Dr. Pearl is an amazing doctor. He listens carefully and is sensitive to the patient. He is truly one of the smartest people that I know and we look forward to our visits with him. He always takes our own research into careful consideration and takes his time with us when we see him. We never feel rushed and we feel to relieved to have him on our side dealing with our daughters epilepsy. Having him as our doctor was truly been life changing in many ways. We trust him wholeheartedly.

He’s the best. That simple. We owe him so much. I swear, if he called me today and said he needed help cutting his grass, I’d drop everything and head over to help him however I could. And we’re 1k miles away from Boston.

He has little regard for the well being of his patients. He refuses to believe that brain injuries exist. Find a different dr who cares about your health.

Do not take your innocent children to this abusive dr. Lied to my elementary and middle school teachers about me having autism spectrum disorder. Suffered abuse under his care. Refused to treat me for brain injuries. For SEVEN YEARS, I have suffered from a traumatic brain injury because he claimed Austic people don't get brain injuries. I am preparing to take him to COURT. He needs to lose his license to practice medicine.

Best doctor we ever had - The only reason that we're not still with him is that he moved out of the area. His brilliance is matched by his respect for his patients and their families. My son (who has a complicated case of epilepsy) received top level care - I am happy to recommend Dr. Pearl to anyone at any time. He is simply the best.

We came from out of town to see Dr. Pearl. He was wonderful to us. He worked with our daughter's doctor at Duke Medical Center to try and help with a diagnose. He was professionally familiar with all of the other specialist that our daughter had seen, even though they were located in different states. After talking to Dr. Pearl, my husband and I left DC feeling much better about our daughter's situation.
