Dr. Leigh Perreault, MD

I re-read today, a report from Dr. Leigh Perrault dated 5-16-2002; I was in her care for minor hypothyroidism: 1) She defines me as "Italian" while I had been a US citizen for a long time. 2) I was starting menopause but she wrote that I had entered menopause 5 years earlier. 2) The neurological assessement turned psychiatric: "notable for pressured speech and hypomania". I have a baccalaureate in nursing and I had worked as a psychiatric head nurse for several years; I presented myself elegantly in attire and conduct during my 2 visits with Dr. Perault; I felt comfortable and we were cordial to one another: I was not hypomanic. I refused to seek further care after reading the above, because it caused me humiliation. I never needed psychiatric care nor I took medication after the encounter with Dr. Perrault. Angela R.

Our experience with Dr. Perrault was very positive. She listened attentively, was compassionate and explained options and her suggestions clearly. She took all the time needed to be with us.

My PCP referred me to Dr. Perreault to address my thyroid condition. She was attentive, patient, and personable. She reviewed my test results, explained my situation and options clearly, and answered all the questions I had. Her support staff was helpful and professional, too.

Negative stars. Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. She got defensive when I asked about other options beyond medication, as if offended that I did not trust her recommendations. She started listing her experience and successes of other patients...it was all about her ego and not at all about the patient in front of her. When I cut her off to ask questions, she shut down and said I was welcome to find another provider and abruptly left the room b/c she was uncomfortable!

Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a Doctor. Would NOT recommend her to anyone. Does not know her patients nor does she take the time to study their records. Treats you as if it is you are a cookie cutter case. Answer with a “yep” response very unprofessional.

Simply Amazing!

Saw Dr. Perreault today and very dissatisfied with the care she gave me. No more than 5 minutes in her office and I had enough and got up and left. She needs great improvement on her bedside manners and listen to what people are telling her instead of jump to her 30 second conclusion and think she knows your life. Very unprofessional and opinionated without any facts.
