Roberto F Pereira's Online Review Report Card

Dr Pereira saves lives of those who have acute and chronic heart conditions. He is conscientious and caring. He is the best in my opinion.

Dr. Pereira is a skilled physician and surgeon but beyond that he is a concerned human being who genuinely listens to his patients concerns. This gives him ammunition to act on a patients issues that a simple exam might overlook.

Dr. Pereira is very knowledgeable helpful and concerned with my conditions. He listens to my input and informs me of options. I have every confidence in his abilities.

I do not recommend him. I have had multiple other procedures but none have caused me discomfort and pain like this one. When asked why I had this huge swelling he blamed me by saying I am not the man I used to be My last surgery was three years ago and was nothing like this. Take my advice look elsewhere you cannot trust the hospital websites they NEVER state the truth. Jasper is a backwater hospital go to a main stream in Atlanta

I had a pacemaker replacement which he decided to move towards the center and lower part of my chest for no good reason. I have had pacemakers for 23 years with no problems and my body had a perfect cavity to accept the new one. No Pereira decides he knows best he moves it creating another scar placing it on top of a rib which will mean for the first time in 23 years it will be visibly sticking out of my chest for the next 10 years. He implants it with a processed pig offal pouch which my body

I have been seeing Dr Pereria for heart problems for a month and as far as Im concerned he is the only Cardio doctor in North Georgia. I highly recommend him.

I had a pacemaker replacement which he decided to move towards the center and lower part of my chest for no good reason. I have had pacemakers for 23 years with no problems and my body had a perfect cavity to accept the new one. No Pereira decides he knows best he moves it creating another scar placing it on top of a rib which will mean for the first time in 23 years it will be visibly sticking out of my chest for the next 10 years. He implants it with a processed pig offal pouch which my body rejects he causes a massive seroma and hematoma. It was sticking right out of my chest and it burst out 7 weeks later oozing puss and I had to undergo a corrective procedure at another hospital performed by a proper Dr. The operation took 3 12 hours to correct removing blood clots and debris from whatever he had implanted into me. Neither Pereira or the hospital can agree as to what he did implant as shown on my records Not only that I was prescribed drugs that he knew I had an allergy to which caused me a debilitating c.diff infection. It has cost me $10s thousands and three months of my life. I have consulted with three other senior well respected Cardiologists and none of them could agree with his course of actions. Their view was that the relocation was totally necessary gave a much increased chance of infection and risked damaging a pacing lead that had been in place 23 years. It created a great deal more trauma than was necessary by digging away at and tearing my pectoral muscle. One has to ask why some Dr. end up practicing in back of the woods hospitals. I guess some do by choice others simply do not measure up to the top jobs on offer. I think its worth travelling to a major hospital and check the reviews very carefully. I was forced by circumstances to have my procedure by Pereira check out the ratings and reviews on sites not related to the hospital before committing to what for me was a nightmare.

Dr. Pereira and his staff cant be beat I own them my life.

I will never go back to this guy. He dismissed me and my concerns and clearly did not want to take time to explain anything to me about my condition.

Dr. Pereira is a caring smart and wonderful cardiologist. He saved my life.
