I saw Dr. Palotta in 1982. My wife and I were divorced and both lost. Dr. Palotta is intense. He wants to get to the problem and help you get through it. The result- my wife and I remarried in 1984. We were blessed with two more children and are still happily married. Did I like the very personal intense interviews. No. But it got to the root of the problem and turned my life around because I had to deal with it. I am very thankful for the last 30 years and glad the Lord used Dr. Palotta to bless my life. I have recommended several people to him and will continue to do so.

Dr. Palotta has been a godsend to me. He has spent 2 hours with me and only charged for a single session. They are willing to squeeze you in for an appointment. Both he and his wife are a great support team.I will admit he IS intense and a session can seem like an interrogation at times because he's so precise.He is my 5th psychiatrist and he has been such a blessing to me.

Does not have a very good bedside manner. He seemed very robotic and did not display much emotion. I did not feel comfortable talking to him. I came for one problem and he tried to tell me I had two other problem, which I didn't, and he did not address the problem I came in for in the first place. He doesn't want to talk much. All he wanted to was shove medication down my throat, which I did not want nor need.
