I've been seeing Dr. Partida since I was 16 years old over 19 years now. She has always been a caring Dr. She was like a mother when I had issues and assisted me with very difficult decsisions in my teen years.
Dr. Partida did my ovarian cyst surgery when I was 16 years old and then 17 years later delivered my first child through c-section. Very special to both of us! :)
She is a very real and down to earth person. She may come across harsh, but sometimes the truth is hard to hear. I'd rather have the truth then have a doctor paint another picture for me. I've seen Dr. Partida when she's able to spend more time in the room with me and chat and I've seen her when she is super busy and not have all the time to sit there and chat. That doesn't mean she is not a good doctor that just means there is a very high demand for her whether it be a busy schedule, surgery or someone going into labor. Nobody is perfect nor is any doctors office. Dr. Partida is human just like the rest of us and goes through the same life issues the rest of us go through whether it be personal or financial. I've seen her at her best and worst. I've been in her office and been treated great and in and out, but I've also been there when they were super busy and I've sat in a room for an hour and a half because her nurse forgot about me. That is the one bad experience I had. Will I always remember that time...yes, but it was one time and I can overlook it and move on. She's a very very smart woman! She may not be for everyone, but I'm glad she's my OBGYN and can't wait for her to deliver my 2nd child when that time comes. No she may not remember everything about you that you are expecting her to remember about you when you see her, but she see thousands of patients. We use to joke during my visits because neither of us could remember which ovary she removed...the left or the right. She told me which one it was when she delivered my daughter and heck I can't remember today which one it was! I can't imagine multi-tasking all the things she must juggle on a day to day basis. She's great! Dr. Partida isn't for everyone as it is in any life situation. All personalities are different and you have to find the person or Dr. you connect with. :) read more
