Good practical advice. Good explanation.

Good surgon and good listening
After a very successful broken kneecap surgery, I tripped and fell again on my knee! I saw a couple other doctors who I didn’t feel were giving me the best advice. So I went back to Dr. Pallia. I knew he would help me in his humorous and honest manner. He looked at my knee very carefully and suggested a cortisone injection. He gave me the injection and my knee is already better! I am so glad I went to see him again. Highly recommend him!! His staff is a joy to work with also! They treat you with respect and kindness.
Really pleased with everything and everyone. Great Doctor and unbelievable great service. There’s nothing I can complain about. I thank my doctor and everyone I had contact with. I really am very grateful for my doctor and everyone who had apart in my surgery and stay at hospital. Thank God for you all.
DR Pallia and his team were 100 percent professional and any questions I had were quickly addressed. Felt at ease before the procedure was completed.
Dr. Pallia and staff were Professional, courteous, and caring.
Dr. Pallia is knowledgeable. He listens to me and my concerns. He has a wonderful disposition and sense of humor.
Having knee pain for many years I went to see Dr Pallia and was informed of the actions I could take. Recommendations of knee stretching and physical therapy with corticosteroid injection. Will be starting PT in September and follow up with Dr Pallia. Treatments are helping. I feel better now than I have in several years. Thank You.
The office staff is always very polite and professional.
Good
