    I’ve never had a doctor listen to me, believe me, and collaborate with me care as much as Dr P. He offers me many ideas and is honest when the situation is less than ideal, as health sometimes is. I appreciate him very much.

    In our view, the "Very good" option is a poor reflection of Dr. Palazzo's care and attention. "Outstanding" is the most apt description for his service.
