"Slow, unempathetic, impossible to get ahold of. Basically just a mill to squeeze as much MediCal money out of the state as possible."
— Loc8NearMe patient review"This 'doctors office' is a disgrace to the community. They provide no real care other than by a very stressed out PA, and unqualified support staff."
— Yelp review"Wonderful staff and Dr. Palmer is a caring professional physician. I can not say enough about their services. My family is eternally grateful!"
