My experience with Dr Padda, a pain management doctor, was awful. He was not honest and had no compassion for me or other patients I talked with. I would avoid all his offices. And quality of his care was overshadowed by his indifference to my well being in favor of his financial advantage. read more

I went to see this doctor every two weeks for 2 years almost. Everything was ok until he actually told me I wasn't allergic to steroids. I am very allergic to steroids. He said my body produces steroids so there is no way I could be allergic to steroids. Ok... it doesn't take a doctor to know, that natural cortisol is not the same as the synthetic crap they inject you with. IT ISN'T THE SAME THING DR. PADDAH!!. I AM ALLERGIC. Well I went to see him one more time until I saw my regular doctor, she said she called and tried to get my records, she was told I wasn't even a patient there.... really? I was a patient for 2 years yet because I reported wrongful practice all of a sudden my records disappeared and I wasn't a patient. Well, if I am not a patient I guess all of those unpaid medical bills from Medicare aren't mine either. You are a fraud, you don't do as you are supposed to to bill Medicare and Medicaid properly then charge the patient out of pocket. Oh and how you treated your employee in front of patients was also very unprofessional telling her she had to pay out of her pocket for not charging us enough money to be seen in front of a whole room of people. Sincerely, not your patient anymore because I found a real pain clinic. They actually care about my health. ​ read more

Regarding:  Dr. Gurpreet Padda, St Louis, MO Inaccessible medical records from Dr. Padda. Spent 2 mmin w me. No answer to Q re MRI/ LABS. Inappropriate various mandatory charges. Unfair charges, probably close, if not, illegal. Hired and supervised Physician who inappropriately gave me, via MALPRACTICE, too frequent CAUDAL & other too frequent STEROID injectionsins. Padda is Supervisor of Dr C. According to PADDA, These injections caused excess scar tissue irritating my sciatic nerves (Straight from Padda's mouth upon looking at my chart/examining me). This, resulting in more pain & gadually, every week, less ability to walk. falls. Been @ least 3 months. I've been having trouble walking. CAUDAL # 1: 11/14, #2: 2/6, #3: 2/20. 3/5: TPI X 2 @ LUMBAR LEVEL 3/19: PADDA'S WRITING: DECREASE 4 W CAUDAL.... ILLEGIBLE...COCCYGEAL FINALLY GOT CHART CERT MAUL: 4/2: NO ANSWER 11:10 - NOT TRUE. NO CALL TO ME. CHK PHONE RECORD 4/23: "NOT ACCEPTING CALLS" NOT TRUE. CHK PHN RECORDS. 4/24: "ALL CIRCUITS BUSY" WTH. NO CALL TO ME. CHK PHN RECORDS. 1/23: R SNRB #3 L45 L5S1 12/12 L L45 SNRB #2 10/31 R IAHJI #1 10/17 BL LUMBAR TPIS 10/3: BL TRAP TPIS 9/19: R TPI #2 Padda has literallly GHOSTED me since I last saw him, April 2, 2020/end of March 2020. I left 2 or 3 messages per day in April & May. I need a Pain Specialist, which Padda is. I have no choice of getting another PAIN Specialist, due to Padda ignoring my multiple requests for MRs, any information, and ghosting me totally.  Dr. Padda, unlike at the Bridgeton location where I regularly saw Dr. C, made it MANDATORY that I see 3 different specialists in addition to himself:  1) chiropro 2) podiatrist 3) psych, at $35-$40 copayment per specialist, plus Padda's $35 copay EVERY TWO WEEKS.  I am on disability. This is an outrage:  I have no relief whatsoever. At this time I am unable to afford my monthly bills.  Just had Lumbar MRI 3/17/2020. I requested them at least 7 times and my PCP would give me pertinent records for free.  When I regularly saw C at the Bridgeton office, this "requirement" of seeing 3 separate specialists, handpicked by Padda, was NEVER made or even mentioned.  This is a farce of a mandatory "requirement".  I pleaded with his secretary in that approximate 6-8 week period, as above, April & May of 2020,"PLEASE have him or his NP call me as I'm in excruciating pain & taking excessive amounts of Ibuprofen and damaging my kidneys by doing so".  My labs, at least the ones I've had access to by my PCP, show decreasing kidney function with each lab draw.  Early April, Had appt for NP to call me for video appt, NO CALL. Realized she didnt call so told secretary who said sorry & NP'd call later that day. NO CALL. Padda was to call me 1st wk of May b/t 8 AM & 6 PM. NO CALL! Check my call log. Subpoena phone records. NO RESPONSE FROM PADDA 3 MONTHS NOW. 2 MONTHS I BEGGED FOR HELP FROM MY "DR." My pain was/is agonizing and devastating. When I wake up in the AM, I can barely walk.  My gait is noticeably poor. My legs are weakening and I am gradually losing my ability to walk. read more

