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.

Not a good listener. She is always "right" and isn't interested in hearing differing opinions.

Dr.. Pertunen stays current on medical research and employs evidence-based findings in her practice. She is very patient-centered and accessible. I have always known her to be knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful, thorough, and extremely competent in addition to being very personable.

Told me that there was no chance that I had the chronic illness that a geneticist diagnosed me with. Not a good way to begin, truly. Then proceeded to lecture me on how she would take me off all meds, even my heart rate control meds, and how since she has fibromyalgia, I definitely had it as well. Very shocking first appt and never went back. Frankly, I don't need judgement from a person, let alone my doctor. Do no harm to your patient...she harmed me mentally.

Her office is prompt with appointment times! Dr. Pertunen services and follow-up care is comprehensive. She caught things that my specialists did not. It gives me great peace of mind and confidence to know she is the hub of my team of doctors!
