Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

I don't have many to compare to. Even though she was under a time restraint (as all doctors are), she still talked and listened to my Issues. I understood going In I wouldnt really get much help besides medication recommendations. It was very to the book. But she was also open, kind, and helpful.

Dr. Padilla has been my neurologist for around 5 years. She patiently listened to me, gave me alternative to improve my health. She is a native Spanish speaker, making my process easy to understand. In the las couple of years she has handled my migraines, one of the main symptoms of my pre-menopause process.
