Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very professional. Explained everything well. Happy with outcome.

Good dr, but….
Dr David Perlmutter is a fine doctor, but the waits in the office are interminable. An hour wait is not unusual. This overscheduling is entirely avoidable and shows a huge disrespect for patients.

The office staff are rude and inappropriate. If a referral was dependent on them, I would not return. Dr. Perlmutter Sr, however, is superb and he diagnosed my son after ten years of going to specialists.

My son and I took the day off from work so I could be driven to the office for a routine visit (needed transportation home due to having to get my eyes dialated)and was told that I had to pay $150.00 upfront when I arrived. They refused to see me , claiming it was my insurance and I should know my plan. Turned out they were wrong and my insurance called with me on 3 way and told them their error. I will not go back. The office manager was rude and misinformed. Not even a phone call apologizing!
