Good job. Very fine doctor. Took off the original bandage, don to skin. Have 2 different size packages of Vaseline: used part of one to cover the wound then stuck the bandage on and re-wrapped the stretchy tape. Was that coShow morerrect? Will the tape last for 2 weeks?
My experience with Dr. Pearlman was perfect. He was totally professional, efficient and patient friendly. Without any request from me, he arranged for me to see a plastic surgeon at Northwestern Hospital the same day, and the physShow moreician he sent me to was outstanding.

Reviews
I'm happy with Dr. Pearlman and his treatment of my cyst BUT I think I need more coaching on follow up wound care. A little advanced troubleshooting would be helpful so I know what to do as the little strips start coming off, etc.
Incredibly skilled surgeon, great interpersonal skills and very professional....highly recommend.
Excellent "bedside" manner. Friendly but businesslike and explains things well. He actually called the next morning after his MOH surgery on my leg to see how I was feeling, and ask if I had any questions.
Dr Pearlman and his nurse were both prompt, courteous and professional. I am very confident in the Doctor’s ability and his knowledge and look forward to our ongoing relationship
Great Doctor . He explained everything he did and what he should do
My experience with Dr. Pearlman was perfect. He was totally professional, efficient and patient friendly. Without any request from me, he arranged for me to see a plastic surgeon at Northwestern Hospital the same day, and the physician he sent me to was outstanding.
The overall experience was quite disappointing. The doctor and all the assistants were very nice. After each excise, I was directed to return to the waiting room. I sat with everyone who came and went from before 9:00 AM until around 2:45 PM. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable. There wasn't any reading material. I waited an hour between the first and the second excise. I only waited about 15 minutes for the third and last one. One would think that for the patients having surgery, they would at least have a somewhat more isolated or at least dedicated area. I have been through this with my wife numerous times over the years with a different Mohs surgeon. She never had to leave the room where the surgery was taking place. It almost always took about 15 to 20 minutes in-between the amount of excisions necessary. We found it interesting that we were told that the pathology determination usually takes a long time. I think that Dr. Pearlman and his team are very competent however, when comparing the entire experience where my wife has gone, I would definitely prefer to go to where she goes.
Excellent in all areas
Very good and confidence inspiring. Carefully explains what he is doing.
Kind and friendly. Competent and professional .
Very thorough and answered all my questions.
Very professional and efficient service.
Listened to concerns, creative with solutions, relatively pain free and great follow-up
Very satisfied with procedure.
My experience with Dr Pearlman was truly excellent. He is superb at what he does. He is also kind, personable, and a great communicator. Highly recommended.
Dr Ross was great and so was Marilyn. Let’s hope all heals well. Thank you!
Dr. Pearlman has great bedside manners. I was nervous about the procedure, and he explained everything to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to see him again if needed. I would recommend him to family and friends without hesitation. Thank you,

My experience here was awesome!
It was a good experience. I really appreciated the follow up call I received from the Doctor the following morning.
Very professional with a calming demeanor. I just found my new dermatologist
Dr Pearlman is excellent . My treatment was absolutely first class.
Very professional. Also got a follow up call to check on me.
Dr. Pearlman and his staff were great, fast and efficient. The only criticism I have is that the bandaging approach didn't hold up. I needed to rebandage by the end of the day.
I highly recommend Dr. Pearlman. He was recommended by my primary dermatologist for some surgery I needed. From the moment I arrived at the office, I felt like I was in really good hands. Dr. Perlman‘s nurse, Marilyn, was excellent in explaining what was going to happen and preparing me for the procedure in advance of meeting Dr. Pearlman. He also explained everything in detail as he went through the process and made me very comfortable throughout. He explained the steps involved and at the end of the procedure, sent me elsewhere for plastic surgery. While it was a stressful morning, Dr. Pearlman and his staff did everything possible to make things comfortable and understandable. He even followed up the next day and we had a good conversation about how things went and what’s to be expected going forward. That follow up was fantastic. I highly recommend him to anyone who has the need to see a dermatologist for surgery.
A difficult procedure was done well with care and expertise.
Dr. Pearlman was fantastic...engaging, professional and willing to explain what was going on with the procedure. And Howie was great too!
Great, explained all! Very professional!!
Very knowledgeable, approachable and patient.
Dr. Pearlman was very friendly and made my visit comfortable and pleasant. I will definitely continue to see him in the future, and would recommend others to him.
