Dr. Jay Padratzik, MD

Seriously, worst doctor ever. After delivering my daughter in August 2022, he didn’t deliver my placenta. (FULLY) Which led into severe infection, and hemorrhaging. After delivery, and healing my mistake Went back to get an IUD. 6 hours after placing the IUD I was in the emergency room having an emergency surgery because the IUD perforated the uterus and went into my stomach! He then documented how I handled the procedure very well. Even though I was screaming at him the whole time to get it out! I immediately felt something wasn’t rightOn top of all the other issues. Seriously, worst doctor ever!!

I had my child in 2018 which ended up being an emergency c section. He was so caring and held my hand letting me know we got this and it will be okay. He was right. I moved out of state and have not seen Dr P since.. I saw him recently and he remembered my babies name asking how she is doing. He also remembers my husbands name and asked how he was doing as well. I let him know that my husband sadly passed away.. the way he looked at me was like his heart broke and he actually felt my pain. this man is the best dr and I feel like he is my family. Love love love him so much!!! I absolutely recommend him to everyone

Dr. Padratzik has been my OB-GYN for the last 6/7 years and I have to say, he provides the best care in all my appts. He is compassionate and caring and he is my favorite doctor.

The best & passionate OB you can ever come across !! I love love love Jay !! I would recommend to every woman who’s looking for an OB ..

He is compassionate and caring. He is down to earth. He doesn’t look down on you because you keep popping out kids. He is such an amazing human. I got my own personal nickname lol. He explained that he couldn’t tell the future but then would say that he is going to pay attention and keep us safe. He would give me statistics of his work to calm me down. Every pregnancy was like a death sentence but I made it through. My 5th som had 6 of 8 markers for Down syndrome, and dr P kept assuring me not to worry. My son came out without Down syndrome. High risk sonograms showed these findings. He kept calming me down. My son was born to bohemian Rhapsody, because my doctor is the bomb and plays music the entire time. He talks to you the whole procedure. He shook my bf hand in the elevator when my bf went to get the other to meet bubby. He’s IS AN ANGEL! If I ever had another he would be my doctor but I’m done. Thank you for keeping me alive. I am forever grateful and will never forget you!!!

Best Dr. ever, I always feel comfortable with the nurses and Dr. P on my visits. I’ve seen him since ‘09 an would never change. He spends the time with you to understand and is super informative. I don’t know what I’d do without him. I take my daughter here and she has anxiety around men and she adores him. He makes it easy to talk about the uncomfortable things women go through. Care, compassion, happy staff and the best inpatient hospital care, he makes the time for his patients. Blessed to have found him especially since I have so many issues. Have I mentioned the staff? Just love these people

There is no OB better than this man. He delivered four children for me and held my hand before I went into surgery for a pregnancy loss. He held my hand until I fell asleep on the table. He has the best bedside manner that I could ever ask for. I simply can’t say enough about him.

Appointment felt rushed. Explained treatment options on very general terms and provided very limited information when asked for more information. Seemed confident that I would recover quickly and easily from surgery based on my age and body weight. I had to follow up with office / hospital aggressively to get surgery scheduled and get the information I needed to prepare for surgery. No information was given to me on how to arrange consult with anesthesiologist if needed before day of surgery. Scar was 2 inches bigger than I was told it would be. Had major complications from anesthesia and intubation. Recovery care was sub par and traumatizing. Was difficult to get follow up appointments, additional testing, and FMLA paperwork when requested.

Dr. Padrazik is a wonderful doctor! He is kind, he listens, he is very knowledge and calm. I have felt very safe in his care for me and my 2 babies over the past 4 years. It is stressful to be pregnant and his confidence and kindness has really helped. He delivered my baby girl via c-section during the recent COVID outbreaks. My husband and I were very worried and stressed and he and his hospital team at Mercy did an amazing job! I would highly recommend him

I love Dr. "P" he is the best. Ive had 2 past pregnancies but this one he really made my memorable. He's the first doctor I've encountered than I felt was genuine he has become family

Dr. Padratzik is one of the increasingly rare doctors that really listens, makes you feel heard, and takes the time to thoroughly answer every question (no matter how many there are or how trivial they may seem!)—I can honestly say that I have never once felt rushed during an appointment. The other thing that, in my opinion, puts him a step above the rest, is the way he involves the patient in their own care. Some doctors will simply tell you what they intend to do and that’s the end of it—but Dr. Padratzik has always made a point of presenting information on all the various options, sharing his opinions, and then asking for my thoughts. In this specialty, where you’re dealing with such personal decisions as when to start a family, trying to get pregnant, how to deal with infertility, etc., that is truly an invaluable quality.

Dr. P is awesome! My husband and I moved to St. Louis a year ago and had no clue who to choose as an OB. So many people recommended Dr. Padratzik and I did some research before I made a decision. He truly cares about you and will make sure everything goes well through your pregnancy journey. He is very intelligent & helpful. I always left my appointments with every question answered. We had an amazing birth experience because of him. All I can say is my husband and I are grateful we found him.

Dr. Padratzik is an exceptional doctor and person. I had endoscopic surgery and it went well with no complications. He is truly a gift. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. Dr. Padratzik is compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable at the same time. a rare combination to find in one person!

Dr. Padratzik is amazing. He is fun, caring, and he makes you feel that you are important to him. He delivered all four of my kiddos. He its amazing!! Its just a little hard to get into to see him but he is awesome.

Dr. P delivered my twin daughters! He is great with building your trust with him! He makes you feel comfortable. He thoroughly answers any questions you have. You never feel rushed during an appointment with him. He truly cares about every single one of his patients! Best obgyn ever!!

I was recommended to him by a family friend about 4 or more years ago. I was having fertility issues. I was nervous about a male doctor and so was my husband but after that first appointment that fear was no longer there. He explained everything and said "we are going to figure this out!" So comforting to hear that!! And now I am on my third baby!! I recommend him to everyone I come across because he Is such a phenomanol doctor!! Truly the best doctor i have ever had!!!

This doctor is phenomenal! He explains everything in great detail so that you are educated about your health. He is knowledgeable and very caring. Excellent doctor!
