Dr. Zachary Perlman immediately diagnosed husband's fractured shoulder. He took rays, told my husband to wear a sling provided. He recommended a top orthopedist for him to see. Not only that he contacted the doctor directly. Making it easier for my husband to come in to see that doctor. He went over and above. I highly recommend Dr. Perlman. He made the long wait worthwhile.

I was the first appointment of the day for job drug testing. In and out in 10 minutes. Staff was cordial (not super peppy, but it was also morning). The bathroom needs an update. Everything considered, I am satisfied.
