I am an 82 year old man whom Dr. Palo has treated for many years. Thanks to his care I was able to participate in the Louisiana Senior Olympics in November, 2021. Not only was I able to participate, but I was able to win a Gold Medal in the 1500 Meter Power Walk and qualify for the Nationals in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. this May.

I felt at ease discussing my symptoms and situation with him. He always asked if I had any more questions before I left his office. His office followed up with me while I was waiting for diagnostic testing. My procedure was scheduled promptly. It was a great experience.

I was very nervous at my first visit. He recommended the Iovera before surgery and I am so glad that I did! Recovery time was not as painful as my first replacement and I the physical therapy was a breeze! I would definitely recommend getting the iovera before a knee replacement! THANKYOU to all that helped me at Joint Effort with my questions and concerns!
