Both Dr. Palmer and his staff are top notch. I felt listened to, my concerns verified, and left feeling I was in the best possible hands. Excellent bedside manner as well as his nurse. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr. Palmer is a very good surgeon, he takes the time to explain the procedure and answer any question. I have had two surgeries with him and had no issues afterward. I would highly recommend him.
