Surekha Perlman

I have had nothing but good experiences at this office! I was referred by my PCP to Dr. Perlman and for whatever reason they didn't get the referral. After calling Dr. Perlman's office every day for about 3 days to check on the referral, they took things into their own hands and got the referral for me. Then I told them I was on the T:Slim X2 insulin pump and they told me that they have never heard of that pump before, but instead of turning me away, they found a Tandem rep, got the information they needed to treat someone with that pump, and scheduled an appointment! Then today I was over 30 mins late for my appointment due to the winter storm and they still let me keep my appointment! They were very thorough and accommodating, and friendly! I have read reviews about a receptionist being rude or mean, and I think I know who others are talking about, and I have nothing but good things to say about her as well. She is definitely "to-the-point", but I would in no way consider her rude. I took up a lot of her time asking questions and she made sure my questions were answered and that I understood what was happening. Overall great experience!

We had worst experience with dr.Surekha. Had gone their to check my T******. She has submitted for various tests and looking at the results, she scared me on which I cried. But, looking at what she told I said I don’t have that symptoms. Then, she submitted another test quoting it might be lab error, which came good. During this process, I had gone through a lot of mental stress and also wasted $200. She never bothered to discuss on my new results though I called office multiple times. Don’t go here and waste your time & money and especially your peace.

Dr. S Perlman is the most incredible human not to mention such an excellent Dr with true expertise and empathy. She is my Dr as well as 3 of my daughters. Pls have patience if you call in to schedule they are very busy because she is just that good. Thank you Dr S for being you.

The office staff is horrible. They never get back to you on anything. We called 17 times in a month just to get answers on prescriptions. The office manager lies and blames every one else including the doctor. The dr is never in to even get an appointment.

Very thorough, excellent patient care, thoughtful, caring, listens, gives great feedback.She inspires and lifts you up! She is simply amazing! Truly blessed to have her as my physician!

If Webster’s had a definition for “Perfect Doctor” I believe only 3 words would be need, “Dr. Surekha Perlman”. If it were not for her, I do not think I would have survived the COVID virus. My family doctor was taking a more passive approach to my treatment. I called Dr. Perlman late one afternoon for her opinion. After discussing my condition, in depth, she immediately prescribed steroids and antibiotics, and not a minute too soon. Within a day the illness had moved deep into my lungs. Because of Dr. Perlman’s immediate diagnosis and treatment, I was able to stay out of the hospital. She also called to check on me throughout my recovery, even when she was out of town with her family over the holidays. Both my wife and I are Dr. Perlman’s patients and she is the most personable and caring doctor we have ever known. She makes you feel more like a close friend than just a patient. Unfortunately, there is not enough space here to describe how grateful we are to have found Dr. Perlman.....

While she has trouble with staffing at times, it is worth being patient. she is a brilliant doctor who takes your entire health situation seriously. She has gone over and above to find causes and solutions to my family's medical issues.

I didn’t have good experience with doctor Perlman and the front staff. They didn’t not return my calls and took long time to complete my request. When I called to follow up, they were not nice on the phone.

This woman said she would help my son and he needed her to testify in court about his medical condition and when they went to serve her with papers for court she hid behind her staff so they couldn’t serve her. Then she turned around and dropped as a patient but continued to see my daughter and always ask her how he was doing when she was there for her doctor appointment.

Only wonderful things to say about Dr. Perlman and staff.

Dr. Surekha Perlman is a phenomenal doctor. Extremely thorough, and very obviously the best in her field. Her staff is great as well. I would recommend Dr. Perlman to anyone.

Dr. Surekha Perlman is one of the best in the city. I have been seeing her for a few years now and I love the fact that she is very professional and compassionate. Dr. S is very knowledgeable and keeps up with research in her field. She takes a keen interest in her patients and I have always felt valuable under her care. She goes above and beyond what most physicians are willing to do for their patients and I have found that to be a very rare trait. When I had challenges on the administrative side and raised that concern to her, she worked to resolve it and make it better. Also, a shoutout to her assistant Isel.

Dr. Surekha Perlman and her staff are very nice and always help me with any questions I have. Dr. Perlman will really take time to evaluate and discuss your concerns with your body and explains it really well. (Which not a lot of doctors do) She do understands her patients, knows what she is doing. Love her!

I was in very poor health due to multiple autoimmunes. Dr. S Perlman brought me back with proper medications. I absolutely love her caring and very thorough abilities. She has always cared for and treated me as if I were her family. Thank you Dr. S.

Dr. Perlman is attentive, caring and through. She diagnosed a health condition that others missed and quickly resolved the condition.

I had to call 3 times to try and schedule an appt. I waited on hold for a total of 8 minutes just to be told they don’t have an appointment available till January.

I've call 3x last week and today to get my Vit D Rx called in. The pharm has also called and still no Vit D. It's been over a week!! I can't understand why patients are not taken seriously.

