He's the Best!
Dr. Perez took the time to hear my entire medical history and also took my questions as well as the questions of my mom who joined me for the visit. He was thorough in his answers and in his assessment, and he made me feel like my symptoms were real and assured me that he would do everything he could to help me get better.
He is the best Doctor I have....the combination of knowledge and solutions make you feel he understands you.
Dr. David Perez is the most caring, compassionate, supportive and personal physician-expert we have ever had in my many decades of experience and certainly since the time crunch of corporate managed care. (I'm the family Medical Proxy accompanying and managing Alzheimer's patient [redacted] care at all times) He is truly remarkable.
Dr. Perez is an extremely knowledgeable and caring doctor. We always leave his visits feeling like we know a little bit more and comfortable with the doctor's diagnosis. He takes great care of his patients. [redacted] we've really cherished him as our mother's doctor.
Dr. Perez is very supportive and caring.
I am so grateful to Dr. Perez and his team for an incredibly thorough visit, capturing all relevant information with such sensitivity and respect, and employing an attentive and empathic listening that established immediate trust. Truly a model of genuine care. Thank you!
Dr. Perez is outstanding. He listens very carefully. He is very supportive. And I was thrilled to be working with him.
Dr Perez was extremely thorough. Really listened to my concerns. Seemed genuinely interested in my condition and finding a solution.
I was extremely disappointed concerning what the Specialist did. I thought he would be more concerned with my emotional wellbeing than he was. I need help for brain injury. [redacted]
