Dr. Perri has been a huge source of relief for me in diagnosing and treating my herniated disc. His genuine concern for how well I was healing and follow up is amazing. Dr. Perri understood the incredible pain I was in and took steps to explain the causes and treatment options for me. He made the process much less scary and I had complete confidence in him going into surgery. When I had difficulty with the insurance company getting approvals, Dr. Perri helped tremendously navigating the insurance nightmare. I highly recommend. read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my family, especially my mother who had spinal surgery performed by Dr. Perri. For those looking for the short version, let me summarize by saying Dr. Perri is an excellent surgeon, his staff is professional and the facility is top notch. After surveying several good options in the Greater Los Angeles area we decided on Dr. Perri and my family is convinced that we made the right choice. My mother had consultations with several surgeons in our area before she decided on where to have her procedure done. Of the doctors she saw, Dr. Perri immediately stuck out to us. He was confident and reassuring, without being dismissive or understating the magnitude of her condition. He was very patient in answering all of her questions, and saw her multiple times as she approached her decision. The surgery itself went very well, and afterwards Dr. Perri was attentive to my mother's condition and realistic about her recovery process. Though the first few days were very rough, she always felt very well supervised. Even in the last few months that my mom has been home recovering, we always receive a prompt response whenever we have questions, even though many of them are probably repetitive. Overall I have no doubt that Dr. Perri is a top professional in his field, and we are very glad we decided to have him perform the procedure. My mother's recovery is ahead of the projected schedule, a fact which I feel is owed to the excellent care she received from Dr. Perri. One instance really stood out to us, and reflects the level of personal care Dr. Perri shows his patients. During her inpatient stay, my mother had to practice walking via the use of a walker. She was having difficulty with this task. Though normally a task for the physical therapist, Dr. Perri personally helped my mother walk on two occasions. Despite his full schedule and many patients, he took the care to observe first hand her progress. This assured my mother greatly that she was well taken care of, and I feel contributed mentally to her recovery. As for Dr. Perri's staff, they deserve the same level of praise. Everyone we encountered during the process, from his assistant Nalynn to the nurses and facility at the hospital, were professional, friendly, and showed genuine care for their patients. Early on we emailed Dr. Perri very often, as we had a lot of questions about her condition. The nature of my mother's recovery is one of constantly fluctuating symptoms, some weeks she feels better and others she feels worse. Despite this, any time we email Dr. Perri's office with a question, we always receive a prompt and thorough answer. Our interaction with Dr. Perri's office after the surgery is mostly through his staff, and they are truly some of the most professional that I have encountered. read more

Dr. Perri was the only doctor I saw who not only correctly diagnosed my neck problem but also knew how to fix it. He took into consideration my medical history to correct it in the least invasive manner, leaving me with an invisible scar and no pain. I strongly recommend him and his staff for their competency, professionalism, and personal attention to the needs of patients. read more

I wish it was possible to give more stars. Dr. Perri and his staff are incredible. Not only are they all extremely good at what they do, I feel like they sincerely care about doing the very best they can to take care of you. They have gone way above and beyond in every step of my process from diagnosis to pre-op to surgery to post-op. Thank you very much to Dr. Perri, Nalynn at the office and Mia and Ren (sp?) at the surgical center. I am so glad I was referred to the practice. read more

i had 2 severely collapsed discs in my spine that caused me tremendous pain for 20+ years. in an effort to avoid surgery i tried just about everything. i was also filled with several testimonials about back surgery going wrong. i finally submitted to surgery. After consulting several orthopedic surgeons, I met Dr. Perri. ive had surgeries on other parts of my body & ive never met a surgeon at the level of Dr. Perri that wasnt arrogant or off putting. Dr. Perri was super patient & wanted to hear my entire history & story for the 20+ year period ive been suffering. I felt such a sense of satisfaction in his advice. i waited 2 years while seeing Dr. Perri a few times. i finally decided to have an ADR & Hybrid/Fusion in December 20. After 60 days i am working out 3/4 times a week & physically functioning at the high level i was pre surgery. i speak to Dr. Perri every 2 weeks to update him on my progression and what more i can start to do. He is always patient, calm and knowledgeable beyond belief. I can say without question & with much gratitude that i chose to have this surgery with Dr. Perri. i am looking forward to a new quality of life thanks to him. read more

