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.

The best endocrinologist!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Palmer for several years and he is the best endocrinologist and up there with the best doctors I have ever seen. He’s very concerned about the patient issues and listens very well and also working solutions to benefit patients. I’d recommend him to anyone very highly

Excellent experience with Dr. John Palmer
Dr. Palmer thoughtfully took time to listen and asked questions about any of my concerns. He looked carefully through my chart and helped form a plan for care. It affirmed previous recommendations and put my mind at ease. He was more concerned about what I needed than about scheduling a follow-up appointment with him. He did ask that other providers caring for me send him updates. I felt in very good care. He came highly recommended, we drove 12 hours to see him specifically, and he lived up to his reputation.

Great doctor!!!
Dr. Palmer made me feel really comfortable, reassured and answered all of my questions. He even asked more than once if I had any more questions. Made me feel like I wasn't rushed and he actually cared about me as a person instead of a number.

FINALLY GOT HELP
Dr. Palmer was so nice and respectful. He is the first doctor that actually listened to all of my concerns and offered me options to help me instead of pushing me off to someone else. After years of different doctors and specialist and tests, within 10 minutes of my visit he was able to offer more help than anyone that I had seen before. Definitely sending him cookies at Christmas. He is booked out a ways but definitely worth the wait!

There was no wait to speak of which is great, and the doctor is outstanding. One of the best I’ve had the opportunity to visit with. His nurse was very good and the doctor was outstanding. I’m grateful we have an endocrinologist this good in our area.

Dr. Palmer is very thorough. He looks at every part of your labwork and yells you what changes you need to make or that ypu are doing well and no changes are needed. He asks you what your opinion is on the state of your health, if you have any questions about anything. He is simply awesome.
