Dr Michael Palma is treating me for Craniofacial Pain. He is the only Dr that I have seen to properly Diagnose me with and MRI and blood work that came back positive for Degenerate Joint Disease. I would highly recommend him as a facial Pain Specialist.
I recently had a new patient consultation with Dr. Palma. I went for a painful, clicking jaw. I felt as though he was rushing and blew me off as if I was just your common hypochondriac patient. He told me my condition is due to stress. I suffer greatly everyday with my condition and was told to come back only if I could not open my mouth up wider than a pencil. I wouldn't have gone to him in the first place if I didn't have a health issue. I rarely see doctors, and I will definitely seek another opinion.
Dr. Palma is AWESOME! The staff in his office is polite, helpful, and efficient. They make both my son and me feel like we know what is going on, what to expect, and how things work in their office. My son was treated like royalty, and nobody treated me like a dummy, even though I had a million questions about orthodontics, payment plans (which they offer without question or credit check), and scheduling. I chose this office because of insurance, but I'm glad my money is going to a place like this! (PS - my son and I have different last names now that I am remarried. This office is the only one I have ever been to where the staff, from receptionist to Doc, makes a point to call me "Mrs. Short" when they need something from me. They don't just call my son's name across the waiting room in hopes that the grown-up attached to that child will answer. It was a cool bonus for me :))
