David is extremely patient and very professional. Informs you every step of the way while administering epidural. I would highly recommend him. I was suffering from extreme pain down my left anterior thigh and lower back as well aShow mores extreme pain while trying to sleep. I went for my second epidural and so far I am feeling 80% better already. I know it takes 2 to 3 weeks for it to kick in, but so far, very positive outcome.

Highly recommend Dr. Perna! I went in today for a sore shoulder that I’ve been dealing with for two weeks. He didn't rush at all; he took his time to do a thorough evaluation and clearly explained the issue to me. He was very Show morepatient and well-mannered, and he set me up with a great PT plan. Great doctor!

I never feel rushed when i see Dr. Perna. He listens to me and gives me time to ask my questions. Then we discuss resolutions and possibilities.

Dr. Pern is a consummate professional. I’m always early for doctors appointments. He could’ve chosen to just let me sit there until my appointment time, and yet he worked me in early. He even offered to have a conversation with my pain management doctor down here in Monmouth County. Maybe help him map out future treatments for me.

Dr Perna is an exceptional physician who combines deep medical expertise with genuine compassion. From the moment you walk in, you feel heard and respected—he takes the time to explain diagnoses clearly and ensures all questions are answered without rushing. His attention to detail and thoughtful approach to care inspire real confidence. It’s rare to find a doctor who is both highly skilled and so personable, but Dr. Perna truly excels at both. Highly recommended.
