Dr. Perry saved my life. She saved me from a dangerous situation!! She is not a surgeon I chose for myself. She was assigned to my case via Cedar Sinai's Second Opinion program and I feel so fortunate that I landed on her desk. I truly hit the jackpot with her. The quality of care from her and her team is something I never experienced before. I felt like someone she actually cared for, she went out her way for me. Thanks to her, I have a neck and a chance at life. I will forever be thankful for her. read more

I am writing to document my extremely disappointing experience with Dr. Tiffany Grace Perry, MD, following what was initially a very positive doctor-patient relationship. Approximately two years ago, I began treatment with Dr. Perry for serious spinal issues. During that time, she performed two surgeries for me -- one involving my neck and back, and another involving a stimulator implant. Initially, I found Dr. Perry to be compassionate, attentive, and very helpful, and I trusted her medical care completely. However, after my surgeries, my experience changed dramatically. For nearly two years, I repeatedly attempted to schedule follow-up appointments with Dr. Perry due to ongoing pain and concerns. Despite numerous attempts to contact her office, I was unable to see her directly. Whenever I reached out, I would receive messages or callbacks from nursing staff advising me that if I was in pain, I should simply go to the emergency room. I found this response dismissive and unhelpful, especially given my surgical history with her. During this period, the only provider I was able to see was Jonathan, her physician assistant. While he reviewed imaging and X-rays with me during appointments, I often left without clear answers or guidance regarding my condition. On Wednesday, I finally had an appointment with Dr. Perry. Our appointment began at approximately 2:30 p.m. Jonathan first spent about thirty minutes reviewing X-rays. We then waited until nearly 5:00 p.m. before Dr. Perry finally entered the room. Unfortunately, the interaction was deeply upsetting. I found Dr. Perry to be rude, dismissive, and unwilling to answer our questions. When we attempted to ask about my condition and future treatment options, she refused to provide meaningful responses. Instead, she stated that " she only fixed a fracture"and she kept repeating herself... this of course was nonsense because she was supposed to replace a rod in my spine, as she said my whole body was out of alignment and fuse my neck so I would walk straight and have next to no pain...so she obviously messed up...because I now walk like a giraffe and I'm in excruciating pain 24/7..before leaving the room and her basically dismissing us without even listening to me or allowing me to speak she said she would speak with an associate regarding my disfigurement, but she doubted he could help me. Of course we have heard nothing further from her? The conversation left both my husband and me shocked and distressed. My husband attempted to speak with both Dr. Perry and the chief nurse afterward to address our concerns, but we were dismissed again. At one point, Dr. Perry reportedly responded, "If you want to leave, leave." Dr. Perry also stated that she had spent significant time reviewing my X-rays online previously, yet I had never received any communication or follow-up regarding those reviews. As we were leaving the office, we overheard two other patients near the elevator expressing frustration over similar experiences with Dr. Perry, describing her as rude and saying they would need to find another doctor because they no longer felt comfortable under her care. Based on my personal experience, I can no longer recommend Dr. Perry to other patients and friends. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of communication, empathy, professionalism, and continuity of care I received after entrusting her with major spinal surgeries. What began as a positive and hopeful medical relationship unfortunately deteriorated into one that left me feeling ignored, disrespected, and abandoned as a patient. I believe this matter deserves serious attention so that other patients do not experience similar treatment. read more

I have severe cervical and lumbar stenosis and have had symptoms for a long time only in my lower back. When I sought out surgeons for my lumbar situation Dr. Perry was the only one (had 7 consultations) who was willing to proceed without first having surgery on my cervical spine. Her common sense reasoning was reassuring. She said although my cervical situation was severe; let's take care of the lumbar region since you only have lumbar symptoms! Dr. Perry proceeded with a very conservative lumbar surgery. It's been six years and I still have no symptoms in my cervical spine! I have since moved away but would recommend seeking out Dr. Perry for her expertise and common sense approach to all things spine related! Gary T. read more

