Dr. Peretz is a great surgeon. I have suffered with back and hip pain for years. He determined the cause and resolved all my pain issues. Finally being able to get 7+ hours of sleep now has been a game changer for me. I cannot recommend a better surgeon than Dr. Peretz.

Dr. Peretz did an excellent job with my total hip replacement surgeries. With each surgery I was walking without a cane by the tenth day and totally functional and pain free during the same time frame. I would recommend him if you need that type of surgery.
