Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2024
Dr. Palmer performed a perfect surgery on my broken ankle! His gentle bed side manner, and Christian faith set him apart from the rest. His MA McKenzie will go above and beyond to make sure your visit at TOC is a positive one. I highly recommend Dr. Palmer for anyone in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon :)
