Donald Perry, MD

"We’re off to a good start: it was an easy process to make my first appointment, the receptionist was patient, thorough, and very professional. The wait time was short and Dr Perry gave a quick yet honest assessment of the issue after speaking (and listening) to me about my concern. That alone warrants 5 stars!"

"I was hesitant before my appointment due to some of the reviews i read beforehand. Now, after my appointment, I’m honestly confused by anything but the positive. Dr. Perry was thorough in explaining options and what to expect with each. He answered my questions and took his time to make sure I was comfortable in my decision. I had to bring my kids with me and he was kind and understanding. He interacted and joked around with them. 10 out of 10 would recommend."

"I have been seeing Dr. Perry for over ten years. I want to preface this with the fact that I am in my 30s now and first saw him ten years ago. I state this because people frequently associate orthopedics with geriatric patients, especially here in Florida. If I had been older and wiser after my first visit I would have looked for a different doctor. He’s continued to take on too many patients, you can’t get an appointment as an existing patient in a timely manner even if it’s a post-op emergency on a surgery he performed. He doesn’t take time with his patients anymore. His caseload is too large. I’m telling you I would keep looking and find someone else. I know I am."

"Dr. Perry has replaced my husband’s knee, and performed surgery on my fractured wrist. Felt both experiences went well. I took a really hard fall a week ago. Ended up in the ER with an Elbow Dislocation and Radial Head Fracture. Along with several other bumps; bruising; etc.. The ER doctor stabilized the dislocation. They sent me home with 9 pain pills for 3 days. Assuming, I would be seeing Dr.Perry on Monday. He was not able to see me until Thursday. So I waited for him…He spent less than 5 minutes with us. I truly need some one to explain my situation better. I have had the worst pain with this mess. Moreover than any other thing injury I have ever had. To the extent I am crying at night. I was attempting to talk to Dr. Perry, as he was literally running out the door. He had an emergency surgery I understand that things happen- But he never took care of the situation. Called the office. Again, told it would be handled. Nothing… I do not want to spend the time, money or energy at the ER. Our funds are limited. We gave twin teenagers and my husband has cancer. I do understand all the rules and regulations surrounding opioids. Yes, we have an “Opioid Crisis “…My husband was the CEO for several rehabilitation centers. Sometimes pain medication is necessary . Everyone interprets pain differently. I am not a drug abuser. I am someone with a pain level of 10. Still trying to take care of our family. I will not return to Waterman ER. Will utilize Orlando ER. Now seeking recommendations for an orthopedic surgeon ."

"This doctor needs to be doctor of the year. I have been in this state 4 years and all the doctors I have seen from different pcp, different specialists etc he has been the only one who understood my left shoulder pain and knows what he is doing. He is very blunt and professional. I highly recommend him. Dr. Perry Thank you for the shot- my shoulder is no longer hurting. And his staff is very patient and very professional as well."
