Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This man didn’t offer any relief for my medical issue—an inability to walk due to an unstable knee. Bye, hope you feel better; entire emergency department staff was uncaring. Just get out of their way—they don’t care about patients.

Worst emergency physician ever.
Came in presenting with inability to put any weight on my knee—unable to walk! Smiles, polite, unconcerned! Walk out without actually being in the emergency department because he treated me from an ante-room off the admitting desk!Asked to see a different provider and was denied! Left unable to walk with a script for muscle relaxers! Great job doc! Hope at least some of your patients actually get the care they need.

Cannot walk! – Mar 18, 2024

My pcm sent me to Chesapeake General for my left foot. Expectation was I'd be admitted and recieve IV antibiotics. This guy spent less than 30 seconds with me and sent me on my way. Ignored the sore on my foot which was gangrene due lack of circulation. Went Sentara the following Friday and was admitted. Never trust this guy or Chesapeake medical

Dr. Palma is an excellent doctor. He listened to all of my concerns and addressed all of my symptoms in the emergency room at CRMC. Dr Palma took the time to go through my labs with me very thoroughly. He is compassionate and never appears rushed.
