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.

Visits with Dr. Pearlstein are thorough, yet relaxed and comfortable. She takes the time to talk with you, ask you about non-medical things happening in your life that could have an impact on your health, and is straightforward and helpful. I highly recommend her.

A good old fashioned doctor that is a rarity in the modern day factory of assembly line health care. She takes her time, listens to your concerns and has a really great office staff. She is no nonsense and not a hand holder. If you're looking for this go elsewhere. She is direct, comprehensive, and will work with you in your health plan.

I would never recommend her to anyone I know. She may be the rudest doctor I have ever encountered. It was clear she couldn’t care less about helping me and that I was a burden to her day.

I have been going to Dr. Pearlstein for about 10 years now. She is a rarity in our now assembly-line system of medical care. I have never ever felt rushed during my appointments with her. In fact, the opposite generally occurs, whereby I feel as if she is spending 'too much' time with me. ;-) I'll take than any day, over the other doctors who don't seem to have any time for me, or any of their patients for that matter. Her long-standing Assistant, Pat, is clearly loyal and capable.

I've been a patient of Dr Pearlstein's for 10 years and she has always provided excellent care. She is very personable, listens closely to all of my concerns at every visit, always clearly remembers me even when it has been years since I've seen her last, and never rushes through our visit. She is honestly my favorite doctor and, as a person with chronic health problems, I see a lot of doctors.

Dr. Pearlstein is fine. I would be keeping her as my primary care doctor if her office assistant was not so difficult. It took me 4 calls to schedule my first visit, because the assistant kept hanging up on me. After I finally did see the doctor, the assistant failed to call in my medication and had lost all of my pharmacy/medication information three months later when I needed a refill. She is abrasive over the phone and simply causes more stress than necessary in getting primary care.

I've been going to Dr. Pearlstein for over 10 years. I find her knowledgeable, engaged and a good diagnostician. The one time I had an emergency and called her off hours, she was prompt in her response and followed up appropriately. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait in the office, but that's because she doesn't rush her patients out the door but rather takes the time to answer all their questions.
