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.

I love how Dr Perrin is a no beat around the bush type doctor. He is very thorough, straight to the point, never pushes surgery, and creates a plan with you not for you. Always considers conservative therapy first before surgery is even an option with his honest opinion. The staff is extremely helpful and a great environment to be in.

My brother was having neck pain and was diagnosed with having degenerative bone disease and was scheduled to have neck surgery on June 7th. He was just having neck pain could move his arms, swallow and walk just fine. He went in the hospital Alaska Regional for surgery and two days later his right arm wasn’t able to move, for nine days he didn’t eat because he couldn’t swallow also he wasn’t able to walk without assistance. My brother checked himself out of the hospital and a few days later went back and checked himself out again. On June 19th my brother PASSED AWAY. The doctor wouldn’t even sign the death certificate!!!! My brother deserved better than THIS!!!! No I would not recommend this doctor!!!!!! I say get a second or third opinion.

It was ok until after the surgery, it was a complete failure, he was cold and uncaring , I am in pain 24/7 . My life is ruined! I live on pain pills and they don’t work anymore, I am mostly home bound ! Thank you Dr. Perrin for ruining my life, you didn’t even use the right screws, now I saw on tv about the lawsuit about the counterfeit screws , I’m looking into this as he could have used these on me , mine broke within 3 months ! How can a screw break like that? I’m looking into this as I’m the one suffering here, he just told me Mary, there’s nothing more I can do for you, really Dr. Perrin? You should be living with my pain and then you would know what pain is! I cry every day, I can’t even get in and out of my car without help or clean my house thanks to your screwed up surgery! I wouldn’t recommend you to anyone!!!!!
