Dr. Daniel Perez Cares for Us Constantly So That We Haven't Had a "Moment"
We understand, per your request, that you are seeking important, dramatic stories about amazing MDVIP doctors who have saved their patients’ lives. We hesitated to submit our story because neither of us, a healthy married couple in our mid 50s, can point to one "moment" when Dr. Daniel Perez, our MDVIP doctor, swooped in to save the day. Then, we realized, the quiet everyday heroism of Dr. Perez and his staff is not only worthy of recognition but also the point of it all.
Since we moved to South Florida five years ago, Dr. Perez has been our physician. Regardless of our needs – from the referrals for potentially serious issues to the mundane calling in prescriptions to our pharmacy, he is ALWAYS there. Dr. Perez makes sure we get our annual physicals. Dr Perez makes sure we prioritize sitting with him to go through the results. He has never rushed us and our appointments end when WE are finished. He knows our family health histories and keeps them in mind every team he treats us. We have switched insurance several times and his staff always help us sort out the details – sometimes spending hours. He makes sure his office is staffed with lovely capable professionals – especially his exceptional nurse, Angie, upon whom we can always depend.
When I suffered from a mysterious but uncomfortable orthopedic injury, he never questioned the validity of my injury and referred me to the best doctors until we found the one who could diagnose. When I had to go to the emergency room for a stomach issue, he called before, during and after to comfort me and facilitate my treatment. When my husband changed his diet, Dr. Perez made sure it was safe. When either of us text him (even on weekends) with a question; an issue; even a refill for the ear drops I need when I get occasional ear infections – he responds immediately. When we can’t get timely appointments for specialists, he calls and makes sure we are seen. And he always makes sure to retrieve reports timely – either from imagining centers or other physicians to either notify us or to advise further.
We could go on but are hopeful we have conveyed how much we value Dr. Perez. He truly makes us feel like we matter. And did we mention that he has the kindest and most positive bedside manner? One day, we may have our life and death moment when Dr. Perez will need to intervene in a Herculean way. We have no doubt he will be there to save us with the same care, passion, and expertise he demonstrates daily.
