Dr. Timbadia took extra time to explain what my condition was and explain in detail how to treat my condition. She asked several questions and ask me if I had any questions. She was very personable and caring. With the surgical centers closing due to the Coronavirus surgical centers were booked solid until further notice. With her networking in the medical community, she was able to have a hospital fit me in for surgery. The hospital was far from the area she is located but made the travel so the surgery could take place. Dr. Timbadia spends the extra time with all her patients and never rushes you out of the exam room. I would highly recommend Dr. Timbadia.

I had my hernia fixed two years ago and never experience any pain with this surgeon. I had it fix in the past by someone else and the recovery time was so much longer and painful.

She was very unprofessional and rude. She does not know how to talk to her patients and employees. I would not recommend her at all.

Worst doctor ever!!! Went in for follow up on operation she did, she ordered a MRI. She said MRI showed little growth and to come back in 3 months. Went back in 3 months and she said it looks like I was out of the woods. Couple days later I started having bad pain so I called to get in to see her. Her assistant told me I had been discharged, will no longer see me and hung up on me.

23yrs ago today we lost our healthy Mom who went in for a hysterectomy and left in a body bag due to Timbadia's negligence! Not only was she cocky and rude when speaking with the family, she screwed up performing the first surgery, had to cut my Mom back open causing a fatal outcome...Should have filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against her!!

Unbelievable that she practices medicine with live patients. Incredibly rude that I can't even consider whether she is a skilled surgeon!!!
