This is one of the best offices I've ever been to. The staff is very attentive and extremely friendly. Very professional. Very clean and pleasant environment. Dr. Yakov Perper took time to listen to my situation and was able to generate a plan for my treatment. I will definitely be coming back for my treatment and any other related issues.

I came in excruciating pain in my back radiating into my right leg and thigh. I could not sit, could not lay down, could not walk, felt helpless and miserable. Doctor thoroughly evaluated me and offered Transforaminal Back injection into my Lumbar Spine. He administered it very professionally and painlessly. Pain subsided right away and I was able to walk home on my own and take care of my newborn baby, when home. I am so grateful to Dr Perper, do not know what I would of done without treatment. Strongly recommend!

Do not go to this place. They make you feel worthless and don't care about their patients being in chronic pain. How does a Dr say that injections are dangerous on your back but then asks you if you want one. This is the worst doctor Ive been to in my life. Save yourself the time and stress

The Physician is amazing, but his staff is horrible!! They're disrespectful and do not know how to address a patient without having an attitude or mock you. Their phone etiquette has to be the worst I have come across in 27 years of living. I'm sure I can't list names on ZocDoc, but I wish I could!!! They shout at you and make you not ever want to visit this Physician' office again!!! He can definitely lose patients because of his staff and word of mouth is the best advertisement! They need to hire professionals as the Physicians are extremely professional!

After seeing 5 different neurologists/psysiatrists, and getting no relief, Dr. Perper took a thorough history of my pain problem, gave me injections to lessen the pain, and they worked extremely quickly and effectively. I did NOT need opiate pain medications, and will be treated by Dr. Perper exclusively from now on. He is the best!

I was in excruciating pain and the Dr. agreed to see me on SATURDAY, with an office full of patients. He and his colleague took more than ample time to take a history, discuss my case together, and decided I should receive an injection in my spinal area that did not hurt and helped relieve my pain IMMENSELY! I felt remarkably better in just a few short hours. I cannot thank him enough, and the staff were courteous, and very patient. Thank you again!

The wait time was beyond ridiculous. I waited 2.5 hours to be seen, only to be interrupted by nurses at least a handful of times. Perper then excused himself to go do injections, which pushed us back an additional twenty minutes. Needless to say, it was a very unpleasant, tiring experience.

The healthcare industry is so disappointing, BUT.... when you get a good doctor, stick by them! Dr Perper is one of a kind! Literally the best Doctor I have ever had the chance to visit. Courteous, listened to me, answered all of my concerns, didn't overbook by 50 people. 5 STARS AMAZING! Most of all he fixed me! I literally feel like a new person. This was the 3rd doctor I visited for my issue, guess third is time is the charm!

He is very sweet but the wait/appt setup situation is out of control I has a 10am appt got there at 945 am and by 12:30 pm I still had not been seen, I was about to walk out when a staff got him and he finally saw me. It's a shame the wait is 3 hours which is unacceptable because he is sweet with good bedside manner and is totally knowledgable

This Guy is Great! Just his smooth calming personality help you to relax immediately. He is also innovative in his professional ideas regarding my "Pain Path" so to speak, I am a broken neck survivor who is constantly dealing with issue concerning all the mettle in my body; as well as, nerve damage! Doctor Perper's approach has really by far the best to having a better quality of life!

He is famous for sticking needles in your back, and head. If you complain of back pain he wants to inject. If you complain of headaches he wants toinject botox. He does not want to try anything else just injection. The young girls at the desk is extremely, rude, bad atttudes and I tried to overlook them because they are young and will learn as they get older they will learn empathy will take them a long way in healthcare,
