Dr. Pearlman is hands down the best. He is on time and goes over it all make sure you understand what is coming next. Then he is off to the next person. I wish other Dr. valued our time like he does

Appointment went smoothly, quick but complete. I've been seeing Dr Pearlman for years for headaches that used to be nearly every day & currently only occur a few times a month. He has always taken excellent care of me

Pleasant, efficient helpful doctor and staff are apparently sincerely trying to help my ongoing problems
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/28/2026
Services were excellent. Wait time for an appointment was initially 10 months. My follow-up should have been 3 to 4 months but the soonest I can be seen is 7 months out. That is an extremely long wait time for patients dealing with an issue.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/24/2026
Perfect facility and staff. My only complaint would be with the front desk staff. They seem to always be less than friendly.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/30/2025
Dr. Pearlman's nurse is exceptionally nice and very professional. The ladies that check you in and check you out need customer service training. They are somewhat rude and act like they don't want to deal with the public.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/24/2025
Easy parking, clean environment, friendly staff, short wait time, the doctor was nice and explained everything in a way that's easy for me to understand.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/23/2025
Everyone was wonderful from the front desk, to the nurse, and, of course, Dr. Pearlman.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/23/2025
The doctor was helpful and didn't speak down to me like a lot of other providers have in the past. The front desk staff missed lunch because of the patient load. They should be able to step away to have a break in the middle of the day and take a moment to recharge. Dealing with the public is hard work that should be rewarded!

Everything was great with TKC-Neurology and Dr. Pearlman (and his staff). The only negative I experienced was the parking situation (not enough) that made me a couple of minutes late, though it didn't affect my appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/12/2025
Had good visit with the physician that saw on [date]. He listened to and explained my concerns where I could understand them. It’s great to encounter physicians like him. The nurse was pleasant as well. So overall it was a very pleasant visit.

The nurse that took my vitals and logged in questions for the dr was absolutely amazing . She did not rush me thru as if I were just a number. She seemed Genuinely interested in the questions I had. She is truly what any patient wants when they are anxiously awaiting the dr. I don't remember her name as that's one of the issues I have is memory problems .
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/3/2025
Everyone was wonderful but I did have to wait for the check in lady to quit playing on her phone before I could check in. The other two were busy helping patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/2/2025
Very helpful, and was in and out of the appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/2/2025
There was a very full lobby, but I was brought back right away and put in a room. I was not in there but a minute until Dr Pearlman came in. He asked me all the right questions to get my situation figured out and get me started on new medications. He seemed very thoughtful and thorough. It didn't take long, but it didn't seem rushed. He asked me what was going on in my life and was very personable. I really like Dr Pearlman and his team.

As always, Dr. Pearlman is beyond being an exceptional physician. He's thorough, NEVER rushes through an appointment and always takes the time to listen to my concerns and questions. I will truly miss him and his guidance and care if he ever (most deservedly!) retires!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/23/2025
