My wife was in need of hip replacement, we chose Dr, Palmeri because he was in network. The initial consultation was great, we both had confidence and felt good about the choice.  Surgery was scheduled for a Friday at his insistence as she was in so much pain. We got a call the day before canceling the surgery. As we asked questions, the staff became less helpful, and evasive. There was NO patient care, just lies, attitudes and stonewalling. The whole experience was so bad, we have chosen another Doctor. If you take the time to read all of Palmeri reviews on various site, he ain't that good
