Dr. Lawrence Perlmutter, MD

Dr. Lawrence Perlmutter has helped me twice now in an emergency. He is personable, Knowledgeable, kind and a wonderful doctor.

This is a great clinic. I had my eye checkup here and the process was fast and easy. However, on top of that fast procedure, the wait time is very disappointing.

Dr. Perlmutter was friendly, professional and efficient. My first visit went well. Suggested a new eye drop for my eyes and suggested I call in 2 weeks if there is no change. Couldn't ask for more.

I couldn't have had a more positive experience with Dr. Perlmutter. While my optometrist was away, I woke up with significant pain and blurred vision in my right eye, unlike anything I'd ever experienced. I called my optometrist's office, and they reached him on vacation. He called me and suggested that I try Dr. Perlmutter's office (there had been some sort of snafu in who was originally supposed to be covering for my very conscientious optometrist).

I called Dr. Perlmutter's office, and not only did they agree to give me an appointment, they brought me in as soon as I could make it to their office that day--even though I was not their patient.

Dr. Perlmutter, who practices with his son, examined me carefully-- including both visuals (eye chart) and "staining" my eye with some sort of dye to confirm his hypotheses. He then provided explanations, reassurances and medication--it was either a "cold sore" of the eye (herpes simplex), or a self-inflicted scratch from while I had been sleeping (since I've been having migraines, this seemed quite possible). He prescribed based on the assumption of the worse condition (herpes simplex), and gave me my first dose in the office. He also said I would likely feel much better by the next day, which was comforting. Finally, he gave me an appointment for follow-up four days later.

All worked out as he had predicted, and by Monday (my return visit), my eye was clear. He then shared with me then that this infection can be hard to treat, if left too long. Again, I thanked him for taking me ASAP.

On the way out, I asked him a completely unrelated question about cataract surgery, and he took the time to answer carefully.

All in all, I would certainly return to see Dr. Perlmutter when I need to see an ophthalmologist again.
