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.

Very satisfied with Dr Perry!
I found Dr Perry very very easy to talk with. He had a very gentle demeanor and just enough of a sense of humor to keep things light. He is a very skilled surgeon. His nurse Victoria is very friendly and helpful, and even the receptionist Ann is respectful and very polite. I highly recommend Dr Perry if looking for a general surgeon in the Vero Beach area.

Dr. Perry was very arrogant and treated us like were stupid. We are from PA and needed to get surgery performed in Florida and he treated us like we were incompetent. My husband and me are very advocates of our health issues and do not appreciate the sarcasm that was excerted to the two of us. I would never recommend anyone to treat with this physician. He does not possess the compassion needed for his expertise or profession.

Satan with a scalpel!
As a person he is Satan! As a surgeon, he'll save your life in an emergency!!! He has saved my life. That being said...As a human being in general, I think he needs a hug! I suggest Dr Murphy. He's a legend WITH a good and caring attitude.

Went to see Dr. Perry because of a hernia in my abdomen. His staff was extremely professional and also very nice. Dr.Perry couldn’t of been nicer and more considerate with his time. He throughly explained the procedure to fix the problem after the exam and left me feeling confident in my choice of surgeons.

Excellent, good clean concise explanation, I healed well. A few years later he removed a cancerous tumor from my colon. My recovery since last November has been great to date. I strongly recommend him if you or a loved one needs their superior skills.Dr. Perry and Dr.Marchand are both excellent and brilliant.

Dr.Theodore Perry,MD General and Bariatric Surgeon-I was blessed to have the greatest surgeon in the Cleveland Clinic Hospital.My experience was a doctor who had professionalisms,knowledge,confidence,passion and was kind and nice to me.I will never forget some of his smiles and his warm hand shakes.I feel good,strong,possitive after my double mastectomy surgery after 21 weeks of chemo.I will be around my kids and family because of his "plan for the long haul,putting me in the best statistical survival outcome based on my biopsy results".Also a big thank-you to his nurse Patrice ,she was so great to see every visit to his office and a great way to start my day. Patient from May 2019 till Nov 2019, Muchas gracias DR. Perry Long health and Wellness to you and loved ones !

Besides being rude and arrogant doctor Perry misdiagnosed my nonworking gallbladder after having my test results from vero radiology. He insisted that I had other issues and referred me to another doctor. I was so sick I admitted myself to Indian river ER. I went to another doctor in Sebastian that read the same report as dr Perry that clearly read my gallbladder was not working and I had my gallbladder removed. Dr. Perry also changed all my notes when I saw him to coverup his incompetence.

In mid Sept. after arriving a very, very sick girl I suspect that in the hands of a lesser surgeon—if I'd survived the emergency operation at all—it would surely have been with a colostomy instead of the successful double re-sectioning I received under his fine, incomparable care. As far as I'm concerned he saved my life. I don't need my surgeon to be my friend or comic relief. Besides, he has two marvelous physicians' assistants to compensate for any charm he may lack.

I had para-thyroid surgery in October 2018. Dr. Perry was the surgeon. I could not have asked for a more professional doctor than Dr. Perry. He was very informative before and after the operation. His surgical skills rate a 10. His kindness and care was very refreshing to my wife and myself. It made us feel that he was not only a doctor but a person also. I would highly recommend Dr Perry. Thanks Dr. Perry for a job well done.

Seldom do I feel compelled to review a physician...but Dr. Perry and his staff truly are amazing. His skills as a surgeon are second to none and his staff is not only courteous and friendly, but top notch in their ability to work through the maze of insurance and scheduling of tests/procedures. I was in very bad shape medically speaking, and thanks to Dr. Perry I am well again. He is a perfectionist and will make sure that every step of the way, the patient receives the very best care.

Dr. Perry took the time with my grandmother and I to explain my Grandmother's type of breast cancer and the different treatment options we had. Dr. Perry has also removed my Grandmothers thyroid. He is a very skilled surgeon! After seeing him with my Grandmother I would trust him with my life under the knife.
