Perlman Clinic

My daughter and I have been patients of Dr. Perlman and Dr. Caso for years. The doctors and their staff always take excellent care of us. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

I cannot say enough great things about this practice!
I was able to get a same day appointment, Dr. Keller took care of my injury and I was able to return to work.
Thank you so much!

I have been a patient of Dr. Perlman’s since I moved to San Diego for college. I was in need of a dr while I was living there and was so lucky to have found her. She is so sweet and caring and I know that I’m in good hands whenever I’m there. I’ve had really bad experiences in the past but I know that I trust Dr. Perlman no matter what. She is a professional and her passion for helping her patients is what I love. I no longer live in San Diego but make sure to come once a year for my physical and make sure she checks me up! Thank you, Dr. Perlman !!!

I had a wonderful experience here :) my appt began a few minutes late but the care and attention Dr Switzer gave was well worth it. She is kind, genuine and understanding.
I will look forward to this appointments in the future :)

I was having side and back pains so I went to the Perlman Clinic to get checked out. After consulting with the doctor, she recommended getting some ultrasounds done. Although the symptoms were gone and I felt better — I still hadn’t heard from the doctor. I called twice to ask them about the ultrasound results, with an answer of they will look into and get back to me. I never received a call back. They were very attentive and good during the appointment. But, the lack of follow through was horrible. I will not be going back.

Dr. Perlman and her staff are awesome. I joined the clinic right after I graduated college (had a few health concerns) and Stephen was amazing. Haven’t looked back since. High praise for this clinic

I can’t recommend Dr. Perlman enough. I have been a patient for many years and I was more than happy to follow her to her new office. I think physicians are under a tremendous amount of stress but I also think some of them use that to make excuses for poor personal service. Never felt that from her. Dr. P. has always been so kind and compassionate with me and I didn’t think twice about referring my girlfriend and family members. Her knowledge and patience and her kindness is what keeps me coming back. Just love her. Highly recommend.

I have to say Dr. Perlman is an expert. I have visited many other Juviderm cosmetic doctors and haven’t received the results as natural as I did with her. She takes her time to figure out what it is exactly your vision and shes honest beyond your expectations and delivers what she promises. She won’t try to over sell you any more or extra product to her benefit. She will use exactly what is needed to achieve the natural look and model feel and experience that is almost pain free. She’s very gentle and my lips look amazing. I barely got my lips injected with juviderm yesterday and I have not had any brusing if any that was noticeble. I will definitely recommend her to anyone going to get any kind of cosmetic enhancements for the first time because she won’t make you look anything but natural and beautiful.

This past week I was feeling awful (not sure if it was lack of sleep or there was something really wrong with me) so I had to go see a Doctor. The choice was simple — I mean, I’ve known Dr. Perlman for years. Anyway, I called to see if they could book me on Friday when I was in town and thankfully they could. I showed up and met with Dr. Perlman’s PA (believe her name was Emily) and the experience was great. For one thing, we discussed all my issues and this part of the process probably took 15 minutes. Secondly we had my ears, eyesight, and most of my body checked right after. And to wrap things up, I was able to get my labs done on site. They’ve since called me and notified me of the results.
Bottom line, easy appointment and very friendly/​caring staff. There is nothing I hate more than feeling rushed at a hospital.

At the recommendation of a close friend, I was referred to Dr Monica Perlman
as being one of the best physician’s of the Scripps Medical Group, in La Jolla. Since that time Dr Perlman has opened up her private practice, now known as the Perlman Clinic, I have followed her as a patient ever since for the last 15 years
The staff of Doctors and Physician Assistants, in my opinion, are some of the best in the medical industry and posses the same phenomenal level of knowledge, work ethic & compassion as Dr. Perlman.
She never makes you feel rushed, listens and addresses any concerns you may have and if it’s not her speciality, she’ll immediately refer you to the best medical colleagues in the area.
In cases of emergency, I’ve made same day appointments and was seen within several hours of the call by Dr Perlman herself or a Member of her Medical team in either the La Jolla or Hillcrest Location.
The front and back office staff are courteous and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile for a patients needs. I would highly recommend her as Physician, as I myself, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I had been getting unusual palpitations and wanted to get my heart checked. I was referred to Dr. Perlman per many recommendations.
I arrived and right away felt welcomed, the staff was friendly, the office beautiful, and the wait time minimal. Dr. Perlman took the time to talk to me about my condition and was very attentive, attentive to my situation and my well being.
She had me do a heart and lung exam and reviewed my general health. I can trust Dr. Perlman and have the accessibility and ease to see her instead of going through the hassle of a hospital.

