I cannot think of anything better. I have always received Superb Healthcare and service from this medical practice. My Doctor, Michael Palmer MD and his Staff has given me the BEST care I think a patient can get. To answer the above question? Absolutely nothing that can be done to improve my trust and respect. I already have the utmost trust and respect for this medical team for years!!!

None! I was treated very kindly and they did not have an appointment for me and I left and they called me back a few hours later and had me come back and Dr Palmer was wonderful and I found out what I needed to know. They were great and I thank you so much...
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/22/2025
The physician was impatient, condescending and frankly rude. Not to mention disrespectful and dismissive. I would rather not return and risk a repeat episode
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/17/2025
I was very pleased with my care
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/18/2025
I was really disappointed by Dr Palmer. I was really concerned about my hand and it is hurting still a lot and he would not listen and only wanted to send me back to work even though I can't even lift a plate. I have to lift up to 50 pounds and he only said that he could not do anything else for me. This is really concerning that a doctor did not even do a CT scan for my arm or do further treatment. They only found the mistake later on and called me back to schedule it but I am really concerned and disappointed with the whole treatment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/17/2025

I have no recommendations. As always, when I visit this facility, everyone was very professional and treated me with utmost respect and care. It was evident that everyone worked as a team, from registration, nurses, X-ray technician, and Dr. Palmer, and checkout. Top notch professionals that are great. I would highly recommend this facility to others needing care!

Dr. Palmer did a great job of explaining the echelons of treatment for arthritis of the hands.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/24/2025
I think it's good to be able to hedge statements with a like "in my personal experience" or "from what I currently know.... But I have not read about that exact topic" rather than blanket assertions that may be out of date or they simply don't know. I respect a professional willing to say they are currently unsure but they will confirm their facts before telling me. That aside, everyone I interacted with was kind and listened to me.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/22/2025
Cannot think of anything more the staff could do. Very professional and caring staff.

I don't know. Dr. Palmer did an awesome job on the injections.. no pain!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/17/2025
I realize that everyone is very busy. The only thing is that they were 30 minutes late calling me back so the only thing that I can suggest is that a nurse or someone could come to the waiting room and just let us know that they are just running a little behind and will be getting with us. There were two other patients also in waiting room that were waiting and wondering about that. I think that would be courtesy to your patients. The Doctor did apologize for the delay and I appreciate that. Thank you.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2025
I/we definitely recommend the Hand Center and Dr Palmer-1st Class!!

This is the most efficient doctors office I've ever been in and I've had a medical sales business for 30 years so I have been in a lot of. Starting with my original phone call to make an appointment and then registering at the desk. The front and staff and everyone is incredibly efficient and would be a model for other doctors offices. I was really quite surprised. I didn't even have to wait two extra minutes for my appointment. Definitely top shelf!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/27/2025
Excellent experience; no recommend changes
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/25/2025
It must have been a bad day at the office. Dr was running 40 to 60 minutes behind. There was confusion about x-ray positions for my wrists. Sent to x-ray two different times with delays in-between each session. Dr. Seemed to be extremely rushed. Not sure if anyone washed their hands. I can confirm that no hand washing was done in the room with me. Small old rooms seem less than clean. I am very unimpressed with this visit. I always expect more from Prisma!
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/24/2025
I waited 1 hour past my appointment time. I finally decided to leave and saw the doctor on the way out. I did not stay.
