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.

I went in with my left hip hurting and he went over my x-rays and explained everything and he was very nice and was wanting to do the right thing and he did because I’m feeling better with the exercises he gavevme to do. He said I can do them at home and that saved me lots of money. He was right the exercises s help I think I’m on the road to recovery

My experience with Dr. Palmer is second to none.
Dr. Palmer did what he said he was going to do. Get me functioning better. This was my 6th surgery on the same knee. I was too the point that I didn't know what else to do. It was by chance that I received his card and the rest is history. My knee revision went smoothly and I am improving daily. I am 7 weeks post op and am back to work. I am on my feet all day and have minimal pain. I would recommend Dr. Palmer to anyone who is in need. Thank you Sir for giving me a refreshed look on life.

Revision pain
Dr. Palmer did my original replacement but when I needed a revision, unfortunately the practice did not accept the insurance I had at the time. I have been having constant pain from the revision and Dr. Palmer jumped right in to find the issue. He remembered me from 2016 and asked how the family was. He clearly explained what he found and what he wanted to look for. Will definitely come back if and when I need future knee surgeries.

Great Phyisician!!
Dr Palmer’s friendliness, concern, and expertise is obvious from the moment you meet him. So down to earth and knowledgeable! After being told I needed a joint replacement elsewhere, Dr Palmer performed a thorough exam and assessment of my problem. He concluded I did not need a replacement, but rather a short course of steroids and exercises to correct the cause of my symptoms, ileotibial band syndrome! I’m so happy I found him. Check out his website, where he has informative videos of hip and knee replacement and ITB syndrome. I highly recommend him!

Total hip replacement
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Palmer. He takes the time to answer your questions. My recovery was quick and less painful than my other hip replacement that was performed differently years ago. If you need a replacement I highly recommend Dr. Palmer for the anterior hip replacement.
