Dr. Perkari ruined my health and my life. I had a terrible case of mononucelosis many years ago when I was in my early 20s. When I went over my symptoms with Dr. Perkari and told her that I thought I had mono, she laughed and said I was “exaggerating” about how sick I was, and she said (without having tested me) that I did not have mono. I had been going to her since I was a kid and had never lied or exaggerated to her about anything, so there was no reason for her to accuse me of doing so that day. I begged her to test me for mono, and the test came back positive. Dr. Perkari was surprised. She noted that my active antibody levels showed that it was a severe case. She prescribed ampicillin and told me to take it to stave off a strep throat. After two doses, I broke out in a horrendous raised, red, itchy rash from head to toe, and the skin underneath the rash and the whites of my eyes turned yellow because my liver had started to shut down. My family called Dr. Perkari to describe what was going on, and she told them that I might have encephalitis. They rushed me to the hospital, where I was put in an isolated room for people with infectious diseases (the ER staff saw my rash and thought I might have something contagious). Within seconds of looking at me, a specialist figured out that I was having an allergic reaction to ampicillin that was causing my organs to shut down. He said that I would have died if I had taken even one more dose. He told me that every doctor should know not to prescribe ampicillin to anyone with an active case of mono because there is a high likelihood of an allergic reaction, even if the person isn’t normally allergic to ampicillin. He said it was common knowledge, and that any doctor who didn’t know that shouldn’t be practicing. I was in the hospital on an IV for three days, and spent another month in bed recovering. I was never the same again. My immune system went haywire, and my life was ruined. I cannot properly express here all the trouble and pain Dr. Perkari’s carelessness has caused me - I would have to write an entire book in order to do so. My biggest regret is that I trusted her, and there is nothing I can do now to change that. My immune system will not tolerate any of the Covid vaccines, but contracting Covid would almost certainly kill me, so my already difficult life has become a lot more frightening since the start of 2020. While everyone is at great risk because of this new virus, my personal chance at protection via a vaccine has been eliminated because of a mistake Dr. Perkari made years ago. Please, do not place your life in her hands.

Unfortunately this is the 3rd time I've been told by office staff my rx referral is not a priority and have been waiting since June 28th for it to be done. Was told yesterday it may be a few more weeks before they can get to it :( I usually see NP Katherine in the office and she is great, dr Perkari is great too! The lack of care from MA who does referrals is bringing the practice down

Stay away. Incompetent, unethical, uncaring. My family has dealt with her for years, ultimately to everyone's great sorrow and regret.

I have been loyal to Dr. Perkari, having moved out of the state and not having a car, I STILL get come at least once a year. She is simply that good. Respectful, caring, positive, PROFESSIONAL. I simply don't want to look for a new doctor after many years of her wonderful insight and encouragement. When seeing her assistants, over the years, I have found them to be quite satisfactory. But Perkari is the BEST!

WATCH OUT!! Dr. Perkari doesn't think HIPPA rules apply to her. She gossips about her own patients protected medical information. She is EXTREMELY unprofessional

I have been a patient of Dr Perkari's for more than 10 years. She has a caring bedside manner, is knowledgeable and treats you with respect. I have to admit, there is usually a wait to see her but she never rushes me out of the office. She goes that extra step to listen and understand my concern or problem. I find her staff to be very helpful. She recently hired a Nurse Practioner in the office who I find extremely knowledgeable. I have seen her a few times for sick visits. Overall, over the past 10 years there have been many changes in the office but Dr Perkari and most of her staff have been the constants in the office. I will never change doctors!

I am a patient of Dr. Perkari and she is the most comforting doctor I have ever been to. She has amazing bedside manner. Her staff is always helpful and always get the job done. Her assistant, Katherine, is a delight and very sweet. It is a pleasure to have Dr. Perkari as my primary care doctor.

Dr Perkari is an excellent physician. Telephone service needs improvement. Its hard to convey the message. Refill requests messages are getting dropped.

The secondary doctors are scary, they are clueless to the point you wonder if your on some candid camera or something. They come from very poor country's like Nigeria, and haven't a clue how to treat the western way. Their diagnosis has been wrong with me every time. You must see dr. Perkari.
