Perri Anthony J, MD

I do not know if Dr Perri is good or not. This review is about his office staff and his Physician Assistant, Michelle. I should have been concerned when they told me I would be seeing his PA instead of him, but I was not since I see a PA at my PCP office and she is great! Unfortunately, Michelle, talks to people like they are children and does not listen to anything being said. The problem I went in for did not even get fixed. I called the office and spoke to the office manager and she said I could come see Michelle again and see if she could do better. Then they told me they would not see me until I paid the bill that was outstanding. I asked them why I would pay for a service that did not work and told them I would pay the bill when she actually did what I was paying for. They told me to talk to billing first and I did. Billing said they would do some research and get back to me. No one called or returned my follow up calls. The office manager did not call me back either. They did keep sending me bills until I paid. So now they really do not care since they got their money. I guess Dr Perri probably isn’t any better than the staff he hired to work for him.

The staff was notably unfriendly, but Dr. Perri was punctual and wait time exceptional. Unfortunately, he had a canned pre-​diagnosis and treatment plan for my condition. It was printed on a sheet of paper and handed to me. It was minimally explained. He barely examined me and there was little opportunity for questions. He answered my one question in a curt manner as he was walking out of the room.
I stuck with his treatment plan for a period of six weeks. I saw no improvement, but instead there was worsening of my condition. A second opinion with another dermatologist determined his diagnosis and treatment plan to be incorrect. I saw improvement in my condition in as little as four weeks, with a treatment plan tailored to my condition.

Going to the doctor is never a conveniece. Thankfully, visiting a dermatologist was not at all inconvenient. Friendly, efficient and caring!

I wish I could rate this place lower than 1 star. Not only were the office staff nasty (picking their teeth, sucking on fingers, yelling about their personal lives, etc) but the doctor is an absolute joke. He prescribed a medication used as hormone therapy for transgender females for my mild acne… He had made up his mind on how to treat me before he had seen me and told me to look at his blog when I asked a question. He was in and out of the room within less that 5 minutes and I was left completely stunned. I don’t know how anyone else could write a nice review for this place but dear lord, I’m never going back.

The office staff clearly loves making it difficult to get simple information. The front desk staff seem incompetent and the «manager» Alba is condescending, unapologetic and downright not fit for her job. Patient care is not the number one priority.

Very personable, fast, and was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. One of the best experiences I’ve had with a dermatologist

I have seen several other dermatologists in the Woodlands area but one was not on my network and the other 3 were jerks. Dr. Perri was not the highest rated but had the closest available appointment time as I had an immediate concern. When I got to the appointment, I filled out all of the forms and the receptionists did their job adequately but nothing to write home about. After a short wait (exactly on time) I was called to the back where Jayne got my history and reason for the visit. She then said that the Doctor would be in soon… and he was! Dr. Perri was very upbeat, friendly, and addressed my concerns before the exam. During the exam he was explaining what he saw and what could be done. When he was totally finished he gave me the opportunity to ask questions and was very responsive to them all in terms that I could easily understand. While he was friendly and upbeat, he was TOTALLY professional (that is hard to get both personalities together). I made my next appointment before I left today.

I had a wonderful visit with Dr. Perri. He was very friendly and personable. Also, the visit was quick, I was in and out within 30 minutes. His staff was also very polite and professional. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. It’s the first time I walked out of a doctors office with a smile on my face.

What a disappointment.
I cant say I had the same «great experience» that the poster below me had… in fact, the only commonality was the shotty customer service; ill touch on that in a bit.
Being new to Texas the people and my career embraced me with open arms. My skin, on the other hand, not so much. In San Francisco we have a cool breeze all year long and no humidity so the Texas heat caused me to break out more than normal (and yes, more than I did in high school… embarrassing). Decided to take a half day from work to see a dermatologist here in the Woodlands; I made my appointment via ZocDoc (which is wonderful, by the way) and showed up on time.
Upon coming in I was asked to fill out the standard legal forms and hand over my insurance. Prior to being seen the receptionist (who was pretty rude to say the least) calls me over and says, «Dr. Perri doesn’t like to bill so you’ll have to pay today». Um, what? Why wasn’t this disclosed to me online before I took off work early? I did give all of my insurance info prior to making my appointment. Or why wasn’t this disclosed to me when they called a day ahead of time to confirm my appointment? I get it, you don’t like to bill… but you should also honor prior agreements. Looking past that inconvenience, I ask «ok, well how much is it going to be?» and I get a wonderful blank stare followed by «we wont know until you come out. It can range anywhere from $ 100-​$ 1000». LOLWUT?
First of all, healthcare in America is a joke. On top of that I am supposed to play the guessing game with my doctor regarding the cost of my appointment? Um, no. how about you bill me and I pay through my insurance like a normal doctor. This whole ordeal was just a mess and the staff was unprofessional. Instead of offering a solution or even asking the doctor to take my insurance I get the «he doesn’t like to bill» and I get my id and insurance back. Im not a scrub. In fact I am a young professional who came in wearing a suit… I can assure you that you would’ve gotten your money. I pay for my BMW every month just fine I am sure I can afford a small doctors bill but am not willing to play a guessing game with anyone. *nose in the air*
Be advised. When making an appointment CONFIRM that they will in fact take your insurance (mine was Aetna plan from a fortune 50 company) and even then, confirm AGAIN when they call to verify your appointment. Its unfortunate there has to be so much hand holding even when dealing with a doctor (obamacare anyone?)… I wont be coming back.
