I thought he was very nice and explained everthing to me. He took the time to answer any questions I had.
Dr. Perugini was great. I didn't get to see him in the hospital at all though, only the residents. I did see him on my 2 week and 6 week post op visits. He has a very kind demenure and is very informative. His staff is wonderful, as is everyone at the weight center at UMASS University Campus.
Well he looks very young. He is very nice but talks really fast. The office staff rocks they are all very kind.He is very involved with the planning and keeping you informed of risks and possible complications.I like him very much and he seems to have a great bedside manner as well as competancy surgically doing 800 surgeries himself.
The only thing that bothered me about him was his speed of seeing you. he was always late and then he would spend time with you but he seemed fairly rushed because he was always running behind.
HE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIM, HE MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS MY FAMILY OR MYSELF MAY HAVE HAD. WHILE BOTH HIM AND HIS PROFESSIONAL STAFF MADE EVERY EFFORT TO PUT TO REST ANY FEARS OR CONCERND WE HAD.
THERE WAS FOLLOW UP CLASSES FOR PEOPLE 6 MONTHS OR OVER WICH WAS ALSO VERY INFORMATIVE, ALSO THERE WAS FOLLOW UP WITH DIETITIAN THREE WEEKS AFTER THE SURGURY WTIH MORE OFFERED IF YOU FELT YOU NEEDED IT. HE EXPLAINED NOT ONLY THE SURGERY BUT ALL OF THE POSSIBLE RISKS INVOLVED. HE ASSURED ME THAT THE RISKS WERE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OVERALL SURGERIES DONE. BOTH BED SIDE MANNER AND SURGICAL SKILLS WERE GREAT.
My first impression of Dr. Perugini was he was very professional and knowledgeable. My impression of him hasn't changed one bit. His office staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He addressed every issue and was very thurough in making sure all my questions were answered. I'd rate him very high overall. He seemed very knowledgeable and willing to discuss everything with you. I believe both surgical competence and bedside manner are very important.
My first impression of him was that he was awfully young. My age, or a bit older. I met with him 3 different times. The first time was to discuss if he would take me on as a no blood transfusion patient. He agreed. The second was to meet with him and discuss the surgery. The third was a quick check-in during the preadmissions testing. He was very nice. The office and staff are very nice. They have very large chairs there that are made for obese patients. They are set over to the side and blocked off a bit too so I didn't feel embarrassed or like I was being watched. They have a lot to get through at UMASS, but I heard that they have shortened the waiting time by adding more staff members. I love the program and all the people!
When I went to see Dr. P. I was suprised to find out he looks like Jeff Gordon from NASCAR.
He was very caring, patient, gave me a lot of good information. He is sending me for a lot of test, and clearances by other Dr's because of some health issues which make me feel good to know he wants me in the best of shape.
He went over the risk of the surgery very well. He tells you just like it is. I think that was great.
He tells you right from the start that aftercare is VERY, VERY important. He even has a kind of structured aftercare program from what he told me.
His office staff is very helpful. They were very pleasant to deal with.
I fely like Doogie Howser was going to do my surgery, I was so tempting to ask him his age, he looked like he was 20....But he was very nice, informative, very honest and up front...Went over everything from the very start and what he expects of you after surgery...
Dr. Perugini was great. He was understanding to all questions I had, and had answers for them all. I still think he is great, but at my last appointment I was a bit dissapointed that I didn't see him. I saw someone else who didn't identify herself, at all. I had no idea who she was or how she was affilated with Dr. Perugini.
I have always seen him at every visit, so I was cought off guard when I didn't see him.
