This was my first meeting with Dr Peretz but he came highly recommended via a physician friend and a patient . His staff was extremely friendly, as was Dr Peretz , and after his consultation we decided on a course of treatment , and I am excited and convinced he will help me( I have bad knees ). 5 stars!

At my post op appointment, I told Dr Peretz that I considered my hip replacement to be a modern day miracle. I went from a walker and literally not being able to put weight on my leg without a lot of pain to walking with no pain in 3 weeks. Very thankful for him and his wonderful staff who communicated each step of the process. I was never left guessing. I couldn’t have asked for better care or a better experience.
