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.

Excellent physician

Best in the Business
I began seeing Dr Michelle last year. Her attention to detail. Her caring demeanor and her concern about my health is evident in every visit. I am pleased with my results with Prime Institute and will continue both use and recommend the office.

Excellent Physician! Highly Recommended
Michelle and Amy Pearlman run a medical practice customized to you! They are high touch and easily accessible for questions by email, and phone anytime. I have checked in to their office for visits where they take the time to get to know my full details. My treatment plan spans both professionals is perfect and showing amazing results. I am still working with them both to optimize my health! Wish I found Drs Pearlman sooner!

Weight Loss Success
Dr Pearlman is very thorough in explaining the weight loss program with details to medication, nutrition and exercise. She is personable and you feel like she's talking to you as a friend and dr. I feel comfortable in asking questions and she takes time to be sure I understand the answer. I am very happy with the treatment I am getting from Dr. Pearlman and I attribute my success to her.

Amazing doctor
During my first visit, the doctor was on time, professional and understanding. I was at a low point and truly tired of being overweight. I exercised but it didn't seem like enough. The weight was not budging. She explained that our bodies start to fight against us as we age. She explained all aspects of the program and we got started. Two months later, I'm down almost 25 pounds but my confidence is way up. I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in years. Dr. Pearlman is very supportive and encouraging. The program is no joke. You will eat less and you will exercise more. As a result, I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm in my 60's and repping 70 lbs. dumbbells. I'm about to order 80's. This is a life changing process. She will tell you what you need to do to keep the weight off. Follow her instructions and your life will change. You will feel like the clock has been turned back.

Definitely an expert in weight management
I met with Dr Pearlman to discuss my need to reduce the volume of visceral fat in my body. She was excellent - explaining what steps need to be taken to achieve my goals. She did not take insurance, and her services were not inexpensive - but I found her help to be well worth the cost. TIP: Only people who are serious about committing to a restrictive diet and exercise should invest in her program.

Most Caring Doctor
Dr Michelle Pearlman is the best doctor I have ever come across. Not only did she teach me how to eat right and loose 25 lbs, but she also helped me to get my A1C down to the lowest level I’ve seen in a while at 5.7. I have never seen my A1C level so low in 30 years of being diabetic. Dr Pearlman is a very rare and caring doctor who not only cares about weight loss, but also helps you get off or reduce medication. I feel like a new person full of energy. I’m very blessed to have come across Dr Pearlman.

Lifechanging help from a great doctor
Dr. Pearlman has been one of the only doctors who has attended me that actually cared for my overall wellness. She took her time to ask questions and get detailed information about my case. She placed me on a nutritional plan and exercise regiment which I followed diligently with her help. After 1 year I dropped over 66 pounds. It has changed my life completely and it's a journey I am still continuing.

New venture,
I can not discuss my visit, because it hasn't happened yet. I hope that one day it will. What I can discuss is how easy she made me feel once I was over the initial surprise when I saw her for the first time. It's human nature to wonder what's to be expected when you haven't seen the person yet. One tries to put a face with a name. I had thought of scenarios in my head, just in passing. Didn't put too much weight on it. However, an image of Dr. Pearlman was not even close to what I had even thought. Anyway, she cured me. And that made everything come together. Brains and beauty... what a combination.

Terrific Doctor, Healthy Results
Dr. Pearlman is all the things a doctor should be. She is knowledgeable, professional, competent and compassionate. In her, I feel I have a real partner in my wellness journey. As someone who has struggled gaining and losing the same 20 pounds for years, I am especially grateful for Dr. Pearlman. She takes my concerns seriously, listens intentionally to my struggles and has helped me to take control of my health in a positive way. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Pearlman!

A Physician Who Practices What She Preaches
I've been working on weight loss with Dr. Pearlman for several months....we have been making progress. She is a true inspiration. She promotes a healthy lifestyle. She understands that weight loss is a journey and during the journey, we will stray off the road.....and guides you to return to the road without judgement. She is more about healthy eating and exercise rather than take this pill, lose weight and call me next week. She educates, encourages and coaches......

The gold standard of doctors!
Dr Michelle pearlman is one of the most incredible doctors and individuals that I've had the pleasure and privilege to work with to remedy some of my health issues. For me it has been weight loss and nutrition. She has been my doctor, teammate, and cheering section in my journey through weight loss and nutrition. I can't think of a better person to have in your corner while working through these issues, and I know she has the same passion for her other two board certified medical specialties. She is the gold standard in what a doctor should be.

Fantastic Doctor
I went to see Dr.Pearlman to speak about my health and wellness journey, and I am so glad I did. She is not only extremely knowledge in her profession, but so kind and really took her time to explain to me the steps I needed to take to be successful on my wellness journey. She answered all my questions and even when I messaged her on Uchart, she got back to me in a timely manner. Dr.Pearlman is a life saver and has truly changed my life for the better. If you’re looking for a doctor who cares & practices what she preaches, go see Dr.Pearlman!

Wonderful Doctor! Great bedside manner!
I’ve been struggling with my weight for several years and spoke with a few doctors to help me loose weight. Dr. Pearlman took the time to get to know my habits, come up with a realistic plan, and helped me reach my goals. When the plan needed tweaking she was there for me and extremely supportive. You can sense her passion for fitness and health and she wants to see you succeed in your weight loss journey. I’m down 13 lbs and I could not have done it without her. I feel healthier, happier, and most of all I feel like I have achieved it in a healthy way. No crash diets or fads, just science and encouragement. I couldn’t recommend her more!
