I gave 5 stars because Dr. Padda I feel save my life. Dr. Padda testes for all things when you 1st starts and he was the one that find out I was allergic to wheat and I take it back to stomach Doctor's that had no ideal what was wrong with me. Dr Padda might fuss at me but its because he cares about my weight he don't get paid anymore or any less for that. Dr Padda does that because he cares and want better for all his patients. He have a kind HEART I just hate the way his patients treat him and his staff when they all trying to help usread more

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Padda for the past nine years. During that time he has successfully brought me from walking with a cane living on disability to the full time working individual I am today. I’ve a newfound sense of self worth and zeal for life. Thank you Dr Padda for providing valuable high end treatment options to people who would not otherwise receive such care if it weren’t for you. I have the utmost respect for you.read more

When I came to Dr Padda I was 5'10-5'11. One year later I was 6'2". I had been hunched over because of pain and muscle spasms and bone spurring and disc and marrow degeneration. My spinal disease was so severe that I had almost given up on life, love, friends, and family. There was no hope for me. Once I started noticing improvement like being able to walk farther than a block without falling or having to sit down or blacking out, I knew that I was being given a second chance to pursue happiness on my own terms. I felt liberated from the torture that had befallen me and affects so many countless others. Dr Padda is extraordinarily observant and referred me to a cardiologist and neurologist and has helped me to balance and maintain my health as a whole. I am 33 years old and about a year and a half ago I felt like I was 330 years old. I am tremendously grateful for Dr Padda and all the specialists and affiliates and their expertise. They are a team who will battle against the adversity you face alongside you, and apply a holistic approach as well as medication and injections to alleviate pain that can be debilitating to even the most stubborn or tough person. I feel like I am in good hands, and my family and friends notice the difference and improvement every time they see me and hear me speak. I now feel like I can follow my dreams and aspirations and take on the world with confidence and build my future one diamond cornerstone at a time.read more

What a shit show!!! These people are all about doing and not listening to what the problem is. Quick to give a shot in the joint and send you on the way. I sat in the waiting room for 3 hours. My time is just as important as theirs. I have never been treated as bad as this location. You'll never see Dr. Padda. There is another doctor there and when you pickup your prescription up its signed by another doctor. AMA needs to investigate.read more

I love the doctors at the Padda institute ! It’s very nice to have doctors you can trust , because they treat their patients like they would treat their friends or family. And to people like me , Dr Padda is a rockstar being on the news and stuff. I travel about an hour for my visits and it is totally worth it to have doctors you know care and are knowledgeable. Those of us that have unfortunately have had to deal with multiple doctors due to medical issues can appreciate a medical team like that , and I very highly recommend them , Dr Padda especially.read more

I have been going to Dr Padda for 2 years and the overall treatment is fabulous. I can walk now. I went to apply for my medical marijuana card and Dr Padda made it so easy. I was so impressed with the ease of getting this application finished. I was in and out in 35 minutes. I would like to thank Dr. Padda very much.read more

I have been coming to Dr. Padda since 2008. He has helped me in so many different ways Then other pain institutions I previously went to and I am happy that I found him. I would recommend to everyone come to see him first and save time. He takes the time to get to your pain problems personally and not just treat pain in general.read more

I have been a patient of Dr.Padda for 4 yrs now and I have always enjoyed my interactions with him as a patient. He has educated me on ways to help alleviate pain without the use of more medicine. I have a very comfortable and friendly relationship with Dr.Padda which is a huge plus with me because it’s not everyday a doctor takes the time to make sure you’re fully aware of all the options available to you.read more

When i first started coming to Dr.Padda i had migraine headaches on a daily. I had been through so much medication and different treatments but nothing helped or worked. I came to Dr. Padda and things change for the better. His office began to see me whenever i would have a migraine which was almost everyday. I began getting injections that helped some. There was one treatment called SPG that helped me so much. I began to get relief one day at a time. It had been so long since i had been without a migraine that i didn't know how to act. Now i don't have migraines as much as i use to. Some weeks i may not even have a migraine. I also have back and knee problems but i haven't had the pain that i use to have. Dr. Padda is a hard working dr. That listens to your problem, works to solve them and does his job to the fullest. I am glad to have come into his office for help because it was/is really worth the time.read more

Dr. Padda has opened up my eyes to the way my body really works. I have lost over 45 pounds in the 9 mouths I have been seeing him and that is with little working out. Teaching me how to eat right and what to eat has helped me a lot. Teaching me how to take care of my body has opened up my mind to knew things. I'm walking better and more active now... Thank you Doc!!read more

I would like to commend Dr. Padda on his service to me for over the last 10 or so years. Nose to nose, toe to toe, happy or sad days. He has reached down, quickly and helped the pain and any other issue with lots of care behind the results. All of these things makes a huge difference. Ive lost over 100 pounds or more since I started coming here! I feel better physically and mentally thanks to Dr. Padda. More people should experience his service, of course there's not enough of him!!!!read more

The Padda Institute has been a major and great relief in my pain management since I started coming here for help. I have been going through major back, neck and hip issues for years and thanks to Dr. Padda and his staff I have been able to function better than I have in years. Dr. Padda is very knowledgeable in his field and his staff is great and do their best to accommodate the patients.The pro therapy is excellent and I deeply appreciate all that they do for me. I visit their office twice a week and for chiropractic therapy and I appreciate that they listen to their patients and have always had a good experience with them. 😎read more
