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.

He was nice and professional to me at the office but he never returned my call after I called his office for experiencing stomach pain and nausea after endoscopy and colonoscopy performed by him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Palma?
Wonderful Doctor! I would not go any where else. After years of seeing different GI's, I was recommended Dr. Palma from a friend. Dr. Palma took the time to look through my previous reports and decided to run additional exams. I was told over and over it was nothing but he believed me. Soon after the cause of my pain was determined. He immediately treated me and I have been pain free.
