Saw the x-rays, of the prosthesis. Everything looks aligned. I was informed she is awesome; it's only week 2 after procedure and I am doing well. The real test is 5-6 months from now when I can operate at a normal pace. But so far, I am tracking this as a thumbs up.
Was in severe pain. Dr Palanca was very quick to mention surgery without even looking at my foot. Was so disappointed at how fast the appointment went and no follow up or advice. Esp since I had to wait so long to get an appointment. I saw another podiatrist at a different office, who actually looked at my foot, ordered an MRI, gave me exercises, ordered PT,and followed up with me.
Dr. Palanca surgically removed cyst on both feet, and did an outstanding job. The entire procedure from being diagnosed at Dr. Palanka‘s office to the recovery room at Poway Surgery Center went seamlessly. I can’t say enough positive things about my entire procedure! First and foremost Dr. Palanca is an excellent Orthopedic doctor-surgeon. Dr. P is caring, listens to your concerns, and offers a solution to your problem.I regularly have Cortisone shots in each foot for extreme pain due to arthritis. I find myself asking her “... read more
I found dr Palanca to be very short, curt, & overall dismissive of my pain. My exam lasted all of maybe 10 min and she gave me a cortisol shot & off she sent me. I had told her my foot pain was getting to be unbearable & that it was affecting my everyday life. She didn’t inquire further at all. I can’t even walk my dog and I’ve gained weight because it hurts to be on my feet to do anything. By the end of the day I was limping and barely able to get around. She asked zero follow up questions. She only asked if anything relive... read more
Dr. Palanka skill is nothing short than outstanding. I have Cortisone shots in both feet, for extreme pain do to arthritis. I’m here to tell you she is always spot on and with NO pain, or uncomfortableness. I’ve heard that Cortisone shots can and are extremely painful, but not with Dr. Palanka. The only negative I have to say has to do with the front desk to check in and to schedule appointments. The young lady receptionist is EXTREMELY rude and put out. She definitely should not work in any Customer Service environment. I t... read more
Dr Palanca has a very pleasant bedside manner. However, she was very quick to suggest a surgery that would only address part of a complicated foot and ankle problem. The exam just involved a cursory glance at my ankle and a request to attempt to stand on my toes. A subsequent second opinion was way more thorough and holistic in their approach. Ironically this came from a doctor of podiatry. In her introductory video Dr Palanca is keen to assert her superior qualifications in this area. Unfortunately, my experience was that a... read more
Dr Palanca adressed what I was told as a fracture of an old fracture. Instead it turned out to be two bone spurs at the base of my big toe. Dr. P. listened attentively, explained three possible procedures/directions I could take. I appreciated her frankness in that I had choices to treat the pain in my big toe. She gave me cortisone shots and shared the next steps we would take.
Dr. Palanca listened and explained surgical procedures well, but was ill equiped to deal with complications. I had to find another specialist on my own to treat the surgical damage I sustained. Communications at her office are difficult and she does not use a patient portal. The majority of her staff is professional and helpful.
Dr. Palanca performed tendon repair surgery on my ankle 6 months ago. Since then, I've been able to walk again without pain and limping. She is straightforward, honest and an extremely knowledgeable and skilled surgeon. She's also super nice and easy to talk to. I'm lucky I found her.