My sons back problem was a year and counting with another well known Orthopedist. As soon a Dr Perri examined my son he said " this should have been taken care of with surgery within the first two weeks of the injury". As it turned out he was right and the surgery was scheduled and completed within 2 weeks. Dr Perri's recommendation came to me through my sons workmans comp specialist that wanted to see my son get the help he needed with the best Orthopedist she knew of. The only draw back was, he was not authorized to do the the final workmans comp report. If we knew of Dr Perri from the beginning my son would have been spared all the pain and suffering for an entire year. Dr perri spent more time examining and talking to my son and i, then all the apppointments put together at the other place. All the issues were discussed from surgery to pain management. I have met alot physicians as a veteran fire captain/paramedic 27 yrs, and Dr perri treats you like part of his family and truly cares about you. His staff he is extremely professional and responsive, I would recommend Dr Perri from my family to yours read more

I am just over two months post-op from an artificial disc replacement C5/6 from Dr. Perri. My overall experience is a 10/10 with Dr. Perri and everyone at his office and at the surgery center. He has been thorough with explanations during consultations, provides quick responses to questions or concerns, and has lived up to his reputation I heard of for being a top surgeon in the operating room. My recovery is right on track. Also, his assistant Nalynn is one of the nicest and most responsive people you can ever ask for to help with needs when Dr. Perri is unavailable. Upon my first visit I had symptoms of pain and weakness in my right arm and a MRI that showed disc problems and bone spurs C5/6. I was hesitant to visit a surgeon at all as I had a previous fusion surgery at C6/7 ten years ago from a different surgeon and didn't want to experience the long painful recovery again. However, during my first visit with Dr. Perri I knew from the start I was at the right place and would be well taken care of moving forward regardless of the treatment path he suggested. He didn't rush to discussing surgery after the first visit and suggested to first try a more conservative path. I tried physical therapy and a home traction unit but both did not relieve my symptoms. After doing a CT scan, in addition to my MRI, to finalize his evaluation for the next steps it was decided that the disc replacement surgery was the best option. Dr. Perri did a great job explaining the surgery, risks involved, and advantages of a disc replacement vs. a fusion. With my arm weakness getting worse, I chose to move forward with surgery to avert any potential irreversible damage and start the healing process. When I woke from surgery I had immediate relief of arm pain and weakness and my neurological tests showed improved results. It was a great relief to know the cause of the problem had been fixed and positive results were so immediate. I highly recommend Dr. Perri and best of luck to anyone out there who may be experiencing similar spine issues. read more

The medical care world can be a difficult place for a great many of us. We have a problem and need someone with the expertise to help us understand what is needed. Dr. Brian Perri is that person. He is a wonderful individual and a fabulous surgeon. I had been to see three other orthopedic doctors prior to Dr. Perri. I left those offices confused and with no plan to fix my lower back problem. Dr. Perri took a great deal of time in the review of my MRI, the x-rays that were taken and a full scale model of the spine. I understood completely the problem I had and the process necessary to fix that problem. The surgery was a tremendous success and throughout the process Doc, as I call him, was the best. His friendly attention to you as a person as well as a patient is unmatched in my medical care life. Your sense of trust cannot be better because his approach is so thorough and so understandable and his skills as a surgeon are simply as good as it gets. If you are in need of spine treatment schedule time with Doc. He will give you back the life you want. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dr. Perri has operated on my neck twice with great results and I trust him 100%. His bedside manner is gentle and caring which is not common in my experience with surgeons. Not only is he the utmost professional, his assistant, Nalynn is the best too! She is right on it as soon as you email or call with a request. I wouldn't go anywhere else for spine surgery. read more

