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.

Very knowledgeable and Listens
Had 25 radiation treatments with a 4 month follow up. Every 2 weeks he followed up to see how the treatments were going and if there were any side effects.

A knowledgeable and caring physician
I have been under Dr. Mark Palmer’s care for several years now and always look forward to my check ins with him. On top of his reassuring expertise in oncology, he shows a genuine interest in each patient’s overall wellbeing. He does a great job of explaining test results and terminology related to my care. I would highly recommend him to any patient!

I find Dr Palmer is very attentive to my question.
Dr Palmer’s kind demeanor gave me the confidence to decide on the radiation treatment. He answered all of my questions and explained the process completely. I have all the confidence that the radiation will eradicate the cancerous lymph node.

I felt respected and not rushed. Dr Palmer listened and answered my questions especially because I had cancer 21 years ago. Procedures have changed in those years and I trusted his decisions and appreciated his approach to the subject of how cancer treatments are different now. He answered my questions and I never left an appointment without my questions answered, and I had the confidence in my planned treatments. I trusted him and the radiation staff and I appreciated his candor about my condition and the time he spent with me.

Dr Palmer presents facts of the decease and prognosis in a realistic and forthright manner. He offers plenty of time to explore the ins and outs of radiation treatments during weekly office visits throughout the course of treatments and offers support for any side effects that may occur post treatment during the following months. I found him pleasant and appreciated his frank and direct approach to the subject of cancer refreshing.

Dr. Palmer is very professional, has a good “chair side” manner and left me feeling that I understand the status of my skin cancer and what the radiation treatment is expected to achieve. I like him as a doctor and as a person.

I have many personal references to individuals who have had hip and knee surgeries with Dr. Palmer. All came highly recommended as well as a reference from my sister in law who is an orthopedic surgeon. I was able to schedule an appointment in a very appropriate time frame and also schedule surgery at the Lake View Hospital in Stillwater shortly there after. I received excellent care at this facility.
