Does not listen to patient. I experienced bias and prejudice. Saw the "Dr" 1 time last year and have only seen his PA's. They never even evaluate if the medicine is effective. And apparently the PA's and the "Dr." dont communicate about the patient with each other before coming in to see the patient for their appointment. I could never even entertain the idea of physical Therapy bc my pain was never managed enough. just riding in a car to get to the appt caused severe inflammation, and increased the severity of the constant sciatic nerve pain I tried to communicate this to them but that along with 90% of everything I said fell on deaf ears. I'm 36 yrs old and I can't walk more than 1 city block w/o doubling over in pain, and thats with their "treatment"

When you arrive there is a sign that says you will have about an hour and a half wait so please don't bother the receptionist. Be prepared to be there close to 3 hours even if you have a 9am appt. There is no respect for patients time and that fact that they are in pain and have to sit for close to 2 hours. It's like that every time you go. They overbook. The Dr. is good but needs to be better organized and not book surgeries with a quick prescription or injection.

Biography

Dr. Perper is Board Certified Anesthesiologist and Fellowship Trained Pain Management Physician. He earned his Medical Degree with a specialization in Anesthesia at Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn. Since graduation from the Pain Management Fellowship at Saint Vincent’s Medical Center, NY, Dr. Perper had a successful record of accomplishments in the medical field. He started his career in Crozer-Chester Medical Center, PA in 2003. Then moved to New York with the appointment of Attending Anesthesiologist/Pain Management Doctor in Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens. He was promoted in 2004 and served as a Director of Pain Management in 2004-2005. Then he moved into Private Practice. Dr.Perper is an active member of AMA and ISIS, who was awarded by the American Consumer Research Association with the “American Top Anesthesiologists with specialization in Pain Management” Award in 2009 and 2011. His achievements in the Medical field are recognized by the American Anesthesiological Society, as well as his two patented inventions “Device for repairing a Dural Puncture” and “Seated Fluoroscopy Application Device”. Dr. Perper attended numerous Pain Management Conferences to continue his medical education. While on the World Pain Management Congress in Germany, in September 2011, he presented his new, innovative approach for the retrograde Spinal Cord Stimulator insertion which revealed a new technique of Spinal Cord Stimulator placement. " I have invented a special chair for doing injections into the neck, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine in the sitting position. This has an advantage of doing procedures safer and more convenient for the patients. I am also able to perform joint injections, shoulder joint, and knee joint injections using my approach, which is relatively painless and very simple. You would not find such an approach from any other pain management provider and you would not learn it from the textbook."
