Dr. Palumbo was thorough and reasonable with his assessment of my daughter’s injuries. He saw how important it was to her to get her back on the soccer field and made reasonable suggestions to make that happen for her. He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.

My daughter is a gymnast and has had to see Dr. Palumbo on multiple occasions. He is very caring and takes the time to explain what is going on with her injuries. More importantly, he makes sure she is healed before lifting her restrictions.

The doctor you dream of having. Genuinely cares about your health and well being. I have seen doctors in my time. And every time it was literally in and out.Take this and see you in a few weeks. He talks with you, he has concerns of what your going through and wants you to get better. He wants you to feel better. He cares about you as a person and what you want to do with your life and your family and you don’t find that often ,believe me I have looked. If you are so lucky to have him be part of your life when you need healing and to get where you need to be in your life. He will help you. So happy to have him be apart of helping me through my injury which has been terrible thus far. But now things are turning around thank you Doctor Palumbo
