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.

Incredible doctor. Very welcoming and safe and intelligent and helpful
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/7/2025
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.

Waiting that long to find out if a cast is needed, while in pain walking, is ridiculous
