucial to do better than "the guidelines" which are all-too-often designed to provide "the best care for the price" rather than "the best price for the care." ...read morebiography
