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.
I had been to several pain specialist doctors with no results before seeing Dr.Perper. He correctly diagnosed cervical spine stenosis and immediately provided a relatively painless cervical epidoral which immediately eliminated my pain and leg weakness. He gave me back my life. A thousand thanks, Dr. Perper, for your brilliant analysis and supreme surgical skills.

Listens and councils with care and I believe he treats me with respect even when he may not agree with all my decisions. I have been seeing him for corticosteroids injections and advice. Some staff are really great, none are bad.

Doctor Perper and his staff are purely amazing! They are kind and listen to their parients. Dr. Perper is very knowledgable and trily wants to help! Unlike many doctors before him- he actually listens to me and doesnt only stare at the computer. I trust him. I am so gratefully that he gave me some quality of life back (and I thought that was impossible).

Dr. Perper is a rare gem! He is so caring and kind and actually listens to his patients. He has such a light hand when it comes to giving injections. I love that theres am option to get anesthesia as well. The staff as well as all other doctors are also amazing - always willing to help and get out of their way to actually find a solution for whatever may arise. I will forever be grateful for them for helping me get quality of life back. Definitely a rare find. 1000% recommended
