Patient Reviews
Oct 18, 2024
Dr. Palanca surgically removed cyst on both feet, and did an outstanding job. The entire procedure from being diagnosed at Dr. Palanka‘s office to the recovery room at Poway Surgery Center went seamlessly. I can’t say enough positive things about my entire procedure! First and foremost Dr. Palanca is an excellent Orthopedic doctor-surgeon. Dr. P is caring, listens to your concerns, and offers a solution to your problem.I regularly have Cortisone shots in each foot for extreme pain due to arthritis. I find myself asking her “Are you finished ?” ,she knows exactly where the injection needs to be injected for immediate relief! I can’t express how grateful I am to have found her. Not only is Dr. Palanca outstanding, but her entire team does an excellent job. This goes for her assistant Matt, the front desk assistants to Theresa Blach who coordinates and schedules surgeries.My experience with the Poway Surgery Center, was extremely positive! Thank you Dr. Richie and staff!Bonnie Tate
