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.

Best Doctor EVER!!!
Dr. Pearlman takes his time to make sure you understand everything before you leave. Your meds, testing or any changes that he may make to your dosage or change of medication. He is the one doctor that really cares about you and your health. He's the BEST!!!

Regular scheduled appointment
This was not my first appointment with Dr. Pearlman. As with each of my visits, he was fully engaged, familiar with my records, and spent as much time as necessary to cover my concerns. I have no reservation about recommending him to others.

A doctor that doesn’t double book appointments and actually sees you at your appointment time!!! Dr. Pearlman thoroughly answered my questions and explained next steps in a calm and reassuring way. His front desk staff is welcoming and happy. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr Pearlman is a wonderful doctor. He takes the time to explain your medical condition and answer questions. My cardiologist, Dr DiLorenzo, has the utmost confidence in Dr. Pearlman's expertise and before Dr DiLorenzo make any changes in my medications he notes on MyChart records and/or tells me that no changes will be made unless Dr. Pearlman agrees.

A doctor who takes his time, finally!
This was my first visit to Dr. Pearlman, and my first visit to a Nephrologist. He came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. He took the time to explain my lab results and put them into context which helped me to understand my condition. Very pleased!

My first visit was outstanding! The receptionists were cheerful and helpful. Dr Pearlman was professional and did his homework in regards to understand my complex medical history. He took the time to give me an in-depth analysis of the issues and medical concerns. I was relaxed and felt comfortable asking any concerns I had. I appreciated his candid approach and detailed recommendations for treatment. Dr. Pearlman advice regarding the need to get the surgery I need was very helpful and helped to eliminate any pervious concerns I had. I highly recommend him to other patients.

Dr. Pearlman is patient, knowledgeable, experienced , trained & professional with his work and work ethics. He is absolutely amazing. We are blessed to have met him. He is caring, kind and joyful when meeting with my mom and I. He knows that my mom is diagnosed with Dementia and still finds a way to maintain a smile on her face every 6 months when we meet him about her kidney function. He explains and breaks down every aspect of the blood work, tests, medication, diets, etc.. so that we can understand. His office staff are kind and attention to detail. Thank you for working with us.

We love Pearlman. My father has been seeing him for few years now. Dr. Pearlman is the kindest, most down to earth and attentive physician I have ever met. We live about 50 miles away from his closest office but after meeting with him for the first time, I knew I didn’t want to take my dad anywhere else for his condition. Every appointment we had (in person or virtual) has gone without any issues. If there was ever a delay during an in office visit, Dr. Pearlman personally greeted us in the waiting room to let us know he was running behind. I know my dad is in great hands and will receive the most appropriate care for his condition.
