Dr DePalma is excellent. He is professional and personable and has given me great relief from my knee pain
Took time to explain and answer questions.
Dr DePalma takes time to explain everything so a lay person understands exactly how the surgical procedure will work. Knowledgeable, patient and a great surgeon.
Always makes me feel important and confident about his explanation of how I am doing and feeling
