I had Oophorectomy. Awesome surgeon. He has a great personality. He is genuine. Doctor Padilla is a real professional, he can properly and clearly communicate the information requested on upcoming procedures. He is thorough, professional and knowledgeable. I can't recommend him enough.

I wouldn't have given him one star, if there was that option. Doesn't follow up with patients. NUMEROUS "complications" with patients after surgery. I don't know how the hospital can afford to keep this liability. PLEASE ask around before you or a loved one goes to this doctor. A good doctor would be happy to give you referals. Ask him about his history and what happens to his patients after surgery.. or ask someone that works in surgery (nurses, aides, surgery techs). Be INFORMED people, it's your health and you deserve quality care.

I had a nasty wound that would not heal. I went to several other doctors and Dr. Padilla stuck with me and was very persistent in figuring out why my wound would not heal. It is now healed and I am back to a normal life.
