“Dr. Perelman was really really awesome. I’ve seen several GI docs and he has by far been the most comforting and validating. He let me tell him what I wanted in terms of tests that would make me the most comfortable about my symptoms, and he then was able to provide me with the risks involved and if he truly thought it was needed. He was super knowledgeable on all my questions and was able to direct me towards next steps in a clear and direct manner. I will be seeing him from now on.”
