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.

Long wait time to see this provider, who is evidently the only ENT in the PacMed system who can help with my ears. Once I did get in to see him, he was extremely helpful, efficient, and kind. He also had practical suggestions that may help me in the future.

Dr Palaskas, ENT, listens to me, explains my test results and answers any questions I might have. He is very professional, knowledgeable on my issues, and takes time to explain in terms I understand. I moved from the East Coast and it took almost 2 yrs for me to find a general practice physician and the specialists I needed to continue watch on my historic and new health issues. The time spent on research and phone calls was worth it because I found Pacific Medical Centers; then found a location that I could drive to and, most importantly, I now feel I have an excellent team of Physicians, Specialists and Staff to help me through my health and medical care.

My visit with Dr. Palaskas was most satisfactory. He took time to address my issue. (My two previous visits with ENT doctors from a different organization were very dismissive)
