I appreciate Dr. Palma. She goes above and beyond to ensure my health needs are met. Even though she has a full schedule I never feel rushed.

Dr Palma showed me a flyer with information regarding headlight, a company that takes srs insurance and that offers mental health services. I had been really struggling to find a therapist that took my insurance and was taking new patients and would answer their phone or respond to emails. I used the link on her flyer and I have a therapy appointment in two weeks. Thank you so much!
