Dr. Praderio is a board certified OBGYN practicing Gynecology at Corpus Christi Spohn South and the South Texas Surgical Hospital.

  • I live 2.5 hours away and made the drive because of the amazing reviews. I was seen this morning and I am so glad my husband helped me find this clinic. I have come to dread visits after traumatic experiences with OBGYN’s in my hometown. The staff here were incredible, extremely patient and sweet. They truly make an effort to make you comfortable and confident in their team. Dr. Praderio was the kindest OBGYN I’ve ever met. She was empathetic, sweet, patient, and understanding. I went from feeling nervous in the waiting room, scared to have another traumatic experience, to walking out after the visit with a small sense of peace that I can trust my gynecologist - something I’ve never experienced before. I was amazed at the variety of services offered at the clinic. The decor is modern and the environment is calming. They even provided a small sample gift bag with a Lindt chocolate at the end of the visit. It may sound silly to mention, but little things like that make a difference. It feels nice to know that next time I return, I won’t be in that fight or flight state. I know I will feel much more comfortable now that I know I am finally in good hands. Thank you Dr. Praderio and your team for making a difference.

    Dr.Praderio and her staff are lovely as well as professional. They treated me like family. I was most impressed with how each person took the time to explain my procedure and helped make sure I would be comfortable. So glad I made the call. I will definitely keep going back for future needs.

    I cannot fully express how grateful I am for Dr PRADERIO and her staff. I had gotten to a place where my metabolism was out of service and my weight was at an all time high while my energy was at a horrible low. I won’t lie, the plan takes commitment, I had to learn to eat again (all foods) after years of weird diets. I am currently down 30 pounds with the continued support of Dr P and her nurse and I feel incredible! I am me again and that is worth every penny spent on ME! Thank you Dr P and Isabel for guiding me through and keeping me motivated! For reference I am in my 50s and was about 40 pounds overweight at the start .

    I recently underwent the Morpheus 8V and O-Shot procedures performed by Dr. Praderio, and I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional results and care I received. I am compelled to share my experience and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Praderio to anyone considering these transformative treatments. From the moment I entered the office, I was warmly welcomed by the entire staff. Dr. Praderio and Crystal, in particular, stood out for their high level of professionalism and genuine care. They made every effort to ensure I felt comfortable and well-informed about the procedures. Their attentive approach and willingness to address my questions and concerns significantly contributed to a positive overall experience. The Morpheus 8V treatment surpassed my expectations in terms of comfort. Dr. Praderio skillfully guided me through each step, explaining the procedure as it progressed. Crystal's presence and support further enhanced my comfort level. The entire process was seamless, instilling a sense of confidence that I was under the care of knowledgeable experts. The results of the Morpheus 8V treatment were nothing short of remarkable. Even after just one session, I noticed a significant improvement. Not only did I experience enhanced sensitivity in a positive way, but the treatment also effectively addressed my longstanding issue of urinary incontinence. I am overjoyed to share that I no longer rely on panty liners and can now fully enjoy my daily activities without worry or inconvenience. Equally successful was the O-Shot procedure, during which Dr. Praderio and Crystal ensured my understanding and comfort throughout. The effects of the O-Shot became apparent almost immediately, significantly enhancing my overall sexual satisfaction and well-being. The life-changing improvement I have experienced can be attributed to Dr. Praderio's skill in providing this transformative treatment. Undoubtedly, both the Morpheus 8V and O-Shot procedures were worth every penny. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Praderio and Crystal for their exceptional care, expertise, and the outstanding results I have achieved. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Praderio to anyone considering these treatments, as I have complete trust in her abilities and dedication. If you are seeking painless, effective treatments that can truly transform your life and deliver outstanding results, I urge you to consult with Dr. Praderio. You will not regret choosing her for these needs.

    Just had my first experience of laser hair removal at this office, and would highly recommend to absolutely anyone! I have heard through friends/family different experiences with laser hair removal, and was a bit nervous to try it. With the Diolaze it was virtually painless, and loved the cooling sensation during the treatment. Richard was amazing, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I am 2 weeks out from my 1st session, and already seeing small changes in my leg hair growth. Can’t wait to go back for my next session!

    I am so very thankful for Dr Praderio. No one talks about menopause. I’m here to tell you it stinks! I had been going to another Gynocologist and i kept explaining what was going on with my body but i wasn’t child bearing age so i just got told there’s nothing we can do. Finally someone told me about Dr Praderio who specializes in menopause. I absolutely feel like a new person when i received my pellets. I’m very thankful that she is very open about anything you want to know. She goes through the same thing we all do so who better to talk to then someone that will truly listen.

    At first I didn’t think this hormone pellet therapy was going to work. Oh my goodness it has worked!! With my panic and anxiety attacks my intimacy was at a low. I always felt ugly although my husband would tell me all the time I’m beautiful. I love how her staff is always communicating with me with my blood work and how I’m feeling. I wish I would’ve know about Dr. Carolina Praderio earlier.