It made me uncomfortable watching Dr Jeffrey Parlman being rude to two of his stuff members during my two separate visits. My own experience wasn’t pleasant either, he seemed very uptight and Some of the questions that I asked, he answered but seemed annoyed. I found a specialist who is nice and treats people with respect.

Dr.Jeffrey Perlman has NO bedside manner. He never took the time to ask questions or check on me. This is someone who is not personable and is very rude. I inquired about my prescription and he simply stated well it’s verified on my end I don’t know. So unhelpful and dropped me as a patient simply because I had a work conflict and missed one appointment. Not worth anyone’s time. My new physician is 100% better than this guy.

Dr. S Is awesome, thank you for getting me balanced back out .

Loves to cancel appointments (that have 1-2 month wait times!) at the last minute (this happened 4 times within a year, and I only had to see her 4 times a year. That's twice the amount of appointments I had to schedule). Terrible, unprofessional staff. Bad at getting back to you. If you as a man have anything but diabetes, she's not really interested.

Worst ever!!

Everything that you worry about going wrong happens here,the staff and Dr Jeffrey is the last person i would recommend to anyone

Office Staff is bad. They don't return calls. Even after we fax the documents they say they haven't received any documents. I was charged $200 plus for the appointment and sent back by dr saying they didn't receive any documents to review.

I was referred to this Dr Pearlman and they left massage for me to call and set my appointment. I have been calling for a week now the girl said she would have them call me back they were busy. No calls returned. So I called and there playing on the phone laughing and makes me wait on the line. Then says they haven't received my Referral. But yet last week they had it.

This is the worst and terrible doctor I have ever met in my life. No one should come to his office. He doesn't have a bedside manner. When I first came to his office and tried to explain my situation, I am a pregnant woman and I am having gestational diabetes, he didn't even listen what I am telling him, and he rolled his eyes over on me once in a while and just looked at my sugar logs, that's all he did for every appointments. Then the next funny thing is he wants me to come to the office once a week, and all he does for each of his appointment is listening to my lung, my heartbeat, checking my legs and looking at my sugar logs, that's all. I don't know what is the point of wanting me to come to his office once a week. He and his nurses don't even remember the insulin doses that they called and gave me over the phone after seeing my logs. He keeps increasing the doses while my blood sugar levels at 70s. I told him if he keeps increasing the doses, I will suffer low blood sugar, but he doesn't care. He called me and yelled at me that I am at fault since I am not following his instructions. He told me if I want to find another doctor then go ahead. He made my cry after the phone call. His office and his nurses never refill your prescription on time. They increase the doses, which are new prescriptions, but they want the pharmacy fax the refill prescription to their office. The pharmacy told me that they don't have new prescription from the doctor, they cannot refill my insulin. It went overboard so many time that I cannot put up with this doctor anymore. That brings stress to me myself and to my unborn baby. This is the worst and terrible doctor I have ever met in my life. No one should come to his office. He doesn't have a bedside manner.

Dr. Perlman has a rude attitude but very thorough by asking questions. He didn't want to give me my metformin because of my PCOS and said that's the OBGYN issue. Went to another endocrinology clinic and they help with everything even my PCOS medication. They were surprised Dr. Perlman said that to me.

Best doctor i ever met in my life .

Dr, Surekha Perlman is excellent and provides very caring care and explains things very clearly.

Words cant' describe the excellence on service, care, knowledge and compassion from Dr S. and her staff!!

Dr. S Perlman is extremely personal as well as knowledgeable with any questions I may have. Her staff is friendly and very helpful.

Dr. Surekha Perlman is a wonderful doctor and she will take the time to explain what's happening with your endocrine system in terms that you, the patient, can easily understand. I would recommend her to anyone that has any thyroid issues for sure! :)

I took my mother-in law to many Endocrinologist for her Diabetes. Never ever her sugars got under control. Finally I took her to Dr.Jeffrey Perlman. First time in 25 years her sugars are under control. Her overall health has improved. I would recommend Dr.Perlman very highly.

I loveeee Dr S!! For years I had been asking my gyno to check my thyroid for my yearly appointments, because I have a history of thyroid disease in my family and I slowly was gaining weight and wasn't feeling myself. Every time my gyno would check my thyroid levels, they would always come back normal, and I would get so frustrated because I knew something was off. My mom encouraged me to go see Dr. S because she's been seeing her for over 15 years, and I'm so thankful I did. She's changed my life. The very first visit she ran blood work, and found out that I had Hashimoto's Disease and PCOS. I've been seeing her for about 7 months, and she's helped me lose about 30 pounds and feel like my old self. She's so friendly, and always takes the time to discuss my results and answers all my questions. I loveeee Dr S!!

