Dr. David Palmer is simply wonderful, genuinely one of the most delightful physicians I have ever met!
From my very first appointment, I was incredibly impressed by him. He is extraordinarily attentive, kind, intelligent, polite, and clearly an exceptional physician. It is also immediately apparent that he genuinely loves what he does.
What makes Dr. Palmer particularly special is the way he communicates with his patients. He actually takes the time to talk to you, without making you feel rushed, listens carefully, and explains everything in remarkable DETAIL, which unfortunately has become increasingly rare. He conveys not only tremendous knowledge and expertise, but also compassion, common sense, and genuine concern for what is truly best for his patient.
What impressed me most was his honesty regarding my knees.
There were certainly treatments he could have recommended, but instead of treating simply because he could, he carefully explained why, in my particular situation, I might have more to lose than to gain from unnecessary intervention.
To me, that demonstrated something invaluable: excellent medical judgment combined with integrity and genuine concern for the patient.
I left feeling that his priority was not to "do something," but to do what was actually best for me.
He was also accompanied by a physician in training during my appointment, and I loved watching the way Dr. Palmer shared his knowledge and reasoning. If that physician is learning from Dr. Palmer, he certainly has an extraordinary mentor and role model.
I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Palmer highly enough. I left my appointment not only impressed by an outstanding physician, but feeling blessed, heard, respected, reassured, and genuinely valued as a patient.
For once, I am actually looking forward to my follow-up appointment, simply because it will be a pleasure to see such an exceptional doctor and wonderful human being again! read more