    Growing up in a state with exceptional health care and traveling as a RN around the US in great health systems, I found myself struggling to find a good provider once I moved to the area. Dr. Praderio and her staff are truly exceptional. I am very thankful I found her as a provider. The care delivered is always above my expectation. GYN visits can be uncomfortable but Dr Praderio and her staff always make the uncomfortable a lot more comfortable than I could hope for.

    This review is way past due. If you are looking for the very best and most caring Doctor for any and all of your female related mefical needs to the very personal issues of the intimate issues that you start to experience in your later year,, look no further than Dr Praderio. Dr P and her entire staff are the most understanding and kindest I have ever had the privilege to be cared for.. You can usually tell when a Dr is genuinely concerned or just there to see another patient. From the very first time I became a patient, it was just obvious that Dr Praderio has a true passion for people and their wellbeing. Do to Insurance reasons,, there was a bit of time when I was not able to see her. I am so glad I was finally able to be a patient again., my very first visit back after nearly 3 years, literally all the personnel remembered me and it is a wonderful feeling to feel like YOUR needs are truly personalized to you. I was so happy to find out that Dr Praderio has focused on the female health that a lot of us may be embarrassed to talk about or for that matter, where to even start. If you are looking for some therapies that could include sensitive Urinary issues , or the more delicate topic of female sexuality. We ladies, and our husbands are all lucky to have this Expert in our community. Dr Praderio truly is , in my own opinion and experience the absolute BEST and KINDEST Dr I have ever had. She is a woman too, that understands and experiences the same things all of us do, Thank you Dr Praderio and your entire staff for delivering World Class medical care for me. I truly appreciate you.!!! -Tina Morin

“She was one of the most compassionate physicians I have seen in a long time. Reviewed my results and actually gave me options instead of just telling me what to do. I have already sent my daughter and sister to her. Great doc!”

I have been going to Dr. Praderio since the summer of 2017, when she changed my life for the first time. I was having hormonal issues-night seats, moodiness, hot flashes, etc. She recommended the bio-identical hormone pellets and I have been on the program every 4 months and no longer have the hormone issues I was having.
Then in January 2019, I went to Dr. Praderio about my energy/metabolism level. I noticed I was always hungry and had no energy. I was swimming 4 times a week and following the Adkins diet meal plan lifestyle. I wasn’t able to get that last 20 pounds off. It didn’t matter how much I exercised or ate…I still couldn’t get the weight off. Then Dr. Praderio informed me of her Healthy Lifestyle Plan involving Lipo-B & Vitamin B12 shots. I was ready to start anything to get the weight off and have energy to swim the 4,000 yards I wanted to swim without feeling exhausted before I even got into the pool. I was able to lose the 23 pounds in 4 months following the lifestyle plan-using the my fitness pal application to chart my meals, getting the weekly shots and continue my swimming. I now feel amazing, and according to my husband, look amazing too. I have recommended Dr. Praderio to several of my friends and they are seeing the same results for their hormones and/or weight loss. Even my husband Kevin, felt like his testosterone level wasn’t where it should be so when he found out Dr. Praderio helps men too. He immediately had her start him on the Bio-identical hormone pellets for men. This has changed my husband’s life also. He has more energy and stamina. I would recommend Dr. Praderio and will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

I started that is weight loss journey last year, and since then I have learned many helpful tips Dr. Praderio. I told myself that I had to lose at least 20 pounds before I turn 30, and here I am still trying to accomplish my goal. When I first stepped on the scale, I was in shock. I knew that I had to do something about it, and especially because I had the support of Dr. Praderio, the staff, and patients who started with me. I started out on a 1,200 calorie a day and thought to myself this is going to be hard, but I knew that I had to try. With the help of the app helping me count my calories, it became easier for me to choose what to eat. Then I realized that it was not all about eating salads, there was much more of a variety. With the help of skinnytaste.com, I found so many healthy recipes that were within my calorie range. I bought a food scale from H-E-B, and began weighing my food. Each Friday as many of you know, I would step on the scale and was very excited when I would lose at least a pound. We would all motivate each other not to give up. At that time was not taking the Phentermine, was still able to lose inches which helped boost my confidence. Now, I take the Enhance supplement that really did help curve my appetite. I leave it right next to my coffee pot in the morning to I remember to take it before I start my day. I have lost a total of 16 lbs. and I am still able to maintain my weigh in a healthy range. I am happy with what I have lost, and feel confident that I will reach my goal.

I found that the older I get, the harder it is to lose weight. I happened to come in for my annual appointment and I see all these flyers about Dr Praderio’s weight loss program. It was just what I needed and at the right time. All my life, I’ve battled weight loss and have tried different plans where the next time, that plan didn’t work as easy as the time before. Of course with any diet or weight loss program, you have to work at it and sometimes you need a little help along the way. At 47, I needed that help and Dr Praderio’s program has provided just that by listening to me and my struggles. I’m now eating healthier and I’ve also started running which I’ve never ever done before. The best part is the support and encouragement that you get at your weekly weigh-in. I’ve lost almost 40 lbs and although I’m at a comfortable weight, I’m confident that I can reach my goal of 20 more lbs.
