    My experience with Dr. Padavan and the office and nursing staff was excellent. The X-ray technician was also excellent. Very professional, empathic, and cordial. I had a fluid drain and injection in my knee. Dr. Padavan and the nursing assistant were supportive and made the experience as good as it possibly could have been. One day, post visit, my knee is feeling better. I am very grateful.
