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.

OMG the guy IS arrogant and not all that medically savvy. I have a mother who went to him in extreme knee pain and he defaults to cortisone--for everything! He is either practicing with a limited knowledge repertoire or is going through the motions. I have an MBA and recommend that NO ONE go to this guy. Don't trust this level of knowledge.

After having a meniscus tear, possibly two, I’ve never explained, I was diagnosed with a blood clot below my knee. I was told to call his office. The receptionist stated there was no nurse to speak to. I explained my diagnosis and she said, oh there is a nurse here. The nurse was rude. Told me he doesn’t follow up with complications. That guy could care less if I lived or died. Luckily, the ER in Princeton took care of me and then my family Dr. My knee is worse than before he touched it . I woul

Dr. Perona is EXTREMLY arrogant. His office has very bad communications with each other. 2 weeks after I had my surgery, I was called by his nurse about to schedual my surgery..she never knew I already had the surgery. Another nurse didn't even know how to open my MRI. Dr. Perona may be good @ hips and Knees, But stay far away from him if You have Shoulder issues. His office was ready to release me to Full Duty 2 weeks Post-surgery after a Complete bicep rupture and Rotator Cuff tear.
