Patient Reviews

Aug 09, 2021

I have recommended Dr. Palchak to many of my friends. I have been so impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. He is top-notch! With my first bout with breast cancer, I had a different oncologist who was supposed to be reputable, but whom I would give a grade of C-. When I had breast cancer a second time, I asked to change my oncologist to Dr. Palchak and I am so glad I did! He never seems rushed and is very thorough. He keeps up on the latest treatments and can answer questions, not only with his opinion but with the opinion of others, which he will gladly share with you from his computer if you ask. I feel he looks after my health in detail, not only in regard to my breast cancer but overall. I highly recommend him!
