Meet The Team

For the past quarter-century, Palm Tree Doctor has been a small, family-run business. Over the past twenty-five years, Palm Tree Doctor has become South Florida's premier palm maintenance company. We offer the expertise, attention to detail and customer service that is unrivaled, especially compared to the impersonal and gargantuan nationwide landscaping companies. Here we present our team members:
