I have had two recent surgeries performed by Doctor Palesty and I must say I have never been happier with both of the surgeries...Doctor Palesty is very professional, a great surgeon, a great listener, and above all a very skilled surgeon...his staff and all that work along side him should all be very proud of their work....

I personally am not a patient. But a family member is. Dr. P is kind, compassionate and one if the best.

I have been to see Dr. Palesty a few times. His level of care and compassion is by far top notch. His assistant Kate is the same. Professional and caring. With that said, I have to say I have been soured as they have cancelled my appointment for a cyst removal 3 times. Ihave never heard of any doctor doing this, maybe once but three times, really? Now I'm left to question whether or not to return to this office. Maybe my procedure is not important enough. I can't reschedule with this doctor as I'm hesitant this will happen again.

Dr Palesty is an outstanding dr with a great bedside manner! He has helped me through my rough times in the hospital with stomach blockages! He helped me with pain medication and nausea medication to help me bear the pain and nausea I He's a no 1 dr and when I'm glad he's my dr and there when I need him! I've have a few bouts of blockages that he monitored me and helped me through the process so I did not require surgery! Dr Palesty is a very caring and compassionate dr! He's the best and wish him many blessings!

I can go on & on about Dr Palesty. He has helped so many of my family members including me & my husband. He's brillant, kind & and a fantastic surgeon. His assitant Kate is like no other doctors assistant, there's not enough space to write all the fantastic things about her. I'll sum it up she's who you want to answer the phone when you call. She's also caring & and always has a listening ear what a team ð???

Dr. Palesty epitomizes excellence in his profession as a Surgeon. He operated on my husband twice and both times exercised extreme care and personal attention. I thank God for using him in such an exception al way. R
