I've been seeing Dr. Palacio for 3 years for symptoms of menopause, including migraine. He has has worked with me on hormone replacement therapy and takes time to answer questions and explain the latest research. However, from the start his office staff have been very difficult. They rarely answer the phone, give confusing and inaccurate information about insurance and the doctor's availability, and make mistakes with billing. Most recently I received my first bill for two appointments I had over a year ago. The office mis-billed my insurance, lost a referral from my primary care physician, and billed me so late that I cannot deduct the cost of the visits for tax purposes. I understand that he has new billing staff, but too late for me. I would recommend Dr. Palacio for someone wanting HRT advice who is willing to wrestle with the front office staff to get it, but personally will not be returning to this practice.

Dr. Palacio was very warm and approachable. He had a flip book of the female anatomy that we reviewed and discussed potential causes of my condition, and the surgical options available to me, from least-to-most invasive. He took the time to clearly explain the procedure options, and the risks and benefits of each in a clear, easy-to-understand way, without being condescending. He was up-to-date on best practices. I felt confident that I was in good hands as I was being rolled into the OR.

Dr. Palacio is one of those rare physicians who automatically makes you feel at ease at an appt. which is so intimate and not one any woman looks forward to. His knowledge, warmth & empathic manner allow you to discuss any issue & ask any question in total comfort. I am 72 yrs. old & have had my share of woman issues. I trust Dr. Palacio explicitly.

So thankful I found Dr. Palacio!! He is kind, compassionate, completely thorough, and demonstrated total interest in me and my concerns. Although a total abdominal hysterectomy could not be avoided, it went extremely well. My recovery has been fantastic! My family and friends marvel at how well I am doing. :-) Yvonne

The impact Dr. Palacio has had on my physical & mental health has been life altering. The issues I had suffered with affected how I felt about myself as a woman. He took the time not just to talk with me & listen, but he also extensively researched & together we found solutions for relief. I had tried many female doctors before him & they were dismissive to my issues. Dr. Palacio never makes me feel rushed and he treats me like a person, not a patient. A bonus is his caring & friendly staff.
