Dr. Varisa Perlman, MD

Dr. Pearlman’s approach using natural remedies first is refreshing but her lack of bedside manner is frustrating. She does really address or get to know my daughter. She talks to me instead of letting my daughter know what she is going to do and talking directly to her. Doesn’t build rapport with her. We are looking for a new doctor because her staff is extremely rude. There always seems to be in fighting and stress in the office. The administrative part of this place is run so poorly.

Dr. Perlman is a great doctor but the staff in the office is always rude. You can never get an appointment. Wait time is almost 2 hours when you do finally get an appointment. I would suggest looking for another pediatrician as I am now.

I have all three of my kids with Perlman. She is amazing! I love that she doesn’t force you or pushes you to do anything that you are not comfortable with. I also love that she tries the natural remedies first before the antibiotics. I trust her expertise and judgement. I know that when she prescribes antibiotics, it’s because it it truly needed and will help. I love her ! Quick to email and answer concerns !

Called one day because we had an emergency at 1pm on a Tuesday. No one was available to come to the phone because the entire office was "on lunch". When we did finally get in touch with a doctor they advised us to go to the er (were already en route) What mostly troubled me was that after this no one ever followed up with me. The doctor didn't come to the hospital, let alone call us. And since then no one has contacted us. We switched doctors, but for all her office knows my child could've died.

I love Dr. Perlman and so does my daughter. She is a such a change from the old school way of thinking. She is not a vaccine pusher and understands that each child's situation is different. She explains the pro's and con's of everything. She takes the time to ask the right questions to know how to diagnose and treat. She talks about nutrition during our visits. I really am lucky to have found such an open minded but caring doctor.

great at responding via email if your child is sick and sending prescription via email. but that's about it. I don't trust her diagnosis much and I hate the waiting.
