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.
Dr. Persich and his staff are excellent! So have been using him for years. I highly recommend.

Dr. Persich is in a class all on his own, and he’s helping save my life. His bedside manner is so relaxed yet informative so he can relate to every patient. From telemedicine to in clinic personal meetings he really makes you feel cared for and comfortable. He is kind, compassionate, and experienced! So, if you’re gut isn’t working right trust my gut instinct and go see him!!!

Dr. Persich has the perfect combination of expertise in his specialty and customer/patient service. He took time to address any concerns as well as thoroughly explain what procedures he recommended as well as the purpose for those procedures. I wish there were more doctors like him.

Dr. Persich is amazing! Saw him a few months back after a hospitalization as per recommendation from my mother (he’s been her doctor for many years.) Somehow, he managed to do what the hospital staff could not— he cured my pain! Would recommend 100 times over!
