Overall experience was great. Only downside was the parking availability.

September 24, 2024Michael M.Verified patient

Dr. Perlo was affable, possesses a wide range of knowledge, and helped me to see more clearly the big picture. His significant experience, with what must be countless patients over the decades, offers a kind of finesse in his handling of complex questions. I appreciate his putting me on a conservative path, while also setting me up with a referral to a more specialized office.
