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 would definitely not see this doctor. He DOES NOT listen.

Would definitely not recommend him. Let me walk around in pain for over a year after discovering I had a cyst on my right ovary claiming I just wanted medication from him. Was in extreme pain for a long time finally seeing a OBGYN and had surgery performed and by the time surgery was performed cyst had grown almost double in size and cause complications during surgery. When it was supposed to be outpatient surgery I had to stay overnight and be cut and my stomach away from where they were originally supposed to cut and now at home trying to recover from getting an almost 12 CM tumor off of my right ovary having my right ovary removed my right fallopian tube and my left fallopian tube. Just felt like he didn't care about not just my pain but my life.

I would not recommend Dr. Palting! I’ve tried for two weeks to get someone to answer a question about lab work I had done. Three phone calls and two emails later and still haven’t heard from them. Don’t waste your time with this Dr!!

Dr P is a great doctor. I’ve been a patient since he took over for my doctor years ago. I’ve recommended him to multiple family member and friends. Dr P takes the time to listen to you and figure out what going on. The only downfall is this practice is very busy and it’s extremely hard to get an appointment when your sick. I want to see my own Dr when I’m sick not an urgent care Dr This office used to leave open spots for sick patients but I don’t see that they do that any longer. I believe that’s a Semtara issue not a Dr issue. Dr Palting is a great Dr if you get to see him.

Dr Paulting is an excellent doctor. Friendly and caring, he always takes time to listen. When I started going to this practice I had another doctor who left the practice. I switched to Dr Paulting because I had seen him when I was sick. It was much easier to get an emergency appointment then. It has been difficult to get an appointment on short notice lately. Bad flu season and he is very busy.

The phone is rarely answered when I call, usually goes to voicemail that they have 48 hours to respond to. Then they might call you back. Normal appts are about 1.5 months out. If doctor palting is out they just give you another doctor in the building instead of scheduling correctly in the first place. I DO NOT RECCOMEND. Staff is not very friendly either.

I can never get in with Dr Palting when I need him. I call, leave a message, every time! Do they ever answer the phone?48 hour call back? I need help now! Then Im told to go to their Urgent Care, where there is a 2 hour wait? Kinda ridiculous. Changing to a Dr that can see me without making an appt. that is 2 months away!

I absolutely would not/will not EVER recommend him. He was unable to identify a common condition and I feel he is incompetent.

I have been a patient of Dr. Palting's for over 15 years. I can honestly say he is a well educated, patient, wise, compassionate doctor. His youthful energy never goes unnoticed. He truly cares for his patients. His tenacity to solve his patients' ailments is hard to find. A quality doctor, by far.
