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.

Saved my life
He was one of the best Dr. I have ever had. He was my Dr. through the VA. He practically saved my life when he sent me for a mammogram. Not only that he listens to me, never rushes the appointments and is very caring. I’m so sad he’s no longer with the VA

I finally found a doctor who listens to what I have to say, He found out I had a problem with my thyroid and gave me the appropriate medicine, He also found that I have sever back problems and is helping me with that as well. I am very happy with Dr. Palumbo because he is easy to talk to and he really listens. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a doctor.

Dr Palombo listened to my complaints & addressed each one. He never hurried me thru but took his time to make sure I understood his treatment plan. I really love this doctor. He's changing most my medications & he explained why. Nothings worked so far but now I'm hopeful this new treatment plan will work. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Palumbo is my mothers doctor. He's a terrible doctor. She had a UTI and he prescribed Bactrim although we told him that she's allergic to sulfa drugs. His prescription landed her in the ER at St. Pat's. Don't even think about asking his office to fill out any paperwork! I dropped off forms for him to sign to help my mother get into a nursing home, and they lost them and never called me back! He also refused to sign medical leave papers although I've missed 2 months of work caring for my Mom
