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.

Disinterested
He was very disinterested in what I had to say and overall, I didn't feel like he was taking my concerns seriously. I don't know why he's a doctor, but it's not to help patients.

Not quite LGBTQ+ friendly
Dr Palazzo is a decent physician but I never felt like he or his staff actually cared for me or my healthcare- a transactional relationship- I moved on.

Palazzo is always very kind and affirming of my transition. He has been the one to prescribe me testosterone and wants me to move forward at a pace that's comfortable for me while also listing what's available to me.

Since this was the first time I meet Dr. Palazzo, we spent most of our time reviewing my history, and discussing my current health condition. He ordered blood work for my high blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar count.

Dr. Palazzo was patient and took time to understand what was going on for me. He then recommended a test to better understand the location of my issue ahead of making a referral, which I appreciated.

I wanted to explain to the Doctor a medical issue I was experiencing. However, he told me he did not have the time to discuss it. I should say he told me to make it quick as the time for the appointment was up.

Certainly FAR better than my prior doctor and their reception desk people with an entirely different health service. (Not from Spectrum Health). Overall, things went smooth and good with my brand new primary care doctor and Spectrum Health.
