I had many concerns about surgery because of my BMI and age but Dr. Palmer made me feel so comfortable and positive about my upcoming surgery. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering hip surgery.

Dr. Palmer is an excellent doctor! He explains technical medical terms in a way that is understandable. He explains pros and cons of different procedures and long term planning. He gives hope for the future!

On my first visit wth Dr Palmer he reviewed my x-rays and recommended a "partial" knee vs a full. Shortly thereafter I completed the procedure and could not be happier with our decision. The entire process has been exactly as he described. His staff are wonderful as well. I'm still working on my physical therapy but the transformation to this point is AMAZING! I have already recommended Dr Palmer and always will!

I originally had an appointment with another orthopedic surgeon but the wait for an appointment was too long. Dr. Palmer's name was given as a referral after visiting an orthopedic urgent care. I am SO happy that I chose him as my surgeon. I had an anterior hip replacement. He was so informative of the procedure and what could be expected. He is a caring and thoughtful doctor that I would highly recommend.

I was experiencing problems with my left knee and was referred to Dr. Palmer for evaluation. After (MRI) he concluded by best option was a total knee replacement. My biggest concern was post surgery mobility. Dr. Palmer assured me that I would be mobile. As soon as the anesthesia wore off I got on my feet and began moving. Five weeks later I was released to work full duty but the best part was ending forty years of restricted motion and various levels of pain. Dr. Palmer and staff are superior.

Dr Palmer is caring, supportive and enthusiastic about his work. He helped me better understand my problem. We discussed options and + and - of each. He did not push for a surgical solution. I wish all doctors were like this!