I have been going to Dr. S. Perlman for over two years now. From the first visit to the most recent she has always been so kind. She takes the time to explain what is going on in a way that is easy to understand. Love her and her entire staff, I would highly recommend her to anyone needing an endocrinologist.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. S. Perlman and her staff! I have seen several doctors over the last few years and finally found her and I am grateful! Not only is she kind and compassionate but, her shear determination to find and treat my symptoms gave me hope for the first time ever! I actually look forward to my appointments as she takes the time to explain the path to my recovery.....and she nailed it! Think about it.....going from a place of hopelessness to that of recovery!

I am actually shocked at reading the reviews here. I see Dr. Surekha Perlman and she is wonderful. THE most thorough doctor i have visited! Bedside manner is wonderful. she is listed as one of the best in her field and i can see how. The staff has always been GREAT. The only time i have ever called where they dont answer is during lunch. They have never let me wait more than 5-7 min in the waiting room. everyone from the front desk intake to the guy taking blood there is friendly and talks to me like i am a person/friend... not just a patient to bill to insurance. Maybe things have changed quite bit since these other reviews... i have had nothing but a 5 star experience there. I am actually shocked at reading the reviews here.

This is the worst run office that I have ever encountered! No return phone calls, waiting weeks for lab results, they cancel appointments at the last minute, call in the wrong dosages to the pharmacy, absolutely no follow through or sense of urgency! Really liked Dr. S. but this office needs a great deal of help or they need to close!

Do you enjoy chasing your doctor and their staff down like you would an errant toddler? Do you like having to make sure they've actually done what they have (repeatedly) said they would do? Do you like having schedule your appointments two months in advance only for them to be canceled at the last minute because the doctor doesn't feel like coming in that day? You'll Love Dr. Perlman! Either that or you'll get so sick of your health being held hostage you'll pray for the day robots take over so you don't have to think about it anymore.

Dr. Jeffrey Perlman is a great doctor but I have never seen a more incompetent office staff in my life. In one year of them caring for me this is how many mistakes they made: on at least 3 or 4 occasions they messed up my prescription with either the wrong dosage or the wrong brand, they scheduled one of my appointments during non office hours (I sat outside the office waiting for them to open the door for 30 minutes), they called me a few times saying my test results were in and when I called back they told me the results weren't ready yet, I had to tell them 5 times to stop calling my emergency contact with my test results and to call me first, oh and the front desk doesn't even say a word when you call them they just put you straight on hold, for a very long time. Once my pharmacy called me incredibly upset because they spent all day trying to get a hold of someone at this office when my prescription was almost out, I had to call my primary care doctor to fill my prescription because of this office's incompetence. Glad I'm with a specialist at UT Southwestern now where their office doesn't make stupid mistakes like this on a regular basis. They even continued to call me about follow up appointment after I already told them that I was with a new doctor.

I went here for three years. It was fine for the first two. Jeffery Perlman is an interesting and very intelligent guy with a dry sense of humor. Within the last year, the staff became just unbearable. I lived in Denton at the time and would drive just to see him. Sometimes I would get there and they would tell me they didn't have me down for an appointment. I even played the voicemail they left me for that date, but I was still sent away. They would also often cancel my appointments due to the doctors being out. They're incredibly talented doctors but they need a new staff and new priorities. I went here for three years.

Dr. Surekha Perlman (Mrs. Perlman it is a husband/wife practice) is incredibly talented. I have achieved much success with Dr. Perlman managing my struggles with thyroid, early menopause and weigh gain. Under the care of Dr. Perlman I feel much younger and I've lost 50 lbs. I searched high and low for ten years for a competent doctor who really knew how to care for mature females. She really knows her stuff! Stop searching you have found your solution here.

Best advise - Find Another Doctor ....

Dr. S. Perlman is one of a kind. Not only is she GREAT at what she does but she has a heart like I have never seen during my forty years in the medical field. My son has been extremely sick for over six months. After nine specialists we found Dr. S. Perlman and SHE found the problem. Not only did she find out what the problem was but she treats my son like her own. She is AMAZING at what she does and will not give up until she finds and treats the problem. She is the most gracious, sincere and gentle soul you could ever meet. She is a true Humanitarian and she lives the oath Do No Harm everyday. It would be a huge mistake not to come see her if you are in need of an Endocrinologist that truly cares. Dr. S. Perlman is one of a kind.

Dr. Surekha herself is kind, considerate & seemingly knowledgeable but her office personnel apparently changed appointment times without successfully notifying the patient. 2 separate office appointment visits were made by my 90 yr. old husband who walks with considerable difficulty using a walker and we found that there was NO appointment on their schedule even though we had an office appt. card showing that time & date! Getting through on the office phone is VERY time consuming!

The worst

Don't even waste your time. The office staff, appointment makers, billing, and the doctor all are a mess. Several times I would show up for an appointment and they wouldn't even have it on their book. This is after receiving a confirmation call the previous day. Billing over charged me twice and for several weeks have gotten "Someone will call you back" with no call back. The doctor tried to give me a dangerous drug which could of killed me due to my kidney failure if I wouldn't have done my own research. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR! Don't even waste your time.