I went to Dr. Pada's for about a six months. I had recently moved to the St. Louis area from California, and I didn't have many immediate choices. His office is in a slummy part of town. The building is slummy. Sometimes you need a slummy doctor. Sometimes you need to slum. And I did. You will get your medicine from this doctor, if that's what you want. That is, if you aren't a drug abuser seeking medicine to sell or for recreational purposes, you should be able to get your narcotics. That's all I wanted. I have chronic pain, and narcotics help me out instrumentally in attenuating my issues. Missouri is such a conservative state that getting narcotics can be a chore. In California, where I'm from, you can get your medicine easily and you don't have to slum. Pada is cocky. He's a money hungry doctor. He lies all the time, mostly to scare people I think, but also to spread misinformation because he thinks people won't fact check him. He did me the courtesy of filling some psych medicines such as Ativan. I was given the run around almost every time I went in. Sometimes I'd see his physician, sometimes I'd see one nurse practitioner or other, or sometimes, if he was on vacation, I'd see his assistant. Pada has the gall to ask his patients to come in every two weeks. What in God's name should I be asked to come in every two weeks for? In California, I came in once every three months and left with my 120 Hydrocodone/Apap 10/325 in triplicate. Pada was extremely rude to a family member who I had come in with me at one point because I didn't trust the family member waiting alone in his seedy waiting room. The guy can burn in hell for all I care. Burn in hell, bitch. read more

To see then next Monday. Does not care am on yelp now looking for another pain Dr. If possible avoid this Dr. Wait time always over 2 hrs. read more

This is the worst doctor I've ever seen. He's a quack. He has no bedside manner and has no time to actually listen to your cares and concerns. It seems to me that he's only in it to scam insurance companies and to inject you with whatever. I don't think he even cares about actually helping people and doing any good. read more

Yes slummy part of town depending in where you live. I live in the neighborhood. I was having pain with sciatica nerve. Lot of pain. Yes had the back injections and they really helped. Right every two weeks. Im not a junkie or a drug dealer. Long story short went in one day and he came in the office opened my file and said dont think i can help you. This is after seeing him on and off for a couple years. Says you were seen trying to getting urine from someone here. I was in shock. Told him i am not a drug abuser. To find out i was getting my pain med filled at cvs. That was a mistake. He wanted all his scripts filled downstairs. Cvs filled one but said they could not fill anymore. read more

Sickening staff. The guy who is always at the front desk and one of the billing girls were awful to me today. I told them my father just passed away and I was willing to set up a payment plan from an old bill. They wanted a $3,500 payment in full and had the nastiest attitudes. Very sick people. read more

I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was 18 years old. I have been to several different doctors and treatment providers seeking a solution that would finally lend me some type of relief. I have taken all kinds of medication, tried a chiropractor, acupuncture, etc. and nothing seemed to work. One of my co-workers recommended I try to get an appointment with Dr. Padda because he has a special technique that he does specifically for migraine headaches. Much to my surprise, I was able to get an appointment the very next day. The office was packed when I arrived but the staff were friendly and efficient. I had to wait about 15 minutes and they got me right in. Dr. Padda asked me tons of questions regarding the frequency of my headaches, severity, health history, etc. He recommended that we try an SPG - (Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block). Of course, I had no idea what that was so he explained it and it sounded EXTREMELY scary and intimidating. However, given all the pain and discomfort I have went through, i decided to try it. I came back a few days later for the procedure. it was quick and painless and for the best news - it totally worked! I still see Dr. Padda on a regular basis for follow up's and sometimes get Botox, which also helps my headaches immensely. He is a life saver for me. Highly recommend Dr. Padda - If he was able to help my headaches, I am sure he can help treat any type of pain. read more

Dr padda is a very patient & helpful doctor. When I first start coming to him it hurt to bend &a pick up my daughter I was in so much pain but through his plan I've lost weight & I can actually work a 8hr shift without wanting to cry because of the pain. I strongly recommend him read more

This Doctor is AMAZING. I have gone to so many other doctors who just tell me what i want to hear. My neck and back has hurt for as long as i remember. I went to Dr. Padda and he honestly told me it was my weight. I know others that would have been hurt by this comment but i was relieved that someone was being honest with me. He put me on a diet and a exercise program and told me to come back in 6 months. 6 months later and 20Lbs lighter my back relief was amazing! All the other doctors ive been to just gave me medicine and shots and now i dont need those! i appreciate everything Dr. Padda has done for me. read more
