  • April 18, 2024

    I had to wait 1 hour and 8 minutes to see provider 25 minutes after appointment just to be called back. Everyone's time is important that's why we make appointments. I missed work without pay to visit this dr.

    Great

  • April 17, 2024

    I had an outstanding experience at my first ever appointment with Dr. Jeffrey Padalecki. I could not have been better served by any other medical professional regarding my treatment. Dr. Padalecki is an absolutely responsive medical doctor who came into the exam room totally prepared, having studied my 3 MRIs, my EMG, and notes from previous medical professionals. Dr. Jeffrey devoted his attention to all the details that my wife and I presented to him regarding my case. I came out confident that we are moving in the right direction regarding my case.
