About Cory Perugino, DO
After my clinical training in internal medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, it was through formative mentorship during my sub-specialty training in rheumatology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) that I understood the need for expanding our knowledge as it relates to immune-mediated diseases (i.e. autoimmune disease). In collaboration with Dr. Stone and Dr. Wallace in our Autoimmune Center of Excellence in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), while continuing to see patients with rheumatologic disease, I joined the laboratory of Dr. Shiv Pillai at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard. Since 2015, I have primarily been in the laboratory setting pursuing research studies using samples donated by patients that our group evaluates in the rheumatology unit at MGH. Over this time, I have developed interest in understanding and exploring the immune mechanisms and proteins being targeted by the immune response across a collection of diseases including IgG4-RD, systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma), sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). All of these conditions share the common denominators of inflammation and fibrosis and an aim of my current endeavors is to compare and contrast the immune response across these disease states. This research has been funded by the Rheumatology Research Foundation through their Scientist Development Award and the Scleroderma Foundation's New Investigator grant.

He was knowledgeable and professional and easy to talk to .He took his time and listened to me about my problems and gave me a diagnosis that I could understand and different treatment options that I could follow to help to relieve my symptoms.

Dr Perugino had treated me previously. The earlier appointments were just as productive as the more recent visit. He is knowledgeable and compassionate. I was afforded every opportunity to speak and offer my thoughts. I am very thankful for his expertise.

Dr Perugino seems to have a good grasp on the nature of the problems that I've had, and how to address them. I've gone from all manner of joint aches and pains to being essentially pain-free!
Dr. Perugino was thorough, clear and patient. I appreciate the time he spent with me to understand my concerns and address them.
I have been seeing Dr. Perugino for several years now and I couldn't be happier. He's a wonderful listener, a compassionate and intelligent doctor and in suggested treatments can think out of the box.
