I expected to get someone straight out of school and I was just a number. I was wrong. Dr. Palen was totally engaged with my needs and took the time to make sure we were going the right way. Certainly changed my opinion. I have already had my best friend make an appointment with her.

For this appt, I got there early. They called me right to the back and Dr. Palen came in right after. I had plenty of time to chat with her and discuss my issues. The previous appt with her, I was 15 min early and got called back after 5 min. I sat to wait. It was over 15 min later that she came in. She apologized and said she had to work with a patient on the phone.

I felt that she listened to me, this was my first visit, so she didn't have all of my information.

I have been a patient with Evergreen for over 20 years. Having moved recently, this was my first visit with Dr. Palen. I carefully read bios of doctors in this clinic that were accepting new patients and choose Dr. Palen based upon her philosophy and reviews. I was very impressed with her knowledge and thoroughness. Even though it was the first time meeting her, I had complete confidence that she had reviewed my medical records and had an understanding of my health and overall well-being. I left confident that I had made the right choice in selecting Dr. Palen As my PCP.

Dr Palin is an excellent provider. I have recommended her to several of my friends. She is always very professional, thoughtful and thorough. She has a vast depth of knowledge and has enlightened me on several things no other provider has taken the time to do.
