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.

Test results
I waited over two weeks about the results of my test results. I finally had to call to find out if there was cancer. I would not recommend this doctor or their practice.

FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR! Dr Perrino would have let me die because he wasn't willing to listen! He ordered a CT scan and I was told that he saw nothing on it. I was having extreme abdominal pain every time I tried to eat, and hadn't actuality eaten solid food in over 3 weeks at this point! After the CT scan where he found nothing, he wanted to schedule some other test in 3 more weeks! At my wits end, a friend recommended another dr in Atlanta. I called her office, and she said bring the ct scan results and come immediately! Upon looking at the results, she instantly saw a problem and said that I could not try to eat again until I had an ERCP; a procedure to go into bile ducts and pancreas. My common bile duct was 3 TIMES TOO LARGE AND HE DIDN'T SEE IT!! My duct was completely blocked and every time I tried to eat my PANCREAS WAS DIGESTING ITSELF! I asked her how another doctor could have missed this, and she had no good answer! He refused to listen when I had suggested that I f

My experience with Dr. Perrino was very pleasant. He is knowledgeable, kind and put me at ease immediately. The staff was welcoming, very friendly and offered explanations as to what would happen during my procedure and everything went exactly as it should have. I would recommend him for all your digestive questions and procedures.

Would not recommend this doctor or this practice. Got major run around, office staff rude and basically took the "not my department" attitude.

Dr. Perrino is a good doctor. I was pleased with him and his care. For the most part his staff was great. The front desk was more than helpful and friendly. His nurse or medical tech was not. Maybe she’s not a people person, but she didn’t introduce herself or smile once. I was relieved when the doctor had a personality to accompany his knowledge.

We retired in Blue Ridge. I had gastro problems before that. Was nervous. God blessed me with a good find in a doctor. Very thorough. On top of his patients!

Every time you go to the office there is a 45 minute wait. The last time I saw him after having to wait 45 minutes, all he did was stick his head in the door ask how I was doing. I thought he was coming back but he did not and charged me for doing nothing. Most of his staff is rude and ignore you. Needless to say I will not be back to see him.

The receptionist that we encountered is very rude. I would think that she does not enjoy her job and is tired of working with people. I made a simple request to get a work excuse for my son for the day prior to the procedure (because of the GI motility fluid he needed to start at 2pm) and for the day the procedure was performed. She was VERY rude and told me she can only authorize for the procedure day. I asked her to get someone who can authorize it. She was angry I even asked.
