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.

Dr. Palushock was very informative and caring.
Dr. Palushock gave me clear directions and information on my thyroid. She gave me a thorough exam and took a thorough history. I enjoyed my visit with her.

Very thorough doctor and very nice! She keeps my thyroid meds balanced perfectly. She always promptly calls me with my bloodwork results. Very little wait time for my appointments. I like going to her.

Uses out dated procedures, you have to mail or fax in your numbers, isn't aggressive enough, and never changes your medication for a better patient outcome. Was told numerous times from Dieticians that I Was on the WRONG MEDICATION and when brought to her attention she just dismissed that information....SAD.....
