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. Paletsky has retired as of July 12, 2020 as per his office. There is a new Doctor now in his place. My opinion of Dr. Paletsky over the past almost 10 years Is he was the best in his field! Yes you have to wait occasionally though if you were on his operating table or in his office, would you like him to say Oh Your Time is Up and I have to go to my next patient!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my father who received his CT of the lung results from this "doctor". Per this "doctor", the scan revealed 2 lesions which were more than likely cancer. He basically told my father that there's nothing they can do & radiation is not an option and "they can't remove your lung". That was it: no path for follow-up, no second scan, nothing. Fast forward: A 2nd opinion PET Scan revealed no lesions or other anomalies. STAY AWAY FROM THIS "DOC".

You will always be overcharged for your co-payment. His billing office will never answer the phone nor return your calls.
