Energetic and went right to the point
Made an assessment without asking me any questions. He did have some solutions though so I appreciate that.
Thank you! Fantastic doctor!
Saw Dr. Perry for an initial consult for chronic low back pain - he was very personable and knowledgeable, made some expected recommendations as well as more thorough diagnostics, which I appreciate. The only reason I did not give him 5 stars was that I felt a bit rushed, and he did not allow me to speak without interruptions. Overall, I believe that I am in good hands.
Dr Perry is great. He is forthcoming in his discussion of the issues and does not dance around the answer you may not want to hear. He is definitely professional in his bedside manner.
Dr Perry is personable, attentive and very capable. I am quite thankful that he is my neurosurgeon.
Always pleasant
Dr. Perry is the absolute best. His Professional credentials and abilities could not be higher and his personality makes every appointment pure joy.
Explained everything to me. Answered all my queations. Friendly, and professional. His trainee was very good also.
Very good in explaining what will be involved pertaining to surgery. Answered all of my questions. Knocked off 1 star only because I waited nearly 40 minutes *after* scheduled appt with check-in time 30 minutes before. So essentially waited over an hr.
