I could tell from my first visit what kind of doctor he is. Didn't even look like a doctor's office. It was filthy. Patient room looked like a stock room. He has a God complex. Didn't listen to me. Acted like he knew everything about me on my first visit and diagnosed me with things I never heard of and after only seeing him for 10 minutes, walked out with narcotics. I certainly wouldn't want to get any injections in my spine in that filthy place! I recommend you save your time and NOT see him! Trust me you will end up worse!

I went to Dr Padda for close to 5 years. He made statements of treatments that would help treat and resolve my chronic pain, leading me on from day one. He was generous with the pain pills requiring you to fill them only through the pharmacy downstairs in the building he owned and controlled. He installed a Spinal Cord Stimulator, an Intrathecal Pain Pump all of which I had no relief from my chronic lower and mid back pain. At the same time he had me taking 4 or 5 class 2 narcotics which also offered no long term relief from chronic pain. Once I began to express my concern of no pain relief, he made me wait longer and longer to to be seen by him at scheduled appointments. He would walk out of the room claiming he had a phone call answering his cell phone in the midst of my concerns, leave the room stating he’d be right back, never to return and I’d be shuffled out of the exam room by a nurse advising he is finished with me. I advised them I had questions to be answered by him and they’d say he’s with another patient. One time I had an Appointment at 8:00 am - the first of his day. I was there, waiting he didn’t show up until 9:30 and he started seeing other patients first. I kept asking about it and he ignored me until 10:30. Meantime I’m trying to work and having to take off work for these Dr Appointments. I expressed to Dr Padda the expense and the unreasonable treatment he’s put me through and he walked out on me again claiming he would return shortly. He did not. He never spent any reasonable time during appointments (I discovered he was booking 4 appointments per 15 minutes at once). He performed the expensive procedures and I found later on he didn’t do those correctly. He implanted a spinal cord stimulator with the leads not parallel which is one reason it never worked for blocking pain. He implanted an intrathecal Pain pump which never worked in relieving pain because it leaked out the drugs outside of the spinal sac. He tricked me into getting the permanent pump by stating he would only close off the hole in my spinal sac leaking spinal fluid which caused the severe headache if he installed the permanent pump. After no relief from chronic pain, extensive bill’s from him and his procedures and still taking all those addictive drugs, I had to stop going to him, take myself off the drugs, go through the withdrawals, meamwhile still trying to hold a job and support my family. A couple years later after I quit going to him, I received a bill from a hospital that didn’t belong to me. I refused to pay the $24, and they sent me a bill from a bill collector for $1724. I refused to pay that and eventually they stopped. I hired a different Pain Dr. To remove both the pain pump and spinal cord stimulator which never worked to relieve my pain. I still possess the ex-rays proving the improper placement of the expensive devises. Dr Padda constantly addressed my by the wrong name convincing me he didn’t know who he was treating and most likely billing me for someone else’s stuff. He needs to be treated like he had been treating me and maybe experience a rude awakening. We’ll see if this gets posted, that’ll show who controls this site.
