Dr. Palumbo is an amazing doctor who truly cares about each and everyone of his patients! He takes his time with you and explains everything to you. He was my doctor for over 30 years. His new patients are so lucky to have him. He will be missed by all of his Rhode Island and Massachusetts patients. I wish him all the best. If flights were not so expensive right now you, I would fly there to have him continue treat me.

I have been seeing Ted for 20 years and he is, without a doubt, one of the kindest and caring doctors one would ever want treating you. Very accessible and accommodating, extremely knowledgeable with a very practical approach to medicine. What else can you say for a physician.

I love this guy. Used to work in this practice many years ago and knew he'd be my doc of choice. Been going to him for about 15 years now. He is the most caring, sincere, dedicated and knowledgeable doctor I've ever dealt with.

Dr. Palumbo is such a caring thorough doctor. He is always on hand calling his patients to answer any questions and to listen to concerns. He does not rush you at all. In fact he wanted to get me in to see him because of my symptoms. However, it was a holiday week and there were no open appointments. So he actually came in the next day at 5:30 am to fit me in. I work in the medical field and therefore have high expectations when selecting a doctor. He 100 percent deserves all of his great reviews and accolades.
