My experience with Dr. Michael Perniciaro, has been great, but his nurse Kathy is the opposite. I call to schedule an appointment with Dr.Perniciaro through his nurse Kathy and the way she treated me was unacceptable.I explain to her my conditions and I need to see Dr. Perniciaro asap, she advised me that it was not a big deal and I need to take medicine, and that she would not be able to schedule me with my doctor until next week. Really! Now, I have a nurse that diagnose me as my doctor.I call the office again, left message for Kathy to let her know I need to schedule, she return my call and schedule me with a Nurse Practitioner, not my doctor. I wonder if Dr.Perniciaro is aware of how she treat his patients???

Hands down the best doctor ever. His compassion for his patients is above and beyond I have ever seen in the medical field. He will call you personally with test results and make sure all your questions are answered.

I look forward to my visits with him. To say he is amazing is an understatment. He makes you feel comfortable, loved and well cared for. When he walks in it is like you have been friends for years! He delivered all three of my children and was by my side for any and all issues.

He is one of the most caring doctors I know. Anytime a doctor will call you on a Saturday to let you know that your test results were good after surgery, he is a keeper. He is always smiling and has a great sense of humor.
