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.

Biopsy done by Dr. Palmer was painless. Very knowledgable and caring doctor. Had me totally at ease.

I didn't feel anything and I was expecting the worse. Dr Palmer made me feel comfortable the minute he entered the room with his gentle voice. He explained everything from the beginning so I knew what to expect. I couldn't believe the biopsy was over afterwards as he was so quick! I am speechless as to how good this doctor really is and I highly recommend him!
