Perry Sexton's Online Review Report Card

We like Dr. Sexton; he's friendly and runs a tidy practice. However, he is dangerous. He made multiple, serious errors in my drug prescriptions, the last of which landed me in the hospital for a month. Over the last year and a half he prescribed several medications that either should not be prescribed for people with my conditions or, worse, have well-known interactions with my primary medications. As my PCP, it was his responsibility to check for contraindications, so now reviewing the medications he prescribed it is shocking to see the bold warnings that are easily available with a simple search. A few of his errors have made other doctors gasp. I am filing formal complaints with my insurance company and the Medical Board of California, with the hopes that other people will not have to go through what I went through.

I was with Dr. Perry for a couple of years. I had certain ailments that were not being addressed properly because Dr. Perry did not look at the root cause. He is more prone to prescribing medication to treat a condition. I visited a functional medical doctor after years of not being happy with his prognosis. Dr. Perry was unwilling to partner with another doctor or add on various tests to my lab work. He stated "having more data is not necessarily valuable." I switched my primary care doctor, and I am much happier. My doctor now is more open minded and willing to help find a root cause instead of just treating symptoms.

I am one of the patients who gives Dr, Sexton 5 stars. As others say, he is extremely empathetic. While sitting in the waiting room, I have noticed that he follows his patients back to the front desk and makes sure they have the paperwork filled out properly, and to answer their last minute questions. He does not hide behind formality. I respect his character and medical experience absolutely.

I would strongly NOT recommend Dr. Sexton. My initial "meet and greet" entailed 45 minutes of him pontificating on the Covid Vaccine. I could handle that, but when he started politicizing the vaccine and candidates and even news outlets, I was done. That was my first and last appointment with that guy!

After I moved from Carlsbad to San Diego I initially left Dr Sexton as a patient with hopes I would be able to find a doctor as great as him in San Diego. After 2 years and 3 different doctors, it was an easy decision for me to return to Dr. Sexton, even if it means I have 30 miles drive now to see him. His "bedside" manners are outstanding, I always feel cared about and listened to, never rushed. More often than not he comes up with solution that do not involve medications, but rather solutions like, posture, shoe inlays, personal training, etc. So far we have found a solution to any of my medical issues.

Dr Sexton was my primary for 1 year. He prescribed 3 medications for me, Suboxone, Adderall, and zolpidem. After my last visit 3/3/20, I decided never to go back. He outright accused me of possibly sellin my Subpoxone on the street! As a victim of ID theft, persons have used my info and name illegally. I obtained a copy of perscription lists from local pharmacies of all my orders for past 2 years. Dr SEXTONs name came up 5-6 x/month. He was perscribing theses meds in various quanties(unlike my usuall monthly allottment )to someone using my ID and medicare insurance cards. The receptionist Kelsey, 3 or 4 times accussed me of missing an appointment. This was absurd as I was a 1x/mo patient, perscribed 3 meds, in always the same quantity. On the pahamacy lists, it shows Dr sextons perscription for unusuall amounts and also other meds 3-4 I have never heard of. Most disconcerning, is the fact that I was billed and charged as a patient of his 3 months before ever meeting him. I believe my referall to him was medicine profit related, possible for himself or Dr Nathan Miller another Pain Specialists whom Dr Sexton was vehenemently protective of. Apparently perscriptions were continually written in my name and social security number and health care insurance to two or three persons a month! Ive never felt so much discust nor seen such lack of professional conduct and lack of empathy. I distrust this man, will report this man as well as those assisting his I believe addiction to the meds he was perscribing as well as his i believe billing not only medicare but three other private insurances as well all under my name. I hope he loses his license and checks into a psych unit somewhere in El Salvadore or maybe, better yet Greenland. \Do not go to this fraud for anything medically related, unless its to court to sue his false ass! Negatine 9 stars. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Violated my confidentiality and lied about me to another patient. Incredibly unprofessional.

I had the same experience as the reviewer who said he pushes pills til you’re dependent then denies refills. Interesting that he is also is in the business of treating addiction at other facilities. He violated my confidentiality and lied about me to another patient! Incredibly unprofessional.

If you're thinking of going to Dr. Sexton I encourage you to read all of the bad reviews online first. He was my doctor for many years and I refused to believe the horror stories until recently. There are numerous allegations of patient confidentiality being breached, gaslighting, pushing pills and then refusing refills once patients become desperate, or, in my case, neglecting to communicate very grave medical test results. He has cultivated a creepy cult-like atmosphere and his office staff act like callous snobs whose only skill is running a credit card machine.

He violated my confidentially, too!
