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
I met Dr Perumal 8 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS. I freaked out to say the least and Dr. Perumal called me down and made me feel at ease. After 8 years of being her patient I feel so much better both physically and mentally because of her. She explains everything about MS on the patients level and is so knowledgeable about the disease. I highly recommend Dr Perumal

Dr Perumal reconfirmed my recent MS diagnosis. She listened carefully to my health concerns, answered my questions clearly, reviewed my scans and came up with a plan that will work for me. She made me hopeful for the future ahead for me. Being based in NJ, she is understanding of my preference for my treatments to be local. The process of starting home infusions for my eye condition easy.

Dr. Perumal is the best doctor!
When I first visited Dr. Perumal, I could barely talk and move. My husband explained the whole situation. I was after a head surgery and I was still recovering. Dr. Perumal suggested me to go the hospital for the second time. I spent there 11 days and it was worth it. I had plasma therapy 5 times. After the 5 th treatment I was able to talk and move (my right side of the body was not functioning). I couldn’t believe it. It was a miracle! Now I’m taking once a month infusion and I’m getting better! Compare to what I used to be it is a huge improvement! I don’t recognize myself. I’m so grateful that Perumal is my doctor! I count my blessings honestly. I have no words to describe how much I’m thankful. She is the best and she saved my life!

Dr. Perumal saved my life! – Aug 17, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Perumal?
Great experience with wonderful doctor
It was a wonderful experience seeing Dr Perumal. We saw Dr Perumal for my wife who has a neurologic condition and diagnosis had eluded few other physicians. She not only diagnosed her condition correctly but also started therapeutic infusions right away. She was very patient during our appointment and let us explain everything in detail without rushing or interrupting and was very attentive throughout our one-hour appointment. She has excellent bedside manners and made us feel very comfortable. At the end of our appointment she explained us nature of my wife's diagnosis and discussed plan of care in detail. Afterwards whenever we tried to contact her with any questions or concerns she was always very responsive and got back to us very promptly despite her busy schedule. Office staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Perumal is very caring, smart and responsible physician and we highly recommend her to anyone who has any condition like MS, NMO and alike.

My great good fortune was to be turned over to Dr. Perumal from a colleague of hers who suspected I had MS. I do. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, smart and collaborative. There is not enough praise I can think of for her.
