My time is also valuable and important I was scheduled to go to surgery today for myself trying to care for my son prior to going and when I questioned the staff where the doctor was they said she doesn't come till 930 sometimes they don't really know so their lack of knowledge and training to help someone who's trying to care for their child is very unsettling and disappointing Her staff is very unprofessional they come off like teenagers and they have no clue what to do in the case of an emergency. That being said and I've had this problem with her one other time and this is my last time I am now switching doctors for my children. I feel if she doesn't feel that peoples times are valuable and she's tired and doesn't wanna open till later than she should just do that.

I absolutely loved Dr. Barbadillo and so did my children. We had been seeing Dr. Barbadillo for…read moreover 7 years and she and her staff were always so friendly, helpful, and caring 100% of the time. When my youngest was born, I took him in for the post 3 day follow up and Dr. Barbadillo right away told me he had a heart murmur which Sharp Mary Birch failed to catch after delivery. Dr. Barbadillo right away made a referral to the Rady's Children Hospital Cardiologist and apparently it was pretty sever enough to have to get seen every 1-2 months, had to take medication, and had a surgical procedure completed at the age of 2. I really appreciated her entire support throughout the years and she always remembered every detail about every single one of my children and I have 4 children. Throughout the years she would allow me to take all four of my kids in one visit, which made it extremely convenient considering me and my husband both have full-time jobs and juggle life with four children. Thank you Dr. Barbadillo and the entire staff for all your support and care throughout the years. It is very unfortunate that my insurance coverage has changed and I now need to get treatment for my entire family at Kaiser Permanente, I will miss you all.

She is an older physician and has lost the joy and patience in treating children. The word miserly comes to mind: My son had to see an oncologist at Children's hospital several times throughout the year and Children's would send Dr. Cohen's office updates via fax after his oncology visits yet during my son's annual visits she would complain that Children's wasn't sending her any updates. Come to find out that Children's kept all their fax confirmations to Dr. Cohen so when I questioned the office, one of the medical assistants told me that Dr. Cohen keeps the fax turned off unless she is expecting to receive something in order to save money. In addition, my son got sick unexpectedly and I asked the office to phone in a prescription order to a pharmacy out of the area where I had worked and the medical assistant had to use her personal cell phone to accommodate me since they were not allowed to make long distance calls from the office phone. Seriously? I was so happy when open enrollment came around and I switched pediatricians.

My teenage son, who sadly will outgrow pediatrics in a couple years, really likes Dr. Padilla. Says "he's cool". I think it's important for your kids to actually like and feel comfortable with their pediatrician. Dr. Padilla is very easy going and easy to talk to. He actually conversates with your kid to get to know them better and help them feel a little more relaxed during exams. He's humorous but also very thorough with his diagnosis and explains it to my son like he's an adult but in a way that my son understands. Highly recommend him if he's still accepting new patients.
