Patient Reviews
Jan 08, 2025
Dr. Palanca operated on my dad, who is in his 80’s. She was very caring and took her time to diagnose the issue so that she could do the least amount of surgery needed, because of his age and concern about healing. He had a great outcome and we are so grateful for her caring and thoughtful approach to his care.
