He's been helping me for 10 years now. He is excellent. He's an excellent doctor. He's very thoughtful. He's very good at explaining things and he listens. And I worked for 10 years at the Brigham as a unit coordinator. So I know from doctors. So yeah, he's top notch. He has a sense of humor. He's a package deal.","review_date":"2026-06-19"},{"body":"I've received consistent, compassionate care from this physician for fifteen years!","review_date":"2026-06-14"},{"body":"He's the best there is","review_date":"2026-06-13"},{"body":"He was extremely knowledgeable as to my past doctor appointments notes.. I've never been so happy for this appointment because I haven't been cared for as to what I've been dealing with for 6 years..I look forward to getting care with him and how he wants to approach my FND situation... thank you","review_date":"2026-05-22"},{"body":"Dr. Perez was an excellent and thorough physician, kind, listened, did a really good job, answered all my questions, and also his resident, Dr. [redacted], was excellent as well. Both of them were kind, friendly, and extremely helpful.","review_date":"2026-05-14"},{"body":"The only unusual aspect of this encounter was that a medical student was present. The supervising doctor handled an awkward moment with her (caused by me interacting with the student) rather nicely.","review_date":"2026-03-30"},{"body":"I really appreciated the care and respect the team provided. Everyone was friendly, warm, and helpful.","review_date":"2026-03-29"},{"body":"Dr. Perez was kind,comprehensive, and extremely thorough. He explained everything in a very articulate, reassuring and understandable manner. He gave me hope, has a very aggressive plan of action and I am very great ful to be under his care.","review_date":"2026-03-26"},{"body":"Dr. Perez is very professional, but also very approachable. He made it very easy for me to talk through all of my medical history and allowed me the time that I needed to be able to express it. He gave me plenty of time. I feel like it was almost like an hour visit, so at no point did I feel rushed. I didn't feel stressed during the appointment. He is highly specialized in what he does, which makes him an expert in his field, and that gave me the confidence I needed to seek him out as a provider. So overall, I just think he's exceptional.","review_date":"2026-03-13"},{"body":"This provider is a world class clinician with incredible insight, empathy, and people skills. My experience could not have been better.","review_date":"2026-02-25"},{"body":"Was suggestive and I did not feel he fully listened to what I had to say. Seemed to profile me based off of the notes from the resident, then not care to listen to what I had to say. [redacted]","review_date":"2026-01-19"},{"body":"I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Perez. He's a fantastic provider. I've seen him for maybe four years and I do have functional neurological disorder, which is something that is often misdiagnosed and it tends to be a length of time before obtaining a diagnosis and often it is kind of dismissed by the provider. So once I was able to see Dr. Perez, I felt validated. He's extremely compassionate, very knowledgeable, and he has set up my care now at Mass General. I go weekly for CBT. Since going, I was completely on disability and I'm now back to working one day a week. I'm a registered nurse and I work in New Hampshire. And I would definitely attribute my ability to actually overcome so many things in the care I received at Mass General to my ability now to go back to work, return to work.

He came to greet me at the waiting area, and from the moment I met him, it was an amazing experience. He took the time to listen, provide valuable information, and share his diagnosis in a professional and knowledgeable way. I am so grateful to be his patient! He is truly unique in his specialty, and I fully trust him with my health.","review_date":"2025-10-08"},{"body":"Dr Perez is very professional helpful and supportive to our family. The dementia journey has been so long but dr Perez has offered nothing but support and care on this journey","review_date":"2025-10-08"},{"body":"I really like Dr. David Perez. He was the one that diagnosed me with FND, though I think there's some still learning to know more about FND, which I already am informed about, but I think neurology needs to be all up with all the new findings. for FND. Thank you.","review_date":"2025-09-19"},{"body":"This provider rushed me during my appointment and only gave me 13 minutes of my 20 or 25 minute appointment.","review_date":"2025-09-19"}]}
