Unfortunately the time allotted to see patients is 20 minutes. It does put a time constraint on the doctor to touch on all concerns by the patient. Dr Palma is very good, but I feel for her because it is not enough time to address all concerns. As a patient we may feel rushed.

Dr Palma is a great doctor. I am moving downtown and losing use of my car, so I will have to get a new PCP, and I hope that person will be as good as Dr Palma.

I didn't get my lab work completed b4 the appointment. Since then, I have completed the labs and the results are on my electronic record. There was instructions to have specific medical appoints. A representative called me back to schedule the appointment, per Dr. Palma. I would recommend Dr. Palma. She listens and cars about the health of her patients.
