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.

Good surgeon but awful bedside manner
Dr. Palmquist works for a medical system that claims to be the leading cancer care center in the Seattle/Western WA area. My family lives in a more rural location so we were willing to make the hike to Seattle if it meant we could access “the best breast cancer treatment & providers available.” Once we established care, we found this provider to be extremely unkind & unpleasant to deal with. We are giving two stars because she was able to remove the breast tumor in total with clear margins which is wonderful, but we are not convinced it was worth the extra time, effort, driving, hassle, & money to make this commute for a provider who treated my family member like a number on the best days & like trash on the worst days. Especially during an intensely difficult & emotional time when she was literally fighting for her life.
