“Dr. David and I have been working together to advance my state of Being Well now, for six-seven years. When an issue I had sought relief for - from a Chiropractor proved less than completely satisfying, I consulted Mt. Sinai and they mentioned that Dr. Perna's strengths included being able to effectively counsel me for the issue that drove me to seek relief from the chiropractic,
Dr. Dave examined me to rule out the possibility I might need surgery, recommended PT (physical therapy) and has been responsive to every inquiry I've sent his way...
Highly recommended.”
