Dr. Perry made us comfortable from the start. He was clear, concise and professional without being cold or "too busy". He was very present, which is crucial in my opinion when you've just learned you have cancer. We like that he has performed 1500 of these surgeries. His nurse was wonderful and gave us the greatest hope when she said "this is about a cure." We have scheduled surgery for May.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
