WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT RONALD S. PERLMAN, M.D.
“Doctor Perlman takes time to really consult with you prior to surgery to discuss your goals and expectations. I do not believe he does anything frivolous or recommends things that a patient doesn’t truly need. He was also easily reachable post-surgery and easy to communicate with. I have not had any problems getting post op visits and he is great at monitoring progress and results. I highly recommend this practice. Gayle and Carol in the office are wonderful as well!
“I am very impressed with the extra care and availability of Dr. Perlman. He saw me in his office on a day off. Who ever heard of that happening. I now have little to no scar under my eye. I went from a gaping hole to almost nothing at all. I am forever grateful to Dr. Perlman. I now wonder what he could do to the rest of me. Possibilities are endless. Thank you the bottom of my heart.”
looking for the best, look no further. From his kind friendly staff to Dr. Perlman himself, everything exceeded our expectations. They answered any questions and concerns upfront and Dr Perlman goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process and it’s obvious he takes pride in his work. A very professional atmosphere and staff. I couldn’t be happier with what I had done- to me it’s perfection. I would recommend him again and again and again!”
“Dr. Perlman is a skilled physician for cosmetic fillers. He knows what you need and how much to use. In 15 years of getting some type of filler or Botox I have bruised horribly ..I have no bruises from Dr. Perlman and that is remarkable. I had none from my first visit as well. I have very fair, thin skin. I have seen some of the best dermatologists in this area and have bruised to the point of almost giving up. I am so happy with my results. I was recommended to him by 2 friends that are current RN’s. As a former RN this means everything to me. He is wonderful. I would highly recommend him. His staff is also friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Dr. Perlman and his staff are the best I have ever encountered. They are truly patient focused from start to finish. They are kind and patient no matter what the ask is. I only wish there were more medical teams that operated as well as the team at Dr. Perlman’s office. Huge thanks to this incredibly talented team of professionals! ”
