His areas of interest include body contouring, breast aesthetic surgery, facial rejuvenation, and reconstructive surgery.
Had lipo section and ab etching 24 hours ago. So far so good, limited discomfort. Dr Padilha, his anesthesiologist Dr Mooruth (who really is excellent), Diana the RN and the entire staff were fantastic. Obviously, it is too early to comment on the final result, but the experience was top notch and I felt like I was in excellent care with a skilled surgeon and top-notch anesthesiologist. Based upon my experience thus far Dr Padilha clearly is five stars.
Because we are on the Key Care plan, we were sent to Roseacres Hospital which was a waste of time. They didn't have the equipment or the staff to handle my case. I have a defibrillator in my chest so I lay for 10 hours in the ward until they told me they couldn't help me. So I went home and cried my eyes out. My daughter-in - law phoned Sunninghill Hospital and got me an appointment with Dr. Padilha. He was absolutely wonderful in his treatment of me before he cut the malignant melanoma out and afterwards as well. I feel I owe my life to Dr Padilha. A more caring doctor I have yet to meet!
I had my breast implants done at this clinic. I chose Sunninghill because I wanted Dr Padilha to perform the surgery. I’m very happy with my new breasts, and I wouldn’t mind using this hospital for future treatments. There was one issue regarding the price, though. Dr Padilha assured me I’d only need to pay his fee, but then the hospital sent us an extra bill. The situation is being looked into. This was the only glitch during my entire experience. I thought the hospital was really good, and my doctor was first-class. I had one follow-up afterwards, and the Dr Padilha told me I could give him a call if I had any issues or questions. I’ve been to quite a few other hospitals, so I know Sunninghill is brilliant. If the doctor prescribes any medication, there’s even a pharmacy in the hospital and you can just pop down to go and buy it. It’s such a good place to receive treatment; I always feel so comfortable here.
The consultation was amazing, he understood what I wanted to achieve and explained everything (also giving me options). I’m actually writing this review because I need to go for another treatment and I choose to see this doctor again because of how comfortable he made me feel.
I did breast augmentation. Wow, he a splendid job, even my mom loves my new babies.
Had my BBL in March 2021. Everything went well and I am happy with my results.
Had breast reduction surgery and Dr Padilha did a fantastic job. I feel so much lighter and more comfortable in my body. My scaring is minimal and I couldn't be happier with the results. Definitely, the best surgeon to go to.
From the receptionist to the dr, the welcome was amazing. I appreciate how Dr Filipe made me feel at home, consulted me and made me feel at ease. I'm happy with everything and thanks again Dr Filipe. See you soon!
Did a keloid removal surgery with Dr. Filipe and he was very patient and considerate. He and his staff made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. Best part is that I didnt see any blood during and after the surgery. It was almost as if they were covering up a crime scene hahahaha. Will see how the follow-up sessions go, but so far so good.
Happy with my lip filler but will be returning soon to give it more of a discreet “plump pouty” lift on the fleshier part of the lips. Excellent bedside manner. Very good advice / suggestion on various procedures I enquire about. Highly recommended!
