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 recommend Dr Palmer
We started seeing Dr Palmer 20 years ago when he worked with a group. When he became a concierge Dr we followed him. Dr Palmer has every quality that I have required as my family doctor. He is available all hours and days of the week. He spends the amount of time with his patience to give a full evaluation and explanation of his findings. He is definitely worth having as your doctor 100% !

I am a longtime patient of Dr Palmer. At my last yearly physical a couple of changes were noted. Being proactive an adjustment to a maintenance regime was suggested which brought things back to normal. He believes in getting ahead of any potential problems with hopefully modest adjustments, rather than larger fixes later.

Superb Doctor
Dr. Palmer has treated me since 1990. Even though I now live in Florida, I travel to see him at least twice a year. He would certainly be my go to doctor should I ever need a second opinion, and all the specialists he has recommended over the years have also been great. Office visits are always on time and Dr. Palmer ‘s knowledgeable care is matched by his warmth and compassion.

Having been a patient of Dr. Palmer for over a dozen years I have had only excellent care from him. Aside from the yearly exams, if any issue came up at any time Dr. Palmer responded to me promptly, by phone or text. Additionally, Dr. Palmer has many very fine colleagues in case a referral for a specialist is necessary. Dr. Scott Palmer is a fine doctor with whom I have complete trust and comfort. I look forward to having him continue to help me stay active and healthy in the years to come.

Scott is an incredible doctor but he connects with his patients as a friend as well. He has been my doctor for approximately 20 years and two of his former partners for 23 years before that. He is easily accessible for appointments but also by email, phone, or text. While I no longer live in Chicago, Scott is still my doctor. When in Chicago, I see Scott on at least an annual basis. I rely on his expertise in virtually everything I do medically. He is an excellent diagnostician. I feel blessed to have this talented and caring man as my personal physician.

As I have stated in previous reviews, I've had Dr. Scott Palmer as my physician for over 25 yrs. In all that time he has always been professional, caring, thorough in any exam given and genuinely concerned about my well being. Another plus is he sends monthly newsletters so his patients are kept informed with any new medical advances,alternative treatments and life changes that can be done to improve one's health.
