Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2024
Both Dr Palmer and his PA Lyle are awesome. Extremely knowledgeable. Patient in answering my questions. They were great at listening to what was important to me as far as what I wanted to do athletically in the future and this helped guide the conversation and their ultimate treatment recommendations. Obviously I don't want to be in the position of scheduling surgery but after meeting with them, I am absolutely certain I am taking the correct path and will be able to perform athletically at a high level after surgery. Amazing staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my orthopedic problems
