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.

Disgusted with this physician
I have never had the need to post a bad review for a Medical Doctor before, but I am extremely upset at the arrogance Dr Pereles has shown towards my father’s visit.My father had a second visit with Dr Pereles on September, and I just happened to log into my Father’s portal and saw what Dr Pereles wrote in his visit note.What kind of physician puts “ He is interested in a magical cure that I have never heard of” and “ He is not interested in surgery” on the visit notes. I accompanied my father to that visit, and nothing was verbally told to the Dr to give him that impression. The Dr was very standoffish during the appointment and those notes proved the type of provider that he is.I will NEVER let my father go back to that practice. This should not be expected from someone who is supposed to be a professional.I am disgusted.

Achilles Tendon Blunders
I have seen Dr. Pereles for the past few years for sport- related injuries and knee osteoarthritis. I have been very satisfied with the results of his treatments. Unfortunately, my view of him has changed dramatically after a series of blunders for an Achilles tendon rupture I suffered few months ago. First, he was not able to properly diagnose/identify that I had a rupture Achilles tendon. Fortunately, this was notice by an attentive physical therapist working on my legs. I went back to Dr. Pereles who recommended a non-surgical treatment that included wearing a walking boot. I followed his advice and wear the boot for 5-weeks. Following this he performed a (final) physical evaluation of my Achilles tendon and indicated that I was 'ready to start physical therapy'. To my dismay the physical therapist indicated mentioned that my Achilles tendon did not heal (it was still rupture). I finally underwent surgery to repair my Achilles tendon by a competent surgeon few days ago.

Dr. Pereles is excellent. He took the time to talk to me, assess my shoulder and provide a treatment plan with alternatives. I found him to be caring, compassionate and an excellent communicator. Scheduling was easy and support staff are very professional.

Excellent care. I had surgery on Thursday for a torn meniscus and was walking without assistance the next day. He offered physical therapy Rx but he is such a fine surgeon that I don't feel I need it.

Dr. Pereles is kind and compassionate. I've been struggling with shoulder pain for months. He ordered physical therapy to help me regain my range of motion and avoid surgery. I am so thankful. As an avid runner, I have gone to him for other overuse injuries over the years and he is ALWAYS able to get me back to training & the starting line. His upbeat demeanor in the office is a plus.

I had arthroscopic knee surgery after which no physical therapy was ordered. This I have learned in the months since this was an error. Finally after months of pain and seeing another doctor who did order physical therapy my pain has been addressed. PHYSICAL THERAPY is vital and should be ordered ASAP.
