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.

Poor customer service
I showed up 15 min early like I was told. The front desk person ignored me and talked to someone else before finally acknowledging me, the girl who took me back was polite but couldn?t find my surgery history in the computer so looked it up on my phone. She put the pressure cuff on me and wheeled away. It got so tight my hand curled and got numb. Then I waited for the doc by this Tim I had been there 45 min another 15 min I looked out the door and saw the doc sitting in his office reading the computer I left and don?t plan on going back I figure if the office visit is this bad the surgery experience will be scary

This is saying a lot but he was absolutely the worse doctor I have ever met. Went in with my wife who has a large hernia and has some other problems like back pain, breathing issues and coughing. This guy did not even look at her chart or what the nurse put in. He kept giving her wrong information about herself and the hernia. Spent maybe 5-7 minutes with us and told her he wouldn’t help her at all and wouldn’t even answer her questions at all. Trust me and find someone else.

More like The We Will Wound You and Don't Care Clinic! Dr. Padilla scrubbed an open wound without warning and absolutely zero care for the excruciating pain it caused. Then proceeded to blame me for my weight (I'm pretty sure I already knew it was a problem) and argued with me that I was not doing therapy at home... my physical therapist who has all of my numbers says very differently! I'm sure there are very many people who do not do as told, but I'm seeking your care, just as many others! Sometimes just an "I'm sorry" when you are inflicting unavoidable pain goes a long way... I literally went to my car and threw up in the parking lot from being in so much pain, then sat there shaking until I could calm down enough to drive home. Unbelievable and 100% unnecessary!
