Patient Reviews
Dec 04, 2025
First, I am so grateful for Dr. Pearlman. When I seemed to be losing sight in my eye and no ophthalmology group would see me on short notice, I went to an urgent care center. They were not equipped to help me; I told them I need them to connect me to a specialist. I looked up specialists and asked them to call Retinal Consultants. Dr. Pearlman carved out a spot for me very early in the morning, and while in his office in Modesto, he deftly arranged for me to meet a surgeon in Sacramento as fast as I could get there. Within hours of meeting Dr. Pearlman, I was having my detached retina reattached. I have continued follow up appointments with he and his capable staff. I’ll forever be grateful for him!
