About this business
I enjoy Family Medicine because it allows me the opportunity to work with patients not only on their chronic illnesses, but also healthy preventative measures. In addition, treating patients of ages from the infant stages to the elderly is challenging and extremely rewarding.

Dr. Palmer filled in for my PCP while out of office. I do not accept being condescended to or disrespected. I felt both when speaking with Karen. I feel most comfortable when talking to someone with a personality. I was not comfortable during this visit, it felt more like an internet search than discussion with a doctor. I don’t fault people for having poor social skills, however, being judgmental, rude and not listening are character flaws to me. This was a very flawed appointment.
I would not recommend Dr. Palmer, particularly to anyone struggling with their mental health. I left every appointment feeling more anxious than when I arrived. I do think she is knowledgeable, but I found her incredibly cold and difficult to confide in. Her bedside manner is quite poor.

I would not recommend her for someone who is dealing with anxiety and or depression as she is insensitive and doesn't have good bedside manner with mental health issues. I did really like her at first but over the years I have been increasingly frustrated. Time to look for a new doctor!
We were patients for approximately two years until she made my teenage daughter so uncomfortable with her questions during a physical that we left the practice. She’s condescending and doesn’t believe patients and doesn’t see fit to have a parent present even if the child wants them there. My then 13 year old daughter was so upset that Dr. Palmer kept asking her if she was sexually active and if she wanted birth control even after she said she was not. She left the appointment saying, “mum she thinks I’m lying”. Maybe someon... read more
I think the best way to describe my 6/22/20 visit is that I cannot wait until my next one in December!! Dr. Palmer has a very unique gift of not only presenting diagnostic information but more importantly, inspiring me to do better and better to lower my health risks. She gives me freedom to disagree on risk of certain treatments yet tacitly drives me to beat the risk algorithms or to otherwise prove them clinically flawed. The determination she instills is with me every day an by God, I want to prove I can attain my last an... read more

I’m so glad she was referred to me. She cares about your health, and you can tell she enjoys what she does.
Dr. Palmer is an intelligent and thoughtful doctor - and a very good listener. I trust her judgment and I feel respected by her. I'm glad she's my primary care doctor.
Dr. Palmer always listens to me and doesn't just go through the paces like many other doctors.
