“I highly recommend Dr. Paddu. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, listened and personable. I felt he truly is invested in my long term health and not just a billable dollar. His staff was just as kind. My appointment reminded me of what Drs. Appointments use to be like. He is adopting a new age medicine. I am so glad I found him. ”

Verified patient
I was looking for a primary care doctor for an end-of-year visit and found this provider on Zocdoc. While reviews helped, my decision was mainly based on the doctor’s education, specialization, location, and availability. I’m very glad I chose this office. The experience was excellent from start to finish. The front desk staff and nurse were friendly, professional, and welcoming. The appointment was on time, parking was easy, and everything ran smoothly. The doctor was impressive—modern in his approach, well spoken, and easy to communicate with. He listened carefully, explained things clearly, and respected my vegan lifestyle when making recommendations. Overall, a very positive and smooth experience. I would confidently recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and patient-centered primary care provider.
Verified patient
It was an incredible experience and extremely professional. I felt heard and seen and all my needs were met. I’m determined to express my gratitude to all of my family members. I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend everyone to this facility.
Verified patient
There is a reason he has constant availability. Additionally, I can only surmise the reason he is constantly late- despite having so much availability- is because he is otherwise occupied authoring suspiciously-timed false 5-star Google reviews instead of meaningfully (or at all) addressing the issues contained within truthful ones. This practice is a disorganized disaster that evidently remains deeply committed to remaining so. You, and your health, deserve much better.

Was expecting a more standard "take you clothes off" examination. but maybe that comes later. had to call a couple of times and am still a little confused about what referrals I should have and how to book them. but the conversation was frank and informative. I felt that dr Padeen was interested in finding out what my health goals are and being a partner in meeting them.
Verified patient
Dr. Paddu and his staff are very professional, yet personable at the same time. Didn’t get that stodgy/cold feeling you typically get when seeing the doctor. They were warm, engaging, caring, and sincere. They listened to my problems/issues and offered possibilities and reasoning, as well as a clear path forward to get to the root of it. Would recommend to others who are having medical issues.
Everyone and everything was great
Verified patient
Me a new patient, pleased with entire experience. Doctor and the staff very personable, very clear and precise with overall visit, health recommendations. Have multiple follow up visits, good feeling to have found medical care I’m comfortable with and trust moving forward this aging process.

I was scheduled for a telehealth visit at 4:30pm today. I told I would receive an email with instructions on how to join the call today, but I did not. I also received a message at 2:01 confirming this appointment. I attempted to call multiple times I reached an individual 4:48 (18 minutes after I was scheduled). At this time I was informed my visit was cancelled without informing me. The visit still appears as schedule on my end.

Everyone was very professional. Dr. Paddy was very knowledgeable. I am grateful to have found a doctor that I am comfortable with.
Verified patient
This was my first primary care in fifteen years and it proved to me how right I was to avoid it. The doctor himself had his own agenda and the primary reason I was there wasn't addresses furthermore his staff grossly mishandled my paperwork for work and got me fired. The height of gross negligence. If this was the last doctors office on earth id suggest you take up medicine
Great experience
Verified patient
As I’ve mentioned before, Dr. Paddu and his staff are exceptional. They provide thorough, compassionate care while maintaining a welcoming and efficient environment. From check-in to consultation, everything is seamless, and I always feel heard and well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Paddu to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician!

I had a great experience, probably the best experience I've had with a primary. It was nice and clean. It smelled good, chill vibe and everyone was so nice and attentive. I felt heard and understood. I've had some really bad experiences before so coming here and having this experience was impressive. Excited to continue coming here for my medical needs.
Verified patient
First time I got there I was so surprised with the waiting room, it just looks so chill and relaxing, not like the usual waiting areas that makes your anxiety run miles. I’m glad I found Dr. Paddu.
Verified patient
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Paddu in person for the first time today, and I can confidently say it was the best medical experience l've ever had. Dr. Paddu and his staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and professional. He took the time to thoroughly listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and never once made me feel like I was a burden. His genuine care for his patients is evident, as is his depth of knowledge and expertise. As a medical professional myself, I know how difficult it can be to find truly exceptional care, but Dr. Paddu is exactly the kind of physician you hope to find. If you're looking for a doctor who genuinely listens, cares deeply about his patients, and provides exceptional care, I cannot recommend Dr. Paddu highly enough.

First, I would check with your insurance provider to see how much they actually cover for a doctor visit. It will save you time and concern. Paddu was attentive and considerate and efficient. However, I felt like he used medical jargon and could’ve spoke in more Laymans terms to seem more approachable and generally be easier to understand . Going to a new doctor for some people can be a rougher transition so being able to level with your doctor is important. I felt like he took my concerns seriously and that’s all I can ask for. For those who are looking into a new doctor he’s not just a primary care doctor. He does a lot of other things such as weight loss treatment. Paddu would be categorized as an internist so he specializes in preventative care, which is amazing to have readily available. I came into the appointment a little hesitant. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next appointment will be like. Also, the front desk was very sweet and considerate.
Dr. Paddu is an outstanding physician who truly cares about his patients. During my visit, he took his time to thoroughly address all my concerns and answered every question I had with clarity and patience. His depth of knowledge and ability to reference the latest medical literature gave me great confidence in his recommendations. The experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I highly recommend Dr. Paddu to anyone seeking a compassionate and highly skilled doctor.

I needed a new family doctor after my insurance changed and I will definitely be going here. Brandy, at the front desk, welcomes you with a smile and knows who you are when you come in (even though this was my first time there). She is also the one that took me back to do my vitals and put me in a room to wait for the doctor. She is so friendly and makes you feel at ease. The wait was short and when the doctor came in, he was just as nice. I’ve had a lot of medical issues over the years and new doctors don’t always take the time to find out what is going on. Dr. Paddu was not like that. He reassured me that he would take the time to figure out everything going on and come up with solutions. He said we’ll take everything one step at a time. He really made me feel like he listened and is concerned. It’s been a while since I’ve found a doctor like that. I was scheduled for bloodwork and he explained what my next appointment would look like. Getting an appointment there was quick and easy.
