Dr. Padilla understands communication is an essential part of healthcare.

"Listening, communicating and caring, with just the right amount of lightheartedness, is my philosophy, not only in medical practice, but in life." Dr. Padilla works hard to share her gift of medical knowledge. "Education and teaching are important facets of my life. Through my work with students at the UCSF School of Medicine I am able to give back to my profession and to help patients who struggle with access to quality healthcare."

Dr. Padilla was born and raised in Sanger and treasures her relationship with her family, particularly with her nephews, Eric and Daniel. She also enjoys searching for antiques, traveling, and attending community events.
