When you begin searching for a dermatologist, you might find yourself quickly overwhelmed with options. Many physicians are primarily focused on cosmetic procedures, but what if you need a dermatologist who treats only medical skin conditions? Dermatologist Dr. Anthony J. Perri's interest in dermatology began when an early diagnosis of melanoma saved his father's life.
He knows firsthand how important providing timely quality service is to your health, which is why he's built his practice with added flexibility for your schedule and a focus on understanding your needs. Additionally, Dr. Perri is Texas raised and Texas trained, so you'll always feel at home in his care.

Services
After seeing how a routine skin cancer exam saved his father's life from deadly melanoma, Dr. Perri decided to become a Dermatologist and attended medical school in Texas - the same state where he was raised. Combining his education with his well-rounded background makes him the highly skilled and compassionate physician that he is today.

When a skin cancer biopsy returns positive for cancer, the news can feel devastating. The incidence of melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, has steadily risen over the past ten years. Yet when caught early and treated properly, patients have an excellent prognosis for a full recovery with minimal discomfort.
While basal and squamous cell cancer must be treated, melanoma is known as the silent killer because most people dismiss or do not recognize the first signs of melanoma. Patients who recognize a suspicious mole should go for a skin exam to get a diagnosis and possibly a skin cancer biopsy. Every patient should come in for an annual skin check to ensure that there are no suspicious moles that go untested.

Bad experience with this doctor. He took less than 3 minutes with us, and I didn't have time to ask questions, he was in a rush. The nurse that came with him was very rude to us, she got very impatience bc I didn't quickly provide her with the pharmacy number. She was very rude from the beginning, couldn't ask her questions, and I paid for the consultation. Won't comeback again!

Visited a total of 3 times over 2 years. Always felt like Dr. Perri was rushing the exam and not being thorough. Certainly not questioning qualifications, however very disturbing experience and will not return. I know I'm not being unreasonable because the new Dermatologist i see takes their time and thoroughly explains everything.

It's been a year since going to my visit. My next appt is coming up next week, but I will be canceling because the latest reviews voice the same concerns I had last year. My experience last year was rushed to say the least. He had zero time, in the 30 seconds he was in the room to answer any questions. When he was walking out the door after "completing" his assessment, I had to point out a freckle I was concerned about, he came back for 2 more seconds, looked at it, said it needed to be removed... he removed it and walked out.. no explanation, no comforting, nothing. The nurse told me, also in

Can’t imagine getting worse service from a doctor. Dr. Perri spends about 30 seconds with you when you go in for an appointment and you spend your time with a nurse or PA for everything. And we can’t ever really get any help on the phone when we want to talk to a nurse either. They’re dismissive of our concerns and don’t offer any real solutions. This is not a review made in anger. This is a result of being ignored and receiving a really poor standard of care over several years. We’re looking for another doctor and would suggest others look elsewhere.

I had a melanoma last June that Dr Perri did not check to see if the margins were clear. I now have another melanoma a year later, and I can assure you I am not going to him at this point. He is not only fast, he is not thorough. He also told me I had allergies rather than eczema. After extensive, unpleasant allergy testing, there were no allergies, it was in fact, eczema. Eczema should be Dermatology 101. I would NEVER depend on Dr. Perri again.

Office staff was nice, but Dr. Perri spent less than 2 minutes combined with my mother and I. We have a pretty serious and odd skin condition and my mom has it much worse than i do. Dr. Perri did NOT give me or her any time to explain what our problems were, from the moment he stepped into the room he was trying to leave. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

I called Dr. Perri's office 2 days ago as a new patient. I was having skin issues and wanted to seek a physician's advice. The receptionist was very rude and very dismissive. She asked me to describe my symptoms. Upon doing so, she said, "Dr. Perri does not treat vitiligo". I asked her if she just diagnosed my issue over the phone as a front office staff?! She then hung up on me. I called back to find out who this rude & inappropriate woman was. They pretended to not know what I was talking about.
I ended up calling Dr. Stephen Mahoney (Dermatologist Specialist) who

The office staff is very rude and unprofessional, the insurance billing department does not know how to bill insurance correctly or know how to verify insurance benefits correctly. When I had my insurance company and the supervisor Mary from Perri Dermatology on the phone together, Mary got rude when the insurance company backed me up so she hung up on us. Never made it to see the doctor, but if he is anything like his staff then I did not miss much.

Terrible experience. The front desk is sitting there like a bunch of crows on a power line. Miserable. The assistant came to take me to the exam, vanilla, plain, zero personality, no interest in me. Asked the basic questions from her list in monotone. Goes to get Dr.
he walks in like Spicoli, hey Bro attitude, looked at my scalp diagnosed and reached for his freeze gun before I even understood what he was telling me. Had no time for exam, no time for explanation, literally grabbed the freeze gun before I could answer yes or no. I let him freeze a precancerous on my scalp and he was gone. I have

Not only am I a new patient to Perri Dermatology but also a new resident to the area. I read reviews before choosing this office for my dermatology needs but still didn’t really know what to expect. I can gladly say my first impression and experience here was nothing short of amazing. I was fully prepared for a lengthly wait but to my surprise my entire visit from check in to check out took about 45 min. (Some reviews I’ve read here did not like the “speediness” of the office but in my case I greatly appreciated it. It is definitely a busy mom’s dream come true. I did not feel rushed

Awful Service, my hairline was receding, scalp itchy sometimes almost burning sensation. I thought I was experiencing male pattern baldness or the possibility of a ringworm. Dr. Perri came in ask a few questions NEVER touched my scalp made a visual assessment that perhaps I should change shampoo...make certain to wear loosen hair styles and perhaps come back if those suggestions did not make a difference.
Six months later the condition worsened hairline was more recessed. I knew something serious had to be was wrong however, I could not bring myself to return to a doctor that barely spent 5 minutes

I have been going to Dr. Perri's office for about 3 years for general acne and we have the same routine: come to the office, pay for the office visit, get my blood drawn then the office sends an RX to my pharmacy. This happens twice a year. There is nothing exceptional about the location or the staff; I feel like I'm just a number when checking in or paying at the window.The staff does not smile and their tone is unfriendly. I'm really surprised since the waiting room is alway packed.
Now to the experience that made me leave Dr. Perri for good. Two weeks before my next visit with

I saw Dr Perri for years thinking every thing was okay he removed a couple of hot spots but I kept nagging about one on the back of my leg. He said it was a scar but after three years of it hurting and bothering me I asked him to biopsy it anyway. After telling me " okay you have been complaining about it for years anyway" he did and it came back cancerous and now I have a four inch scar that a plastic surgeon did his best to keep minimized but it was deep and long. I once gave this office a good review I now regret it. Dr Perri never even called me the nurse did. I am very disappointed
