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.

My daughter is having some very concerning health issues. Not happy with her current very inattentive doc. Saw great reviews for Dr. Palla. We are right across street from her so called for appointment, nothing until JANUARY! Guess she is the best doctor you CANNOT see when you need to. Gave one star because zero was not an option.

I met with Dr. Palla over the last few weeks. Such a welcomed experience. She took an immediate interest in my health and my concerns. Her assistant, Debbie, is warm, caring and very approachable.

No, I would not recommend Dr. Palla, at all. She was very mean, judgmental, and loud enough for others to hear her judgmental statements. She also seemed to jump to conclusions quite a bit.

I have been a patient of Dr. Palla for a number of years. I have been impressed with the care and concern she has shown. She is thorough in following through on diagnosis and treatment. Making sound referrals when necessary. Going the extra mile to contact other doctors to be sure they are on the right track. Her patient concern extends to the whole family. She does not hesitate to reach out She always makes time for emergencies. Top notch!

Dr. Palla is an amazing physician who really takes the time to listen to all needs of her patients!!! She will listen to all needs no matter how small or big, whether it is mental or physical she is an extremely dedicated professional who will go to great lengths to ensure her patients problem is resolved. She really takes the time at each visit to fully listen to her patient and offer many solutions. In addition, she makes time to see you even if there really is no appointments available.

Dr. Paella is simply an outstanding doctor and human being. She is caring and compassionate; she spends a long time with her patient and you leave her office feeling as though questions have been answered and concerns have been but to rest. Her follow through is stellar. I truly appreciate her and feel as though my mental and physical health has improved as a result of being her patient.

Dr. Palla is one of the most caring and thorough doctors I have ever been to. My family and I went to her as we asked all of our new neighbors to recommend someone. When you move to a new area and try to find new medical professionals it can be challenging. They all advised us that she is wonderful - and she is. She doesn't rush my visit and can take care of my entire family with ease.

A very pleasant person who takes time to discuss the issue at hand, explains medications, next steps and listens to her patients. Does not treat you like cattle. She has even called to follow up. I will not go to anyone else.
