    Dr Padavan is one of the best doctors I have been fortunate enough to see in the AHS system. He is incredibly caring, never rushes, truly listens and has a great way of explaining what is wrong and next steps. If he were an internist rather than an orthopedic specialist, he would be my primary doctor.
