Performed surgery on my son's dislocated and broken elbow. In no time the arm had full extension and healing. He is an excellent surgeon and doctor.

I was denied healthcare because I look Asian. Even though I had an appointment, consistently lying to me and refusing to give me my appointment is not going to save you from Covid-19.

I had a medical appointment already scheduled and was denied access to healthcare because I look Asian. Denying me healthcare is not going to protect you from Covid-19. God knows you’re racist and there’s no where you can hide from Him.

Had a fractured metacarpal, Dr Palumbo explained my problem in easy to understand terms, and recommend 2 treatment options. The surgery performed was exceptional, as I can actually use my finger again. Would recommend to anyone with a hand injury.

He repaired extensive shoulder injury, torn rotator cuff, bone spur and abraded rotator cuff, torn labrum, biceps and tendon separation. I was very surprised at the low level of pain and the neatness of the orthroscopic surgery. The therapy staff is superb as well. Would reference Dr. Palumbo to every one.

Dr. Palumbo and the staff at the orthopaedic sports clinic were very professional and took great care of our son who broke his arm. Thanks to him our son was able to heal quickly and get right back on the football field.
