We love Dr. Mike! I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. They are always very friendly and patient.
Dr. Perlstein is an exceptional physician. We have many years of positive experiences with him, back to before the practice merged with PCH. Between Dr. Mike & Nurse Anna, we feel like our son is getting the best care. Thankful for his care, compassion, and wit.

We love Dr. Michael Perlstein. He spends time with us, listens to our concerns and has an excellent rapport with the children. He addresses any of our issues, carefully explaining medications and their effects. All our babies have Dr. Perlstein as their primary care physician.
Dr. Mike is the best. Couldn't ask for a better physician.
Dr. Mike is the absolute best. We adore him and would never switch. He never rushes us and gives our son the though and attention he deserves.
I appreciated that Dr. Mike took time to get to know my kid and talk through his issues. We didn't feel rushed like we sometimes do with other providers.
Dr Mike has been caring for my kids for over 20 years. Absolutely love the care he provides and the time he spends talking to us about everything and making a plan with us involved. His staff is amazing too! So grateful to have had him in our lives for so long.

I'm so pleased with the care provided to my son. Dr. Perlstein was so attentive and thorough. He's truly the best provider to care for my son so far.
We love Dr. Mike. He engages with my children and makes them laugh. He spends time listening to our concerns and explaining things in a way that made sense. We also loved the M.A, Anna. She was so kind and caring and spent a great deal of time with us. We couldn't be happier with moving to this facility
I enjoyed the honesty and clarification of information given by the pediatrician. Though this was not the office or doctor I am familiar with, he made seem as though it was. I am grateful for being able to get my child seen as soon as possible when in need. Thanks for everything!
We were 100% satisfied
Dr Mike has been a godsend for our children and family. He is knowledgeable, practical, and very personable. Our children receive excellent care because of him and his staff. The change to primary children's has increased the level of bureaucracy we deal with, but his level of care hasn't changed.
The kids like Dr Mike
Dr Mike is extremely professional and knowledgeable.
