Does anyone have experience with Dr. Mark Palmer, or know of any excellent pediatric ear doctors? My son needs surgery to repair a large hole in his eardrum and we are new to the area. We are near aledo, and driving time is not an issue, we just want the best care for him.
We liked Dr. Palmer, and got a second opinion from Dr. Burkett. We are planning on going ahead with the surgery suggested by Dr. Palmer soon. Thank you all for your responses, it helped confirm that he is a well respected ear surgeon and that we made the right choice for our son!!
Dr. Palmer put tubes in my son's ears when he was 10 months old. We have another appointment with him this Friday to get those replaced and to take out his adenoids. He is awesome and I would reccomend him to anyone. Good luck!
Dr. Robert Burkett! I had asked around to all of my friends and everyone I knew used him. I saw there was a response on here that no other doctors come out to talk to you after surgery but Dr. Burkett did with us and does with all of his patients.
My son had to have tubes in his ears and we absolutely loved him. Very professional but at the same time kind and very willing to explain everything so that we could understand. Would recommend him to anyone.
Hi B.,
Dr Palmer is the best. He put tubes in my son's ears as well as several friends children. Everyone has been happy with him. I live in Aledo. Welcome to the area. I'm sure your son's surgery will go perfectly.
Dr. Palmer put tubes in my son's ears when he was 10 months old, we loved him. Although my husband and I had already decided to go with tubes, he was very informative in the consultation with reasons why he made his recommendation for surgery, but was not pushy either. I would recommend him.
I have heard good things about him. We have used Dr. Robert Burkett, they are located in the same building. Good luck!
First off, WE LOVE doctor Palmer!!! Both my 6 and 9 year olds went to see him last year. He is greatness!!! The staff is nice and make you feel like you are patient #1. With both of my kids, when we were in the waiting room he was the ONLY doctor that come out to talk to the parents after surgrey; everyone else would get a phone call.
I even had a friend whose daughter needed tubes. I told him about Dr. Palmer but his insurance referred him elsewhere. When discussing his situation to his boss he came to find out the boss's wife worked for the doctor. She herself said Dr. Palmer was the best.
We believe he was the right doctor for us and use him over and over again. Best of luck to you and your family.
