I had an appointment today and it is his surgery day, but he wanted to see me and help me. He closely heard what was occurring and was conducting specialized tests on me. This really gave me a calming effect. I told him this, he grins at me and says I know. I chuckled, and said, bit smug answer. He laughed and said he had been told he too is abrasive and I say oh you’re just succinct. This Doctor is highly intelligent. He thinks things through before acting. He is Not a surgeon that mills patients! You cannot in this specialty! This is seriously a life on the line. The undivided attention of approximately 2 hours was really a gift! How many Doctors’ these days other than a friend or relative would give you that type of medical service?! I came away with valuable information, things I really did not want to hear, but the point is the extra mile Dr. Perlman goes is Invaluable! He does accept many insurances. Just call to be sure he has room to see you. 9 times out 10 I bet he will see a new patient and at least share good advice if not able to help. Thank you Dr. Perlman you really do rock! PS. I sincerely hope no one must visit DR Perlman as this means serious things may or have happened.