I had cervical stenosis that was debilitating, I was losing the use of my hands and was stumbling when I walked, stepping up a curb was a serious effort. Another physician had ordered an MRI of my C-Spine and once the results were back, I was referred to Dr. Perry. Getting an appointment was a longer wait than I cared for, but it was worth it. Dr. Perry reviewed the MRI, and after an examination offered that a non-surgical approach wouldn't be successful the stenosis was too severe; she recommended a laminoplasty at C3, 4, & 5 vertebrae. I was anxious to schedule the surgery, my quality of life had degraded severely, and simple tasks had become difficult, I struggled to dress myself; I could not tie my shoes, buttoning a shirt was an impossibility. The procedure was successful, and after a couple of weeks of post-operative pain, I was on my way back to a normal life. It has now been 18 months, and I am actively working and doing things that I had not been able to do for years prior to surgery. My dexterity has returned and strength has been recovering. read more

Dr Perry came highly recommended by a former patient of hers. When I first saw her she suggested a battery of tests and rehabilitation before going to the OR. My symptoms worsened over the period and new imaging showed I needed a disc replacement. It was pretty scary but what an amazing job she did. She is the nicest kindest thing and so is Jonathan. She spent more time with me pre and post than any other surgeon that I have seen. I will say this, she isn't easy to get into and you have to be patient. If a doctor can take you right away you might want to question why. Also, regardless of you see Dr Perry always have your films available or you will be wasting everyone's time. She is a surgeon and really can't help you without MRI/CT. You need to get your primary care physician to order these before your appointment with a surgeon. Thank you for taking great care of me!! read more

About Tiffany Perry at cedars Sinai - promised to send me your Ca rehab for months for rehab and lied! Never intended to - scam to get me on the table & make $&. STAY AWAY FROM CEDARS- YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!! Now multiple other neurosurgeons say not only was the major surgery she performed unnecessary & unethical but she botched it- putting me in a wheelchair!! She's a liar& a fraud. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHARLATAN AT ALL COSTS! She messed up the surgery she did & put me in a wheelchair. Also does not give pain medication, does not send you to the in-patient rehab as she promised, & lies in her notes to cover her surgical errors. I went to another state where it was confirmed by numerous other surgeons dr Perry made errors in the surgery that resulted in me having cauda equine, cauda equine root, and arachnoiditis- all due to her surgical errors. She is incompetent and you should stay far away from her. All these surgeons agreed her performing the surgery needs to be investigated by the medical board and is grounds for malpractice. If you are foolish enough to pick her as a surgeon, you will have problems. Don't report her to the hospital or patient relations, call APS for help. If you appeal to your insurance, her team gets violent with you. Record everything & call APS but don't tell any hospital staff. Just stay away. I found a review that she has a long track record of butchering patients. It's been confirmed by three surgeons out of state my surgery was unnecessary and she screwed up the surgery causing me to be in a wheelchair- but I had to go outside of CA to get doctors to say this! You have to go to another state & don't say where you Got your surgery to get an honest assessment- Tiffany' Perry should not have a medical license & neither should the other doctors who did the case with her! Cedars is also to blame. Stay away! Would give her a zero. Rude, dismissive, arrogant, and does not care about if you walk again or not- neither does the hospital. GREEDY LADY who is doing surgery when it's not needed! Lawyer told me this is the most unsafe neurosurgery dept in Los Angeles and Perry is dangerous. Make the trip out of state and get an opinion on if you really need surgery. This woman will pay in the afterlife. You reap what you sow. Stay away from her & cedars Sinai. I'd also stay away from UCLA because they were complete cowards and refused to address & fix her errors. You have to leave CA for that to happen. Other states also just treat patients with more kindness and are more concerned with patient well-being than surgeon & hospital pocketbook. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHARLATAN AT ALL COSTS! She messed up the surgery she did & put me in a wheelchair. Also does not give pain medication, does not send you to the in-patient rehab as she promised, & lies in her notes.

Dr. Tiffany Perry was recommended by my cardiologist at Cedars so I just called to schedule an appt. and an unhelpful scheduler told me to see Dr. Perry I had to somehow get an MRI of my spine before they will even schedule an appt. How do you get an MRI and know exactly what they are supposed to focus on in the MRI without a doctor putting in a specific order first? I must be missing something here. read more
