We cannot say enough good things about Dr Palash! He is truly exceptional in every way. We actually moved to a town over an hour away, and without hesitation, we continue to make the drive because the level of care he provides is simply unmatched.He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, and he always takes the time to listen to our concerns without ever making us feel rushed. He treats our children with such kindness and compassion, which immediately puts both kids and parents at ease. We fully trust his medical judgment and appreciate how thorough and thoughtful he is at every visit.Finding a family Dr you genuinely trust is rare, and we are so grateful to have found him. The long drive is more than worth it for the peace of mind knowing our children and entire family are receiving the best possible care. We highly recommend him to any parents or anyone looking for a family Dr who truly goes above and beyond.

My father's conditions are complex (limbic ALS), and Dr. Palash ALWAYS takes time with us and looks into every area to advocate for us and provide the best care. He's the best doctor we've ever seen. He's an expert who explains each process/test/condition/medication in a way we can remember and understand, and he is compassionate and makes excellent use of everyone's time. The staff are always warm, helpful and fun - they like my dad's wheelchair license plate ("I'M OLD - The Fossil State").
