I was seen immediately and my issue was addressed and I was promptly scheduled for surgery. A very well run and efficient office. I couldn't be more pleased.

I was having a wrist pain which has worsening gradually. I thought that I might need a surgery soon but would like to get Dr. Periman's opinion. I was glad for the session as Dr, Periman went through all pros and cons of surgery which I feel was great inputs for me to make my decision for surgery.
