Myrtle Ridge Primary Care PA, originally known as Myrtle Ridge Family Medicine, was founded on faith, perseverance, and compassion. The story of its growth is one of dedication, opportunity, and divine purpose.
Our founder, Yudaisy Mogena Padron, DMSc, PA, CBHCMS, began her journey at Myrtle Ridge as a Medical Assistant. Her genuine love for patient care, strong work ethic, and leadership quickly impressed the clinic’s former owner, Dr. Berk, who entrusted her with greater responsibilities and eventually promoted her to Clinic Manager.
As Dr. Berk approached retirement, he sought someone who would care for his practice and patients with the same integrity and heart that he had poured into Myrtle Ridge. After receiving several offers, he ultimately decided to entrust his life’s work to two young immigrant doctors from Cuba—Dr. Yudaisy Mogena Padron and her husband, Dr. George Marcel Dorta Chapin, DMSc, PA.
He saw in them the same passion, empathy, and commitment that had defined his practice for decades. For Dr. Berk, Myrtle Ridge was more than a medical office—it was his legacy, his family, and his mission. By passing it on to Yudaisy and George, he ensured that legacy would live on in good hands.
For Yudaisy and George, Myrtle Ridge was a promise from God—a gift they have cared for and cultivated with love, integrity, and faith. They embraced the slogan “Blessed to Care,” recognizing that their work is not only a profession but a calling to serve others.
Today, after five years of continuous growth, Myrtle Ridge Primary Care PA has evolved into a multidisciplinary healthcare center that provides primary care, psychiatry, psychotherapy, targeted case management, and psychological evaluations. Our team includes licensed clinical social workers, family and marriage therapists, master-level clinicians, and dedicated case managers, all united by one mission—to serve the community with excellence and compassion.
We have also established a partnership with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to extend support to individuals and families in greatest need, ensuring that no one is left without access to help, hope, and healing.
Myrtle Ridge stands today as a living testimony of what faith, hard work, and compassion can build. It is a place where healing meets purpose—and where every patient is truly Blessed to Care.
Our mission is to enhance the
well-being of our patients while supporting the overall health of
the community we serve.
