Our Patients’ Experiences

Amber

“Gordon Padovan is an amazing surgeon. I had my gastric sleeve with him nearly 10 years ago, starting at 106kg. He has just done my tummy tuck last week. My recovery has been very easy, and I believe it is his amazing skills that have made that possible. You can tell he cares a lot about his patients. Can’t thank him enough!”

Laura

“I’ve been seeing Dr Padovan on and off for over 12 years. He has helped me when I had issues with my gastric band and never showed any judgement when I came back for a sleeve after telling him I could ‘do it on my own’! He is caring, honest, funny and I truly believe one of the best surgeons in Perth. I trust him implicitly and am grateful for him every day.”

Yasmin

“Dr Padovan is the most incredible surgeon. Not only is he so kind and caring, he is also extremely supportive, always there for his patients and so funny! I will forever be grateful to him for changing my life completely and giving me a fresh start. I have never been happier.”

Natalie

“My decision to go with Dr P in 2015 was after two years of researching, with the consensus being he was the man to have IF anything did go wrong! His aftercare was the best! Lucky for me, the op went great! Slow recovery but no issues until now, 6 years on and half my weight I lost is back on. Seeing him again for what to do next as I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

Kym

“I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with Dr Padovan. My operation and recovery was all by the book with no complications whatsoever. I love how he offers a lengthy aftercare program to ensure long term success with keeping the weight off and I absolutely love how he is always happy to answer any questions or concerns I may have. I sleeved back in September 2019 and have lost 48kg to date and maintaining.”

Jill

“My decision came about with my two friends who used Dr P, and one said to me ‘Why would you use anyone else when it was Dr P who brought bariatric surgery to WA?’ This made sense to me and they had both been very happy with their results so in I jumped and I am thrilled with my 50kg weight loss.”

Patti

“The day of surgery I was literally sick with nerves, I was vomiting from anxiety and then I was anxious that because of this my surgery wouldn’t go ahead. But from the moment I saw Dr P in the theatre, he instantly put my nerves at ease! His soft voice, kind eyes and mannerisms were just so comforting. I knew not only had I made the right decision but also been blessed with the best surgeon. Almost a year since my surgery and he’s still as kind and caring as he’s always been. I cannot praise him enough! An amazing surgeon and a true gentleman.”
