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 have been seeing Dr. Palumbo since 2017.  Thankfully, it's not very often because if I have to see him it's because I'm hurt. That is the ONLY reason I don't like to see him. A month ago I had to go back in; a badly broken arm.  I ended up needing surgery even though I tried to talk Dr. P out of it.  However, I trust him and knew if he was saying it was needed, it was.  I had never been under general anesthesia before and was really scared.  He was so kind when he spoke to me before the surgery. I'm on the road to recovery now and I know this was the right course of treatment.  I have to give a shout out to his PA, Danielle, too.  Thank you for all your kind and compassionate care. The entire experience at The Orthopedic Sports Clinic is excellent.  Props to Carissa as well.  From the minute you walk in to the time you check out, the encounter is as pleasant as can be. Thanks to all of you !!!!

My second finger operation was messed up it took 11 months to heal earlier I went back to be checked Palumbo took an x-ray and told me I had arthritis. It was a total false diagnosis he just blew me off told me to go see an arthritis doctor with no basis. Upon my second return as I was having problems and wanted him to check it again I had made an appointment and it was on site I was told after 30 years at the clinic they couldn't treat me anymore because I was 65 years old when I wanted Palumbo to look at my finger again. I was still working with full quality health benefits

Dr. Palumbo and his fantastic staff supported me through two wrist surgeries. Prior to meeting Dr. Palumbo, my wrist did not heal correctly from a bad break. I am a musician and this injury was devastating for me. After my first appointment with Dr. Palumbo and his staff, I was convinced that he was indeed a skillful doctor and I made the decision to put my wrist’s fate in his hands. Put simply, it was the right decision. My wrist is 100% better now. Thank you Dr. Palumbo and crew!

Saw Dr. Palumbo today and was very impressed with his practice. Ladies in reception were very professional as were his assistants. Office and waiting area is very clean and organized. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Dr. Palumbo was very attentive, thorough, and patient as I described my pain issues and concerns. He walked me through steps to my recovery and answered all my questions. I was in and out and wait in lobby and exam room was less than 5 minutes. I would recommend him- definitely
