I was less than pleased with my interaction. I tried to discuss a snafu with a referral delay last month, the doctor disavowed all responsibility for what was plainly an office process problem. No evidence of a continuous improvement mind set.
Verified patient
My appointment went really well! I was nervous about going in and they made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Dr. Peraza is really great at what he does!
Verified patient
I had an amazing experience- I felt calm because we chatted about some Aussie comedy shows to distract as my treatment was happening. He also checked in each moment need be and it was painless, brief and successful. More than a week in I’m very happy with my results. (: ! Natural. (Light Botox)

Dr. Parraza was wonderful! It was my first time visiting this office. I was seen quickly, and the doctor came in literally minutes after going into the examining room! He was very personable, asked a lot of questions, and I couldn’t of thought it would go any better than it did! Thank you, Dr. and to your entire staff! ?

Dr Peraza said that he would do the next visit by video since our drive was so long. He was flattered we drove so far to see him
Verified patient
I was able to get an appointment much earlier than I expected. I'm not a young person, but I learned a lot at this appointment I wish I'd known years ago. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful.
Verified patient
I will go back!
Verified patient
Dr. J. Peraza was in the exam room for maybe 5 minutes. It felt rushed and more like a formality than an actual appointment with him.
Peraza Dermatology is absolutely amazing. I would recommend them to anyone who needed a dermatologist. They are thorough, respectful, thoughtful, everything you need or want in a provider. ?
Verified patient
Having been around the block a few times, I can definitely say that this Doctor has his act together. There is no finer physician anywhere to be found and I trust this guy with my life ! (literally) All I can give is a 5 star review, but in reality there is nobody better than this guy in all of New England. Take my word for it !
Verified patient
I will definitely be making my appointments with this provider. Great location, kind and effective staff. Hardly a wait time prior to my appointment (which is HUGE for me with a busy schedule) Dr is professional, compassionate and doesn't waste any time! 5 stars.

I hadn't seen "Doctor Jose" in several years, and was astonished that he remembered me, and my reasons for seeing him previously. "Doctor Jose" is extraordinary among physicians I have known over my very long life.

Verified patient
The place was jammed with patients waiting in line, and sitting waiting to be seen. I’m thinking “ Oh great, I’m going to be here all day”. Not the case. I was taken immediate into the exam room where Dr. Para
Verified patient
Dr. Peraza made sure to listen to my concerns, and got all the information that needed to be known, and let me tell information that I needed/wanted to tell. He made sure I knew what was happening at all times. The nurse was very nice and we exchanged a few laughs before and after Peraza came in. Overall great experience, easy booking, easy papers to fill out when you first register takes less than 10 minutes if you're an average reader.
The office is too small for all the appointments that they have at one time, there is never enough setting. The provider I saw didn't look at my records before I saw him as I see someone else and didn't know what to look at. Made a comment but then never went any further with it, was in and out very quickly and told to come back in a year. My normal doctor there does a through looking and I am usually there a lot longer with him telling me about my skin.

Friendly, informative, and efficient!
