Dr. Monica Milstein Perlman, MD

Dr. P and staff are disorganized-one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Led to a serious misdiagnosis. Stupidly gave her a 2nd chance which led to more disorganization and very poor follow through. Only gave 2 starts because there is another doctor there who seems good.

My GP Dr's office (practice) was bought (?) by Dr. Perlman. The experience was a NIGHTMARE. This is predatory medicine. These people are awful. I had to pick one star but it is really a minus 5 stars (-5) Tijuana must even be better. I am forced to look for a new Dr after 25 years. A "sold out" patient RB in Encinitas

I love all these 5 star revues, further proof 80-90 % of all revues are FAKE & left by friends, family or the proprietor themself - What a JOKE ! They should rename this clinic 'Barnum & Bailey Clinic' - Talk about a total circus, my God ! Arguably the worst experience of my life & I was once held hostage at gunpoint ! If you hate your money & free time I would strongly recommend this clinic - If you like to be called a liar by an incompetent employee & like to be lied to incessantly then look no further you have found your dream Dr's office ! If you like your records being lost, continually called the wrong name & then have them try and prescribe medications & treatments that coincide with another patient then you've hit the jack pot ! Reminds me of the guy who has to have to have his left arm amputated & they accidentally remove the right arm & then they say oopsy daisy, our bad, can you come back in for another appointment, we promise we won't mess up this time - JOKE ! If you like to have an office constantly make a series of mistakes & rather own it call you and say we need you to come back because we are unable to keep our records in order, again DREAM OFFICE ! If you like to have employees get on the phone with you while their distracted on facebook talking to you in incomplete sentences, worse grammar & use street talk that they are unable to do their jobs correctly - Bottom line is in todays busy world people DO NOT have time to get run all over town due to an overwhelmingly incompetent staff , then get jerked around on the phone for hours - Zero call backs & will make you call repeatedly to correct THIER mistakes & then get mad at you because they can't do their job If you are ever feeling like your life is missing lying, run around, deceit, incompetence, professionalism, proper etiqutte & you just want to be talked to by someone who got all C's & D's in highschool who is unable to do their job then you've hit pay dirt with this bumbling band of clowns. A real shame there are patients in REAL need of medical care & these guys run their office like a 2 dollar car wash, SAD !

My first appointment was an unusual appointment. I was told by the not too friendly receptionist that the first visit was not really a medical check up visit and i had to make another appointment to discuss medical issues. She said this is just for the doctor to get to know you. I was taken to a room waiting to be seen by Dr. Perlman (that i had requested when i booked the appointment) to find out she sent her very young physician assistant to meet and greet with me. The PA was nice, but I found out it is very hard to see the doctor, ever. I noticed there were a lot of advertisement for beauty products in her office lobbies, which confirmed my suspicion of this is just a money making establishment for the doctor who is the owner of the clinic. I was directed to make another appointment to discuss medical issues, which I decided against. God knows how much they will bill me for seeing a physician's assistant for the meet and greet. I need a doctor not a business for making money for the doctor. Very bad experience!

Amazing Doc!!!

Amazing doctor! Really took the time to understand what was wrong, and suggested a few options for treatment

Great Doctor. I can always be seen that day or the following! Her staff is really friendly (I believe the front desk lady is Roxana!)

Monica Perlman and her staff were very nice. They spent a good time with me, about 30 minutes, which is hard to find these days with primary care providers. I'll definitely go back again.

The intent seems to be to balance care and cost - the office is busy (hopefully efficient) - use PA's to get decisions made by lowest qualified person - provide access to preventative care systems - time will tell if cost increases perform better than averages

You hardly ever see her. Her Physician Assistants do all the work. Does she really exist??

I have a lot of wonderful things to say about Dr. Perlman and her amazing staff. I've been a patient for a little over 3 yrs now and between Jennifer, Kristen and Dr. Perlman my family &I have had the best care anyone could ask for. I receive prompt service, valuable courtesy calls; follow up emails and true concern for my health. They don't rush me through a visit and make me feel like a number. I am so happy with the care that I now have my husband and 16 yr old daughter seeing them too. Dr. Perlmans team is ALWAYS kind, respectful and they really care about their patients. Perlman & her team are THE BEST CARE GIVERS I HAVE EVER HAD! Thank you for always being there for me and my family. We truly appreciate the after hours calls, the quick lab result response time and most of all the friendly warm staff. Even calling the receptionist is a great experience. Team Perlman is doing it right & I would check them out if you're looking for a fantastic doctor.

Dr. Perlman's office was a bad experience for me. Even though my health insurance covers the Gardasil shot series, they insisted that it was not covered. So, I paid $164.00 for my Gardasil shot, and paid my copay, and then they charged me $26.00 for an admin fee?!?! I checked with my insurance, and they said I should have only paid my copay. It has been 2 months, I'm still waiting for the claim to go through. I changed doctors, and they charged me nothing for my Gardasil! It's a 3 shot series, so it gets pretty pricey out of pocket. Her office is run more like a business than a health care facility!

I have seen many MD's in the past but none have the clinical intuition of Dr. Monica Perlman. She was able to diagnose my problem after being her patient for 2 months. Prior to that, I had seen many and none were as knowledgeable, straight forward, and thorough. Her office staff are great and her physician extenders support her so that she can do what she does -- and be GREAT -- ie, the best there is! I would never go anywhere else.

I have only seen the her PA's but they were both extremely nice. The office staff is wonderful as well. Cannot complain about their services. The longest I have ever waited to get in was about 10 mins. Very easy to make a same day appointment. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!!!
