Dr Palese treated my wife an my father. All I can say is I wish all my doctors were as generous with their time and as accessible as he is. He is not only a great Doctor he is a remarkable person.

Dr. Palese removed my right kidney beautifully. I was nervous before the surgery but I feel better than I have ever felt in my life. My recovery was quick and easy and my scars are barley noticeable (2 months later). I’d recommend him to anyone, he’s definitely worth the wait. 6/5 stars

My husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer this year. Instead of taking the whole kidney, or a large piece of it, Dr. Palese used robotic surgery. He only took 10% of the kidney and my husband went home the next day. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Palese took excellent care of my husband for many years. He is highly skilled, brilliant and caring.

I made an appointment with Dr. Palese's office due to the great reviews he has. I was given a virtual appt. When I called to confirm this appointment and to make sure films and reports for my latest scan was obtained I was very abruptly told by his nurse Nicole that they do not see new patients virtually and that it is not their job to obtain patient's medical records.
