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.

He's smart, intelligent, knows his stuff. He's also condescending, arrogant, and jumps to conclusions without letting you finish your sentences. And if you disagree with him he just talks over you, even if you can prove he's wrong.

Dr. Padilla is a phenomenal doctor. He does a great job listening to your symptoms and then taking the time to fully assess all the possibilities. He is easily the most thorough doctor I have ever worked with and was able to help me figure out the causes of my health concerns efficiently and then treat them properly. I honestly recommend him to anyone that is struggling to find a doctor that can help resolve their health issues.

Dr. Padilla is very caring and takes time to answer all questions and explain any treatment, cites evidence, and will refer you to specialist if needed. I have to disagree with previous bad reviews given to Dr. Padilla. People sometimes are just looking for the wrong treatments.

It was clear that Dr Padilla had not reviewed my file. He was patronizing and talked over me. I had to repeat things several times because he did not listen. He tried to interfere with treatment I was receiving from another specialist for another health issue, even though I told him that was off limits to him. He claimed he practices "evidence based medicine" and yet listed the American Diabetes Association as a model of evidence he follows. The ADA is 50 years behind the latest science on diabetes and recommends a high carb diet that progresses the disease. I have no respect for the ADA or Dr Padilla. He knows just enough about Lyme disease to be dangerous to any Lyme patients he might have.

I can't thank Dr. Padilla enough for saving my life. I will always be forever grateful. On my first visit he found my malignancy and got me to the right oncologist. This saved my life. Dr. Padilla is the most knowledgeable, caring physician that I have ever encounter.

Agree with others, padilla is rude, condescending, and not knowledgeable. I thought because he went to the medical school in the u.s., he might be different. Sadly, he's typical of most doctors. If you don't question, if you don't trust yourself, he loves you if he fails to solve your problem he's your worst enemy. He doesnt cite evidence. At least find a doctor that will treat you like a human being, even if you disagree.

I've been seeing Dr. Padilla for a few years now. He refers me to specialists quite often and I don't feel like he listens to my concerns. Recently I went in because I had a nail infection on my thumb and it was very painful. He said he wasn't concerned with that but wanted me to see a specialist for a bump on my wrist. I had to go to the walk-in to address the thumb issue. Saw the the specialist,ganglion cyst,nothing big. So now I'm paying for 3 office visits and an x-ray.

I would have to agree with other users, he talks down to you, refuses to look at other test results from my previous, "Specialized Doctors". Says i must go see his "Specialized doctors" colleagues in his offie to do the same test that I have already had. Once again we talked about my abdominal pain that has been going on for more than 11 years. Blew that off.My previous visit he spent half an hour insisting that I am using snus/snuf.NOT! Not sure where that came from. I had gave up smoking8years
