Dr. Palmer is the best!
Excellent doctor
The doctor is great
good experience
My experience with my eye care has been very good but my daughter's experience with trying to retrieve her medical records to figure out facts about her Lymes disease has not been good.
Efficiency and knowledge
I always get the care I am looking for
Doctor Palmer
