Maritza I. Perez's Online Review Report Card

I highly recommend dr. Perez. She always puts patient care first. She is professional and her expertise is the highest. I would recommend her without reservation.

Dr Perez permanently scared my face which has left me depressed. I went in for a kenalog shot for a small cyst on my face. I pleaded with her to dilute beyond the norm as I rather have suboptimal results than atrophy. She is very hateful & dishonest and over injected. I got a huge purple crater in my face . Soon, all the surrounding skin lost pigment and turned bright white I called her office and her staff told me there was nothing they can do, wait 3 months. I had to call numerous people, repeatedly, as the crater continued to worsen, she could have diluted it with saline to stop the damage but she couldnt even be bothered to call me back. In the end I had a huge, purple pit in my face and pigment loss. She never tried to help, ever. I had to beg her colleagues to help me but they refused, eventually i went to a very good dermatologist outside Dr Perezs shoddy group to get help. I had to have filler placed in the crater which only brings it up 70% of the way, temporarily, but I will be forever scared. Its dark purple and pitted. Highlighting that is the skin that lost pigment and is bright white because thats how much she injected! Its a very rare side effect to lose pigment and if one has any experience, they can avoid atrophy. If it does atrophy , its temporary and not discolored unless so much is injected, it can never recover. It has been 8 months and it is permanent, its so ugly and she knew I was already self conscious about my skin. Ive been very depressed and embarrassed. She is an awful dr, heartless and without any ethics. Never, ever let her touch you unless you want to be scared for life and feel ugly every day. I will always have a purple crater in my face and a big white patch surrounding it. I really more than dislike this Doctor. Make sure you go to someone that didnt have to go to Med school in Puerto Rico, thats always helps. Biggest regret of my life.

They keep you on hold and on hold and on hold and they know nothing. I have spent two days trying to get through.

Dr. Perez saved my life 4 years ago; during my semiannual checkup, she biopsied a mole that I was not concerned about, but of which she was suspicious � she correctly diagnosed melanoma that was in situ and has carefully monitored me since that time. From the beginning of my relationship with her many years ago, I have found her bedside manner to be exceptional and her exam to be thorough; she has a way of putting one at ease, while that patient feels quite vulnerable in a hospital gown, lying on an examining table. I am truly indebted to Dr. Perez for giving me my life.

Service was outstanding prompt with great staff. She saved my life after Dr Goldberg diagnosed a benign tumor that turned out to be malignant. I highly recommend her and will follow her wherever she goes !

Awful doctor, her sloppy work is know to other physicians. Horrible results and poor communication skills.

I brought my 10 month old daughter to Dr Perez when her toe nails looked odd. Dr Perez diagnosed her with a toenail fungus without even doing a culture. She prescribed a powerful, toxic antifungal polish (which I wasnt foolish enough to put on her). Sure enough 15 seconds into a 2nd opinion w/Dr. Goldberg and he knew it was no fungus. I would never go back to her.
