Dr Palafox is kind, empathetic, she uses total transparency, educates her patience, and is always kind and courteous. She has a great bedside manner and I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a general surgeon.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2019-02-04

Had to take my wife for her gallbladder issue that she had been managing for years but suddenly needed surgery. Dr Palafox was accommodating and saw her immediately, had her in the operating room the next day. We have been to some really good doctors before and some not so good, Dr Palafox is the best we have seen. It’s worth the drive if you’re far like we were. Staff is excellent as well.
