In patients' words
"Dr. Edelen and her staff are amazing! I feel so blessed and privileged to have them here to take such wonderful care of our son!"
— Vitals user review"She has NO bedside manner. She is "in-your-face" and barely lets you speak at all. She asks if you are going to do what she says and, before giving you time to answer, says - "If you are not going to do what I say, I will not see you again.""
— Vitals user review"I cannot recommend Dr. John Palmer. I have been under his care while experiencing a severe decline in my health, including significant unexplained weight loss and instability. Instead of urgency or a treatment plan, I was met with silence. It is unacceptable to feel your health deteriorating while your specialist is dismissive and impossible to reach."
— Healthgrades user review"He is a great doctor, he has great bedside manners, very through, and explains everything to me. I would recommend this doctor to anyone including my closest family members."
