The prospect of cataract surgery generated considerable anxiety. It turned out to be a ‘walk in the park’. And it made a big difference. Werner&Lore Hetzner

Last year i had cataract surgery performed by Dr.David H. Perlmutter. He took his time with me and explained the operation and what was to take place. I was amazed that this operation was painless. My vision now is excellent and because I compete in shooting i opted to have the Intraocular Lens put in. I'm not having the difficulty in shooting i had before and so far this year in my first competition i won two championships. His staff are also to be commended they all treat you like family. I'm so happy i had my surgery performed by Dr. Perlmutter he is so gentle and caring and i would highly recommend him.

Friday, l was seen by another doctor and was scheduled for 2 surgeries on each eye.......felt l needed a second opinion. I called his office Monday morning and was seen by him this morning. He answered all my questions, gave me a thorough exam and l never felt rushed. From the lady who booked the appointment, the 2 helpful ladies at the front desk, Gretchen, Joe and Mike - everyone was professional and helpful. Dr. Perlmutter is a kind, gentle soul who is brilliant! No surgeries for me, a new prescription for stronger glasses and a 6 month follow up! HIGHLY recommend this HIGHLY competent young doctor!!!

Dr. David was great. He has a nice way about him that made me feel comfortable, and he spent some time explaining my condition to me. I actually felt like I understood what was wrong and how he wanted to treat it.
