Love this place. I’m very busy so not having to wait long periods of time is a huge plus for me at Padgett. I’ve always been seen within moments of my scheduled appointment. The staff is very friendly and professional. My go to gal is Vanessa, I so love her personality and how thorough she is.

I had a great experience here. The nurses were VERY friendly. I had a wonder experience with Vanessa as well. I went in 2019 and had amazing results. Stick to the diet that is given and you’ll do great.
