I have seen Dr. Pereles during the past few years for sport- related injuries and knee osteoarthritis. Overall I have been very satisfied with the results of his treatments /health advise. I always ranked him at the top. Unfortunately my view of him has changed dramatically after a series of misdiagnosis/blunders for an Achilles tendon rupture I suffered during the past few months. 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 (conservative ) treatment that included wearing a walking boot for approximately 4-6 weeks. I followed his advice and wear the boot for 5-weeks. He performed a (final) physical evaluation of my Achilles tendon (after 5 weeks of wearing the walking boot) )and indicated that I was "ready to start physical therapy". I went to the see the same physical therapist that saw me before and to my great surprise and dismay he mentioned that my Achilles tendon did not heal (it was still rupture) !. I finally went to see a competent orthopedic specialist that performed surgery on my affected Achilles tendon five days ago.
I can not understand how an orthopedic specialist like Dr. Pereles made these two careless mistakes.
