About Michael A. Perlstein, MD

Pediatrician Michael A. Perlstein, MD, realized he enjoyed guiding and mentoring children while working as a summer camp counselor as a teen.

With Phoenix Children's, he found an organization that matched his goals in providing complete care for children. He serves as a physician lead in the Phoenix Children's outpatient program and has served 10 years on the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics board.

Working closely with the families, he hopes to help shape a child's development, instilling a strong sense of self-confidence and self-esteem.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Perlstein loves spending time with his wife, three kids and multiple pets, and coaching soccer. He also has a passion for movies.

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.

Dr. Mike was a great doctor. He's very relatable to the kids and he explained everything very clear to me.

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.
