Patricia K Perry, MD

She’s Amazing!
Dr. Perry is one of the best Dr’s I’ve ever been to. She’s personable, caring and straight forward, not to mention extremely knowledgable. I went to her with an acne problem that I’ve struggled with since childhood. She gave me some medication and clearly explained to me what I would experience. The breakouts got worse before they got much better because my body was adjusting to the treatment, exactly as she said it would. I guess because dermatology is largely a cosmetic practice, i’ve seen some pretty rude patients come in, and Dr. Perry always handles it with poise. I say this because I’ve read some of the previous comments, and having seen it for myself, I have to say. Don’t let that discourage you from going to see her. She’s the sweetest person and really cares about every one of her clients.

Dr. Perry is an outstanding doctor who is an experienced and dedicated professional who cares deeply about her patients and their well-​being. She has a remarkable gift of making you feel at ease and comfortable. I have spoken with other people who have been treated by Dr. Perry who had nothing but success stories to described. Her care and professionalism is exceptional. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.

I trust and respect Dr. Perry very much. I have referred patients to her and EVERYONE has agreed that she is professional, kind, informed and most importantly, great at what she does. From the serious (skin cancers) to sublime (botox), she is a doctor I’m glad to have and recommend.

***UNFORTUNATELY THIS REVIEW WAS DELETED BY Unilocal WEB ADMINISTRATION, SO I AM REPOSTING HERE, 7/​22/​2013***:
I think it’s unfortunate that such a terrific doctor is being held liable in some of the poor reviews below, for our health care system standards of billing or the going market rate of seeing a top doctor as a new patient for a visit, so I really must weigh in:
Dr. Perry is an ongoing presence in my healthcare, and an important player in my dermalogic care. If you want a professional who is knowledgable, engaged, committed, and with high expectations for your diagnosis, treatment and recovery, then do see Dr. Patricia Perry, she is one of the very best.
If you want low-​rent doctors who will squabble with you over their price, or advise what your insurance may or may not pay on your behalf – then look elsewhere.
She’s a terrific doctor and, again, I find these few negative reviews so unfortunate and misleading. Do see her and see for yourself her quality of care.

This is the first time that I am writing a review about a business/​person. I was so impressed with Dr. Perry that I had to sign up for a Unilocal account just to write a review for her. The way that I was treated by Dr. Patricia Perry was phenomenal. She is not only a good doctor but she is gifted. I had dark circles underneath my eyes that I had had for many years and I went to my provider’s doctor and other highly reputable doctors in Beverly Hills for my half raccoon eyes. Basically, none of these doctors could help me out and lot of them said that it was irreversible sun damage. All I can say is that after I saw Dr. Perry and she went through a very thorough examination and explained in simple terms that each degree of color of skin needs a different treatment and gave me subsequent treatments for it, finally I no longer have half raccoon eyes! Every morning I look at myself in the mirror and I thank God for having met her and giving her such a great gift that she could cure me. I wish I had a before and after picture to show all of you Unilocalers what an amazing job she has done but you’ll just have to take my word for it. Thank you, Dr. Perry!

Wow. So it’s not just me giving Dr. Perry one star. Need I really say anything? I will anyway. I went to Dr. Perry to have a small but curious looking growth on my back examined. In summary, she assessed that it was likely a benign growth that would simply go away on its own. Fine. I was literally in and out of there in 10 minutes — no exaggeration. Then my insurance was billed $ 120 (my portion came to a percentage of that). Really? $ 120 to look at my shoulder and then send me home? That’s the equivalent of $ 720/​hr. This is exactly why we have a healthcare crisis in this country. I don’t question her qualifications, but I do question her motivation. So I sent her a letter expressing my concern and requesting a reduction. Nope — she wouldn’t even consider it, backing up her excessive fee by defending her qualifications and claiming that her fees are in line with other similar doctors in the area. Funny, I just scheduled an appointment for a full body exam with another dermatologist just a couple miles away. Estimated fee over the phone: $ 50-​$ 70. And I know this is a legit doctor because it’s the same office I went to before the doctor I was seeing, moved.
I don’t make a habit of writing letters asking for reductions in office fees, but there have been a few times that I’ve experienced ‘sticker shock’ when getting the bill in the mail. Every time that I have requested a reduction, it has never even been an issue. Not once.

Worst experience with a physician of my 50-​year life. Doctor was unsmiling and brutally brusque in my two appointments. Chided me for not scheduling a skin exam and said my general physician should do them every year (??? isn’t that why I went to her, but no, I didn’t ask for the exam and never got one).
Did a biopsy and promised me results in a week. After I made three phone calls, receptionist said there was «mix up» with the lab results. Nearly two weeks later, Dr. Perry finally called me (no apologies, mind you, for putting me thru agony and for late test results). And the result? Beneign (thank goodness). I will not be returning to or recommending Dr. Perry to anyone. Side note: Receptionist was friendly, but was listening to her iPod (not very professional).

I visited Dr. Perry a few months ago about a keloid. She was very informative about it because I actually had no idea what it was. She was calm and patient and friendly
and eased my mind about it using personal testimony. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly as well. Dr. Perry is someone i would recommend for anyone to see if they want to be in the hands of a real professional. She told me if I had any questions I could call at anytime and she would be more then happy to help. I had a great experience and I think anybody else would to

I called the office to schedule an appointment and asked if they took my PPO Insurance. was told by the receptionist that they are considered out of network and I would pay whatever my «deductible was based off of my insurance; which is usually only 10% or 20% of the bill» and she would not give me any dollar figure… shame on me for not double checking with my insurance but I trusted what she said (my primary care doc referred me to Dr. Perry)… When I was checking out I asked the receptionist what I owed and she said «don’t worry about it we will send you a bill in the mail once I find out what your insurance co-​pay is»…ALL WHILE KNOWING THEY ARE OUT OF NETWORK AND I WOULD BE CHARGED $ 120 AND NOT THE 10% OR 20% SHE FED ME ON THE PHONE.” I received my EOB from my PPO, called and found out the ugly truth. I don’t like that she wasn’t up front with me. I feel maybe they needed the business and said whatever they could to get me in the door. The receptionist beat around the bush when I called to discuss the bill and was misleading. I have a great insurance plan and she is not an in-​network doctor. I don’t feel they are honest and will not return.

Terrible experience with Dr. Perry. The first appt I was impressed and followed the suggested treatment but it did not help my acne which was a completely new treatment to me. On the second appt, my skin was obviously worse. The doctor was mad and yelling at me like I was a child. She told me I had to be 100% perfect in all things she told me to do. She did not change my treatments at all, just sent me away and suggested that I can make a follow up, «if I feel like it». For the next 6 weeks I followed her plan EXACTLY, only to see the worst break outs I have ever had. Was I going to return to her and pay another $ 50 just to prove to her what a terrible treatment plan she had me on? Definitely not. I would recommend that you stay away from this doctor, especially her terrible attitude to patients. I am a working professional and I need a trustworthy dermatologist that can be professional and caring, that is not what I experienced with Dr. Perry.
Side note, her receptionist is extremely nice and very helpful.
