Dr Palekar is a wonderful, caring, and even funny doctor! He makes you feel at ease - even having an issue to deal with he makes everything seem ok! Today he said maybe I should see a specialist - I didn't give it a second thought I trust everything he suggests and I rely on his advice! His staff are wonderful ! I see the same nurse every month and when she saw that I lost a lil weight ( I had been working it) she was so happy and encouraging for me! It was ao sweet to see that she was happy for me! i ttruthfully would give his whole office 10 stars if I could - make and appointment with him you will not regret it!

Dr Palekar is a warm and understanding doctor. Going to my do doctors appointments are stress free and quick . If you are looking for a family doctor I urge you to meet him. I love that not only do we talk about medical issues he takes a few minutes to talk about other aspects of my life . I don't think there are many doctors like that out there! Another key point is that i have never waited more than 10 mins to be seen. The staff are all warm and organized. I am so happy that I found Dr Palekar.

Always makes me feel comfortable.

I was completely happy with my appointment! He was so nice - I am in pain and very uncomfortable and he made me feel better just talking to him! He explained everything to me and just made me feel like there is a light at end of the tunnel. The wait was only 5 minutes - the office is clean and very up to date. I am just so happy that I found him! I am so thrilled that I found ZocDoc bc i will use that with confidence when I need to find another doctor.
