What Is an Ankle Sprain?

I cannot recommend Dr. Perez enough. She is truly someone I felt I could trust from my first consultation. Dr. P presented the facts and designed a treatment plan specifically tailored to my end goals and lifestyle. I was truly so worried about the pain, post op issues, and just everything in general since this was unknown territory for me, but Dr P explained in detail every step of the pre op / post op process and recovery. I am now almost 4 weeks post surgery, recovering well and happy to say I am planning on my other foot next summer! Please do not continue with discomfort or pain because you are worried or scared, have the consultation with Dr. Perez , you will have nothing to lose with a consultation and everything to gain with a pain free future to look forward to! The office is so conveniently located and clean! Thank you Dr. P and staff for the professionalism and care you showed me - much appreciate it!

Dr. Perez is a kind and talented doctor. I spent 2 years trying to find someone who could help me with my foot and was given one misdiagnosed after another. Dr Perez found the problem immediately . She got me scheduled for surgery very quickly and now I'm doing PT and am expected to make a complete recovery.

I want to give a huge thank you to Dr. Perez for helping to restore the health of my toenails. When I first started treatment, my toenails were all black and I honestly was worried about whether it would ever improve. After 5 treatments (see attached), I noticed a change in the color of my nails, and after 10 treatments, my toenails has gone from black to pink. Images not shown. This process has taught me that healing takes time, patience and consistency. I am so grateful for the care professionalism and treatment plan that I received and after 2 more treatments, I will be moving into maintenance and I cannot be happier with the progress. I cannot wait to wear open toe shoes again without nail polish. 😀 Since my toenails are pink again, the thought of covering them up, may not be an option I will choose.💃

I had a great experience with Dr. Perez while being treated for my toe fracture. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the entire recovery process. She explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan.

Giannin is so knowledgeable and my visit gave me a lot of insight about my bunion pain and also my Achilles that had bothered me in the past too. Highly recommend giving her a visit!

Dr. Perez has a great personality that’s friendly, engaging and thoughtful. She remembers personal details which add to the personal touch that many physicians lack, especially within any specialty. I thought the absolute worse, that I had fungus or that my foot was going to fall off. Turns out it was eczema, but scared me for sure. She brought my mind to ease and actually prescribed the right thing on the first visit. Highly recommend.

Eric Villegas

Yesterday was my first visit with Dr. Perez. I was impressed by her practice. Very chic, modern and clean. The technology she uses is above par. I was able to receive some test results immediately. The staff is warm and friendly and definitely conveyed empathy and assurance. This was refreshing. The Doctor took her time with the consultation. She was detailed in her explanation and thorough with her diagnosis and prognosis. She allowed for questions and provided detailed replies and options for treatment. At no time did I feel rushed. The doctor spoke with candor about my circumstances and didn't fill me with any false hope. I appreciated her direct approach on how I got to where I am currently. Even though some of the information shared was difficult to hear, I did leave with an optimistic outlook. I look forward to returning for our follow-up visit and the treatment proposed. Thank you Dr. Perez!