I could not think of a nicer medical group. They are kind, responsive, they take time to talk to their patients and they genuinely care about you. The staff is always courteous and communication is great. They were a great find for my primary care.

It is painful to hear any negative review towards Dr. Monica Perlman, her P.A.‘s and office staff. I moved to SD in 2009 and collapsed before our furniture even arrived. I had the same Dr. for the last 20 years where we moved from and here I was in the hospital with no doctor. Right away we found dr Perlman. She and her PA’s are amazing, attentive and extremely caring. They have called me after hours and even an email. Now just as it is with all practices, they are busy but that is the nature of the business. The office staff is always right on top of my appointments, labs, referrals and to me that is enough. I am first to admit that going to the Dr. when you are sick and miserable is not fun, and maybe that negative energy is coming from you. 5 years now and I don’t foresee changing Dr.‘s anytime soon. Thank you dr. Perlman, Dr. Stephen, Dr. Switzer, Rosa and all the front staff for your professionalism, patient care and compassion!

Dr. Switzer is one of the nicest doctors I have come across!

I was so nervous choosing a new doctor with my insurance plan. this is inside the scripps building, it’s a very nice office, easy to find. Gals at the front were great. They saw me in a very timely manner. The PA Stephen was very kind and friendly. I feel totally comfortable with them!

I have been with this doctor for over five years and still have not met Dr. Perlman. Which is not great when the doctors that work with her leave after about a year so I have not met with the same doctor consistently. The office staff is always very short with you and seem to be annoyed any time you call with a question. And they are completely useless when it comes to dealing with other people’s insurance or calling you back!

I have to upgrade my already great review and add a few things to it. Since my last posting Dr. Perlman has added PA Stephen to her team. I’ve had great experience with Dr. Perlman and Stephen and I must admit that my husband and I have outstanding care. We always get quick return calls or immediate help, emails, personal service and true concern for our health needs. My experience with everyone in the Perlman clinic has been outstanding. The front desk folks make me smile the minute I walk in and make sure to say goodbye when I leave. My family has the best care available.
Dr. Perlman, Stephen and the entire Perlman clinic make sure I’m happy and healthy. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
P. S. returning my email questions at 11:30 pm is way above and beyond. Thanks for caring at all hours. :)

I am a new patient and only been twice but it seems like a very good office. The staff seem to be on top of things and very friendly. I have been working with the PA Stephen Caso and he has been FANTASTIC. He really takes his time with me and is very willing to refer me to services that it seems like I need. The only reason I only gave this office 4 stars is that I never not even met the main doctor Dr Monica Perlman yet. It seems like the PAs and the office staff really run this office (which may be a good thing).

I really like the Perlman Clinic – well, I’m as fond of a doctor’s office as I could be.
(1) I am ALWAYS sick.
(2) I’ve only been with 2 doctor’s since I was little… one of them was my pediatrician and the other doctor, Dr. Perlman (or Jennifer – she is one of Dr. Perlman’s Physician Assistants).
And yes. now you can laugh about the fact that my pediatrician took care of me until I was about 16 years old. To be fair, she was really good with patients who had asthma so, I couldn’t care less if I had to share the waiting room with 6 year old children.
(3) because of such complicated health issues, that are NEVER the common cold, I always stick with a good doctor when I find one.
(4) I found one, it’s Dr. Perlman’s Clinic
I’ve been with them for about a couple years now. They consistently have great staff that are always really helpful and nice. Jennifer, is the doctor I see when Dr. Perlman isn’t available and she is so attentive. And, she and Dr. Perlman are some of the few doctor’s I’ve come across that actually listen to me when I tell them about my medical history and previous medications I’ve used instead, of giving me the «I’m a doctor, I know what I’m doing and you don’t know your own body» speech.

I chose Dr. Perlman as my Primary Care Provider… what a mistake!
I wanted to start my Gardasil shot series, which I knew was fully covered by my insurance company. When I went, the girl at the front told me that it isn’t covered. Since I wanted to start the series right away, I just paid out of pocket. Even though I had told them when I made the appointment that I wanted my Gardasil shot, they did not have in the office, and I had to go to the pharmacy downstairs, but it for $ 164.00, and then go back upstairs to her office and have them administer it. They also charged me a $ 26.00 fee for administering the shot, when I had paid my $ 15.00 co-​pay.
I went home and called my insurance, yep, sure enough, they shots are covered! So I had to start a claim to get all that money back. I was only supposed to pay my $ 15.00 co-​pay. I changed doctors, and just had my second Gardasil shot, and it was such a better experience! I was only charged my $ 15.00 co-​pay, as it should be! I’m still waiting for my $ 190.00 that I shouldn’t have paid!
