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.

Dr. Palmer-Ball is an excellent doctor who truly cares about his patients. I am so grateful that he is my doctor and would recommend him to anyone (and have) who is looking for a primary care physician. He listens, explains, takes his time with patients, is caring and compassionate. I trust him with my health and well-being. His care has made a true difference in my life.

Dr P-B listens. He discovers what's going on in the patient's life that contributs to the presenting complaints. He assertively encourages the patient to make decisions about getting better. A patient since the mid-'80s, I've recommended him to dozens of friends and family. Norton can't possibly appreciate him enough. More physicians like Dr P-B would create a much healthier Louisville. My husband has been a patient as long as I have. That's a huge testament for this incredible doc!
