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.

Amazing!
Dr Palmer saw us for a same day visit for our baby who has had chronic ear infections for months with many failed antibiotics. He was understanding, educated, and overall just a great doctor!

Great Practice!
I have been seeing this physician and staff for over 2 years. Each visit has been professional, informational and easy to navigate. Dr Palmer takes the time needed to explain and talk through my allergy related issues. Surgery is not the first thing he suggest, but works through other non invasive procedures, which I really appreciate.

Professional and friendly
Dr Palmer was very professional, knowledgable and easy to talk to. He addressed my questions and put a plan together to resolve my issue. I was very pleased.The check out person and Dr Palmer's MA were great. Very friendly and professional. The person you first encounter at the front desk, however, did not smile, did not greet me and gave me the impression that I was an inconvenience. Not a great first impression on the practice. It definitely went uphill from there though.
