I called into office with a concern of a personal friends’ young daughter. She was in her young 20’s with 2 melanoma previous diagnosis’s. My friends child not feeling well, exhibited a facial rash and at college had a PET that showed suspicious sinus lesion and need for biopsy. Dr. Padyha was on the ball and called me personally. He was attentive, caring and he expedited the consult to help understand and learn more. He pushed up the appointment time and I feel blessed that we are seeing him. He even texted me the dial in link after hours to ensure I understood the directions. Went the extra mile and so thrilled to see him!

His bedside manner was unprofessional and curt. Had zero empathy.

The front office staff was friendly...his personal nurse is a bit condescending. I had some concerns and she spoke to me as if I was bothering her...now forgive me if I am scared, nervous and full of doubt...I thought nurses were supposed to care and ease your mind. As far as scheduling...HUH...The paperwork I was given stated "You will be contacted in the next 3-5 business days, if you do not receive a call...call XXX". On the 6th business day I called and left a voicemail. On the 8th business day, I left a voicemail - I finally get a call back - literally on my drive home (4:40pm) and right before the weekend. When I called to return THAT call I was told...well, you were called and YOU did not answer.

The only problem I have with Dr. Padhya is the 3 hour wait time in the waiting room for a 5 minute visit.

Very long wait, but well worth it. Superb office staff and pretty good discussion with the doctor. He spends the time once he gets to you. There were people standing in the waiting room but all were happy to wait to see him. Just had a benign thyroid condition and it was well cared for.

Came highly recommended by my daughter's neurosurgeon. She was supposed to have skin cancer inside her ear removed by a dermatologist but the neurosurgeon insisted, due to her cancer history, that a head neck surgeon would be more qualified. He contacted this doc who saw her promptly and arranged the surgery. He was very clear about the surgery before and after and I feel confident for a good recovery.
