Reviews
Was very patient and thorough
Very professional, informative, helpful and a good experience
Dr. Palaskas has been my oncologist for the past three years, and I am incredibly grateful for the care he has given me. He has always been patient, kind, and willing to give me the space to ask questions, express my concerns, and, on more than one occasion, cry in his office. He never made me feel rushed or like my worries were insignificant. He listened, answered my questions, and consistently treated me with compassion and respect. Even during stressful appointments, he always greeted me with a smile and a warmth that made things feel a little less frightening. Dr. Palaskas is not only an excellent physician, but an extraordinarily kind human being. I feel very fortunate to have had him caring for me during these past three years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Dr Palaskas thoroughly explained my condition elaborately! He answered every question I could think of and offered answers to questions I hadn’t. Dr Palaskas bedside manner was exceptional, an experience I’ve never experienced before.
Very good very proffesional
