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.

Never going back
Dr. Palfey was extremely rude and condescending during my appointment. After declining a 4th Covid shot, she made multiple comments about how if i got Covid during pregnancy it would severely impact my baby (I was not pregnant and did not ask). This felt like an intimidation tactic to force me into another booster despite the bad reactions I had to my first three doses. Additionally, she told me if i continued running that i would likely miscarry (again, I was not even pregnant…. And am a marathon runner). The whole interaction was uncomfortable. Do not see her if you’re not interested in a Covid shot.

Left me to suffer with my endometriosis
I waited months to see her because she was supposed to be soooo good at listening to patients. She never even examined me and just put me on the Pill, despite me having expressed my dislike of hormonal and describing my debilitating period symptoms. Then offered no alternative when the Pill caused serious side effects. She made her staff answer my call. Didn’t even talk to me herself! I felt so gaslit by her. If she wouldn’t care, why would anyone else? I was definitively diagnosed with extensive endometriosis via laparoscopic surgery after 8 more years more of intense suffering. She completely failed me. I went to her for help, desperate for someone qualified to listen, and she didn’t even try.

Dr Palfy has been my doctor for over 20 years. She is kind as can be, never rushes you and is very empathetic. I recommend her to every Woman I know in need of a GYN. She smart and committed. I really do think she is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had if not the best.

Provided prenatal care and delivered both of my children with care, compassion and great communication. I have continued to go for annual check ups for over 24 years. I would highly recommend her.
