Great doc !
All a round excellent.
Well aware of my situation, and took very good care of it. Extremely happy with the service!
Dr DePalma was clear in explaining my arthritis condition. Explained options are available. Surgery would be one choice. Personable and confidently engaging. Never did I feel rushed or that any of my questions or concerns were trivial. Offered choices. Impressive first meeting. If I do elect hip replacement surgery I believe Dr DePalma will be someone I would be comfortable going into the operating room with. His consultation demeanor inspires confidence. Thank you Dr DePalma for making a difficult situation manageable.
