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.

Do not trust Dr. Dante Palumbo. Very bad experience with this doctor.. He basically ruined my hand for life because of his incompetence. I’ve had cortisone injections given to me in the past and never had a problem. He gave me a cortisone injection that caused Trauma to my hand and now I have permanent damage. He basically gave me a shot for arthritis which wasn’t the problem to begin with.. I explained that I had tendinitis and I knew what it felt like, but he insisted I have x-rays done and diagnosed me with mild arthritis and gave me a shot for the arthritis instead.. The injection ended up causing Trauma to my joint also causing synovitis which came from the injury to the joint due to the direct, blunt hit on the joint from the injection. This incompetent Doctor is lucky Covid hit during this period and that the statute of limitations is 2 years here in NJ to file for malpractice, otherwise I would have sued him for his incompetence and leaving me with permanent damage.

Dr. Palumbo was extremely attentive and knowledgeable of the medical issue I was facing. He met with me several times to assure me surgery was our only option and gave me peace of mind before and afterwards. His extensive care and professionalism were extremely refreshing and welcomed. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Palumbo on my care team!
