He was very patient, explained everything so well, answered all my questions, and was in no hurry to rush out the door. I was also able to get an appointment fairly quick. I would recommend him 100%

Dr pernikoff reminds me of my mother. Before she past her entire life was devoted to patient care and concern as an registered nurse. This doctor who I've seen over many years is one unique individual who's only surpassed by his knowledge and professionalism. I'm a plumber hvac contractor and oten am inside different peoples homes. I connect with many people and time and time again hear how dr pernikoff saved my life of someone in my families life.
