Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

EXCELLENT DOCTOR
Dr Palacio is kind, thorough, very professional. He explained in great detail the plan going forward. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I'm so thankful to have found him and his staff. It was worth the wait of getting the initial appointment! Bonus: NO waiting in the office. Excellent scheduling. Respectful of the patient's time.

Don't go there, front desk is terrible.
Stay away! booked appointment, traveled 2 hours only to be told my appointment had been cancelled. Confirmed appt twice. No message that was cancelled. Very strange thing about it is that I checked in with the front desk staff, waited 1.5 hours and then they told me appt was cancelled. Why not say something when I checked in? Feels like it was deliberate.

Poor Office Staff
I am a new patient and went to Dr. Palacio last week. He was wonderful. I was diagnosed with diabetes and he prescribed a medicine. Apparently, my health plan turned it down and wants authorization. I have called the office 3 times on 3 consecutive days to find out my next step. It always goes to voice mail and no one returns my call. I do not recommend this doctor due to his poor office staff who seems oblivious to patient care. I would think medicine for a diabetic would be a priority. I am now reading earlier reviews that Dr. Palacio's office is notorious for never returning phone calls. I wish I had known this before seeing Dr. Palacio. Do not go to Dr. Palacio.

I have seen different doctors during my lifetime, I’m 62yo and Dr Palacio is wonderful, very professional and friendly. He found what is afflicting me and is treating it. Yatzira is excellent. She is pleasant, professional and friendly, returning your calls as soon as she can. I am considering transferring all of my care to Dr Palacio and all the group of Doctors that work with him
