I've been here several times already due to infected ingrown toe nails and have always had the pleasure of being well treated by Dr. Perlman. He has always taken his time to explain to me the procedures performed as well as the follow up treatment. His office has many exam rooms even though the waiting room is a bit small. Judy at the front desk is always very pleasant and professional. Also, they have long hours on Tuesdays which makes it very convenient for us, the patients. read more

Perlman Michael DPM - Time for some torture LOL - Podiatrists Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Dr. Perlman is a great. Took time to explain everything not only to me yet my son (the patient) as well. Wait time today wasn't bad..yet the first was a little crazy. High patient volume get the staff is great! Very friendly and helpful. Doris was really helpful in making appointment and getting information for my fiancées appointment (new pt to this office). Once in the room the MA was really nice and gentle while handling my sons hurt foot/ankle. Even actually spoke to us about her new baby. Nicest MA. Overall, the staff was great. read more

I was very hesitant to take my daughter to DR Pearlman after reading the reviews but decided to attend the North Bergen office. I was surprised to see friendly staff and DR pearlman took the time to explain everything to me and my husband. My baby was all smiles with him. read more

Do not go here. Dr. Perlman is a huge waste of time and doesn't care about listening to his patients. Forget it if you are in pain- he won't listen to you and he will think he knows best. You'll also waitove tan hour to be seen no matter what time you make your appointment for. AVOID! read more

Terrible and dishonest practice. Firstly I had to wait for 2 hours with an appointment. I had a fall 6 week prior to appointment and had injured both my ankles; with left being worse; and went there as I had some swelling on my left leg. They took an xray of both my legs and wanted to put a cast on my right leg which had no pain; for which I chose to take a second opinion as I had no pain. The other doctor confirmed that the bone is actually healed and he did not see any reason to put a cast on my leg whatsoever. Please do not go here. read more

This office is horrible!!!! Between the over booking of patients for one timeframe, to the way the staff is treated, to the ignorance from the physician himself, it deserves no stars!!! I am usually not one to leave a review but my son who is now 6 months had to come here since he was 1 month old for his 1/3 club foot he was born with and the experience was only pleasant because of the staff. He casted my sons foot to help the bone correct itself but the cast was either cutting off my sons circulation or positioned incorrectly. One time when the cast was taken off there was a sore which looked infected and he said "it's ok, it's just from the cast"....I said "don't you dare put that cast on his foot until that sore heals"....On a more positive note though, The staff is AWESOME but they too are not treated with respect or even acknowledged unless he feels something was done wrong in his eyes during a patients visit. If something is done in error, address your staff at a different time and still with the respect they are owed. Do not address them in front of patients. It is unprofessional!!! read more

PLEASE DON'T go to him. He basically cut my circulation off. Wrapped my leg and foot too tight after bunion surgery. It was days of being ice cold ,swollen and purple. He doesn't care to hear your in pain. He is INCOMPIDANT, rude arrogant and office is not clean. Thank god I FOUND a new podiatrist that will take care of another doctor's faults. New doctor saved my leg and foot. Dr pearlman will also say a second surgery is needed after bunion surgery a few months later to remove screws. This is not true , it's just to go make money off ins. Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR RISK YOUR HEALTH. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. READ OTHER REVIEWS ALL OVER SOMETHING I FAILED TO DO, ALL SAY THE SAME!! read more

Finest crook. terribly dishonest. I have to agree with other reviews, even when you have appointment it takes around 2:30 hours for them to to take patients in. During my multiple visits doctor constantly lied to secure next visit. The procedure that should have been over in an hour took 3 months to complete, every visit he made me feel that next will be the last visit. Even after three month condition was not cured. He sees his patients as ATM to withdraw money without any concern for their condition. Front desk staff is also arrogant. I had seen ppls fighting on their front desk. If you are concerned about your well being avoid this crook at all costs. read more

I have to agree with the previous review by Minesh C. I am not satisfied with this facility nor will I go there again or recommend this place. I went to see a Podiatrist for a sprained ankle. BTW: A podiatrist is NOT an M.D. The podiatrist wrapped my foot and ankle then put a boot/cast and sent me to do an MRI nearby that same day. I was asked to come back and see the podiatrist on Tuesday to get the results of the MRI. During that 2nd visit to see Michael Perlman He told me I needed surgery and wanted to schedule me for that coming Monday. I wasn't too comfortable with that and Perlman said he performs many of these surgeries every week. Also the office in Secaucus called Riverside Medical Group is a bit filthy in my opinion the chair in room 1 is visibly rusted. The medical equipments look old. During my follow-up visit to see the MRI results I brought in the MRI CD and the podiatrist did not return it back to me. I called to ask for it back because I needed it to bring it to my 2nd opinion appointment. That CD I found out later was missing over 500 images. I had to go back to the place where I got the MRI done and asked for a new one. Thank G_D I went for a 2nd Opinion. This time I went to an orthopedic surgeon who told me it was too early to think about surgery. It turned out I needed a full-size (up to the knee) cast and the podiatrist had given me a 1/2 boot cast. I also did not need to have my foot or ankle all wrapped up either. read more

What a crook! Dishonest! Don't use this doctor!! I agree with the other reviews!! During my multiple visits Michael Perlman consistently lied in order to secure the next visit. I had clicking in my ankle, got an MRI, the doc recommended surgery (arthroscopy) to clear cartilage damage. After the surgery the clicking remained!! Doc told me it would take less than 2 weeks recovery time following the surgery. I received a 2nd opinion, of which the new doc told me 6-8 weeks is normal recovery time following Arthroscopy surgery. Michael Perlman also wanted to perform a more complicated surgery which required breaking my ankle - rendering me disabled for 6-8 weeks ... 2nd opinion ruled it out. After my visit following an unnecessary ankle surgery, the doc wanted me to return every week only to enter the room, look at my ankle and say "looks good ... see ya next week" There was absolutely no need for me to return until my stitches were to be removed. Michael Perlman is more interested in billing unnecessary surgeries in order to bill the insurance company for $$$$. Avoid this dishonest crook!! Needless to say my new podiatrist is currently working with me to fix the issue that the unnecessary surgery created, along with the initial complaint "clicking in the ankle." I wish I would have checked Michael Perlman out before letting him perform surgery on my ankle. I will never make that mistake again with any doctor!! AVOID MICHAEL PERLMAN!! read more
