Dr. Peralta is patient, spends time with you (never rushed) and is knowledgeable. He’s also kind and has a sense of humor. I’d say he’s the best doctor I’ve ever had.

He listens, confirms his understanding with feedback, and indeed approaches his inquiry from the patient's perspective. He is informative, makes recommendations, addresses concerns, and decides treatment with you.
