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.

Amazing Doctor and staff
I have known Dr Palmer for sometime from working in the medical environment but was never a patient of his until lately.. I decided to have laser done and couldn’t be more happy with the attention to detail and time he took to get the best results.. Tiffany his assistant is so amazing and is such a caring nurse.. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful and always makes you feel welcome and cared for.. I highly recommend Dr Palmer and Tiffany for your dermatology and cosmetic care.

Excellent dermatologist
Dr. Palmer did a skin cancer screening and removed a couple of moles. He was competent and kind. I will go to him again.

I have gone to Dr. Palmer multiple times for a series of things, from a rash on my leg to acne to spider angiomas. He is extremely knowledgeable and is current on the latest technology. I always feel like I am in good hands and I will continue to go to his office for as long as possible. A truly great doctor.

Completely dismissive of me, spent less than 2 minutes with me before saying there wasn't anything he could do with the limited resources he had and told me to come back at another time. Felt disrespected, his attitude towards me was completely unprofessional.
