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.

Spent a lot of time figuring out what to do to help me with chronic post nasal drip and sinusitis. Continued working with me long after sinus surgery to continue to help me with my sinus issues. Friendly staff always willing to help. His PA McKie is amazing also. Very knowledgeable.

I went in for a perforated eardrum, dr. Palmer was very reassuring and very comforting. It took a couple weeks to get the infection diagnosed that continued to keep my ear plugged, I eventually went to his PA Nancy because dr. Palmer was out of town and I just want to say Nancy you're an angel. She was so smart and so reassuring, she made me feel at ease. So thank you so much Nancy for everything you did. The girls up front, Megan, Kaylee and Michelle and all the medical assistants were so nice.

Failed to even suggest ideas other than a hearing aid for someone with serious ear, balance, pain, dizzy, mental fog, ear canal swollen, hearing issues except buy a hearing aid. Seriously I was beyond disgusted. Then told you may have tumor why tell someone that and stress them and the family out for weeks. Better to wait for tests results. Zero ideas and had not reviewed sons charts he ordered a test over again. Waste of time to go here. Plus his assistant was rude and the office was dirty. Bad

Dr. Palmer is amazing. To all the negative comments on here- consider this- maybe you are just impatient, rude, not in need of an ENT and SHOULD see your primary care doc. Dr. Palmer is fantastic and he knows his stuff, I'd go back to him any day.

I feel like this office was not truthful in the treatment time. The staff was very rude and unfriendly. I feel like they were out for the money more then wanting to help. I will never recommend this office to anyone.

I made an appointment with Dr. Palmerin Jan 2017. i didn't get a chance to work with the Dr. Palmer who i made an appointment with but the guy at the clinic who i refused not to talk with but they keep insisting me to speak with him. A month and half later, they sent me a bill to pay out of my pocket for almost $200 for not even worked at all with the Dr. i made an appointment with. Very very disappointed... I felt i have been ripped off for the service i did not get

I came to Dr. Palmer for problems of a hoarse voice and inflammation in my throat. I never felt that he took me seriously or cared about my problem. When I finally got fed up and wanted to find another doctor I asked for a copy of my records. Upon reviewing my records, I noted that the majority of his notes from our first appointment were comments about my weight. He wrote a full paragraph describing how fat he thought I was and said very little about the presenting problem. Horrible.

Poor post-op care, when headaches and right ear-ache developed after nasal surgery.Dr. Palmer's assistants, who interviewed me before each visit, were never in touch, and were not always courteous. Although Dr. Palmer ordered various tests re post-op issues, he never seemed intent on getting to the cause of the problem. He also denied that weather conditions could be a factor with sinus issues. Dr. Palmer told me to see my primary physician for the headaches and released me as a patient.
