Dr. John Joseph Padavano, DO

WOW, he had no idea what was wrong with me and rudely told me there was nothing he could do for me, all while I could barely walk or sit! He charged me a ton of $ (which I paid) for a basic office visit and xray. I found a much better Dr. who diagnosed me properly and fixed me with spine surgery.

It's taken me a while to write this review, but with a good reason. During a game of football with some friends on a Saturday Afternoon in November, I tore the ACL in my right knee, along with various other things in the vicinity. At the time I was an avid runner, running 40-50 miles per week. Surgery was my only option. Dr. Padavano was beyond accommodating and clear during discussions of my options. Ultimately, I had chosen his suggestion which probably proved to be the best one. Now, a full 18 months post surgery, I'm back to training for triathlons and just completed the longest and most difficult race yet. I don't even consider the limitations with my surgically repaired knee because there aren't any. I would hope not ever to have to go through that difficult an injury again, but if I did, my decision of where to go would be an easy one. Thank you for giving me my life back.

Padavano was awesome, prompt, informative, confident, knowledgeable. I would go back to him, and his Physical Therapist in a second as long as they have a new finance person who does medical billing. That woman was a bossy, know it all, and didn't listen. I wrote to dr P and never heard back. She screwed up my insurance and was NOT willing to discuss it, she overcharged me. I was short over $500. Wonder how many others she has done this to?
