Mitchell Mutterperl, MD

I’d love to be able to write a more accurate review of Dr. Mutterperl but considering the experience I just had over the phone with his receptionist, not only was I unable to get an appointment, but I will not be attempting to see him again. If being dismissive and impatient is part of her job description, she is overdue for a raise

I join Ronni D. and would give zero stars if I could. Stay away from Dr. Mutterperl and his partner, Dr. Ippolito, particularly if you are an older person. They will generalize and discount your symptoms and, as they did with my father, risk his life.
They were so quick to tell me «your father is fine — he just has „issues“» that they mistreated him and created problems for him that didn’t have to be there.
My father had very real physical problems that were continually dismissed — rudely I may add — by both of these doctors. My father had a serious sodium imbalance that nearly killed him because Dr. Mutterperl was «unavailable» and Dr. Ippolito wanted to send him home when I brought him to the hospital. He was incredibly rude to me and I got the same, «Your father has issues!!! There’s nothing to keep him in a hospital. I’m sending him home.» It was only because the emergency room doctor refused to send him home that he was treated.
When my father fell and had fractured 3 vertebrae in his back, they never even ordered an x-​ray. I was told he has spinal stinosis and he should get used to it! In the meantime, for the rest of my father’s life, he suffered severe pain in his back and legs because he was not treated properly for the fractures.
Dr. Mutterperl and Dr. Ippolito are really bad doctors. Find any other doctor in Bayonne. Stay away from these two!

Dr Mutterperl gets 4 stars for seeing my son on a walk-​in basis today, on a moment’s notice. Usually the doctor requires appointments for new patients. His receptionist Evelyn was very helpful in expediting this early morning appointment. Dr Mutterperl assessed my son with the use of a computer program, which I guess is the new thing in doctor’s offices now; he checks off the symptoms and the computer generates the possible prescriptions. The downside to this office is the lack of parking; make sure you don’t park directly in front of his office, as those spots are reserved for the other tenants of this garden apartment complex. Park on the street instead.
