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.

2 reverse shoulder replacements
Dr Pallis is the best. I struggled with severe arthritis and years of wear and tear from the auto business. Had continuous pain in both shoulders plus limited motion doing simple around the house chores was painful if not impossible. Tried shots only worked for a short time. Meet with Dr Pallis and his team decided replacing both shoulders was the only option. Had the surgeries 6 months apart. The results were fantastic pain-free shoulders and I'm able to enjoy life again. Can't say enough good things about Dr Pallis and his care team.

Wish I could give him more than 5 stars
Dr Pallis performed a total shoulder replacement on me 3 months ago. He and his team were terrific during the sugery and have continued to be with follow up visits. My recovery thus far has been faster and better than expected and I attribute that to Dr Pallis and the subsequent Physical therapy I have received.

Phenomenal Experience!
This was a remarkable experience going from excruciating pain to painfree daily routines. Dr. Pallis and his entire team of professionals demonstrated an unbelievable amount of compassion, caring and skill in every area of their expertise to surpass my expectations from start to finish. I am ecstatically pleased with the sevices and expertise they provided to deliver 100% satisfaction. Dr. Pallis is beyond superb by taking a useless and decrepit shoulder and restoring remarable functionality in a fraction of the time I anticipated for healing and effective rehabilitation. I would unequivocally recommend Dr. Pallis and his team to anyone needing surgical shoulder reconstruction. Five (5) STARS from me and not a single negative.A positive experience indeed!

He didn't listen, but told me what my symptoms are. He's wrong, of course. He was a condescending jerk to the ultrasound technician, when he pointed out the swelling that is the issue, saying "That doesn't matter." When I asked if there's a specific physical therapy that would help, he said he didn't know because he's not a physical therapist. A complete waste of time. I would not recommend to anyone.

Such a wonderful team. He was beyond professional, was able to comfortably walk me through the entire process and healing time, and gave me the most comfortable surgery and recovery. I was squeezed in very last minute and he wasted no time at all to schedule my MRI's, have them read, and get me in to surgery quickly. You can't write enough good things about Mark and all the favors he was able to pull to help me get back into my physical activities.