Dr. Brian Perri is so expert in his approach to your body, your surgery, your recovery, and your follow up that you will not be able to find a better surgeon anywhere. His knowledge of his surgical field is totally up to date and he avails himself of the latest medical technologies and breakthroughs for the benefit of the patient. Just superb. His doctor/patient relationship is exceptional due to his ability to explain in common terms what exactly is going on with your body. His staff is excellent and professional. read more

I have only great things to say about Dr. Perri and his staff. For every visit I have been seen in a reasonable amount of time (usually right away) and have always had my questions answered without feeling like I was being rushed out the door. The entire staff has been helpful and enjoyable to work with and is always on top of things. Nalynn is great about getting everything done quickly and keeping things in order and Dr. Perri has incredible focus on patient interaction. He's the first doctor I have seen for my issue that I feel like really takes the extra minute or two to ease my mind and make sure I understand the treatment process and how it will affect me in the future. The way he explains things in relative detail gives me confidence that his treatment is the best course of action. I always appreciate his specificity. I'm glad I did diligent research prior to settling on a treating physician. Dr. Perri and his staff are amazing. read more

Simply put, Dr. Perri gave me back my life. I had suffered for well over a year with horrible sciatica pain down my leg as a result of severe stenosis in my lower back. For all that time, I tried all the normal pursuits to ease the problem. I had many epidurals, months and months of physical therapy, traction and pain management. I even had a double laminectomy surgery with one of the more well-known surgeons in Los Angeles, which was a dismal failure and gave me no relief at all. Finally, at the urging of my internist I saw Dr. Perri, liked him very much immediately, and what he had to say, and felt certain that I could trust his solution for surgery to ease my problem. Dr. Perri did fusion surgery on me and used spacers between the lower disks to allow the nerve to be free. I am totally out of pain and joyous at having my life back. I couldn't walk from room to room without enormous pain before - I now walk miles every day... with a smile. Dr. Perri is not only the most wonderful surgeon, he is a genuinely warm, caring and considerate person. His personal assistant, Nalynn, and his whole staff, are equally warm and compassionate, and you are made to feel in good hands when you enter his office. I highly recommend the good doctor for anyone suffering from back pain. read more

I was initially referred to Dr. Perri by my chiropractor. After over 10 years of dealing with multiple herniated discs in both my cervical and lumbar spine, I finally stopped resisting the idea of spinal surgery and went to my first appointment with Dr. Perri in the fall of 2009. Not only was I having unbearable pain in both legs but both of my hands were numb. He wanted to do surgery on my cervical spine as soon as possible due to the risk of permanent nerve damage. I had anterior fusions from C3 through C7 and a few days later had posterior fusions from C2 through C7. I got back all the feeling in my hands and the pain going down my arms was gone. After 1 round of physical therapy I regained most of my range of motion. Six months after that, he did lateral and posterior fusions at L2-3 and L3-4. When I awoke in recovery, there was no longer any nerve pain in my legs. After healing up, my back felt normal again. Over the past year or so, I began having severe pain in my left leg. My rheumatologist sent me back to Dr. Perri and, much to my surprise, the MRI he had ordered on my back showed collapsing discs at L4-5 and L1-2. I couldn't wait to get back to the O.R. to get rid of the intolerable pain in my left leg. I returned to full-time work last week, slightly more than 2 months after major surgery. I would never consider going to any other surgeon for my spine. He truly is the most gifted and skilled surgeon, not to mention his kind, compassionate demeanor. As a medical office manager, I can say that I found his staff to be the most courteous and professional team. He is out-of-network with my insurance plan but I don't care. I would spend my last dollar on getting the best care available in order to remain functional and pain-free. I would highly recommend him (and have several times). read more
