Dr. Robert Perry followup

My family has been seeing Dr. Perry for almost as long as he has been in practice. Our prayers are with you during your times of trouble. Mary Withrow

My family have been patients of Dr. Perry's since he opened his practice on Military Cutoff. I have never known Dr. Perry to be anything less than professional at all times. He is without a doubt the most brilliant, caring, professional doctor I have ever known, and believe me we have known & seen quite a few. As far as I am concerned, if you had to wait to be seen - then that's a small price to pay for superior service. If he is delayed - its because he takes a personal interest in each and every one of his patients, he takes the time to listen to you. How many doctor's truly do that? In this day & age, dr's make you wait endlessly, see you for 5 minutes & slap you with a large bill, with a see you later attitude. I'll wait as long as need be to be treated as a person should.

Furthermore, I will point out that during Hurricane Fran - Dr. Perry opened his office to all and treated anyone who came through his office free of charge. He was there because he cared not because he was interested in getting rich. From my own personal experience, Dr. Perry on a Sunday and coming directly from the airport (as he had been out of town), met me & my family and treated my son (3 yrs old at the time) as he had very high fever and was very ill. This is the kind of care this doctor gives and I will stand beside him no matter what.

I do not believe for a second that he would have written illegal prescriptions nor do I believe that he would behave inappropriate with anyone. Ladies & gentlemen - let's not forget that a person is Innocent until proven otherwise. Who would you believe an esteem doctor and member of our community or a stripper from Pure Gold who makes a living by displaying her body for hard cold cash! She is so transparent - it is obvious she is looking to keep herself out of jail (people --she was the one writing the scripts & forging his signature)by giving the DA our precious doctor by feeding them lies, she gets to walk & laugh it up. SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL not Dr. Perry!!

What a low life. I feel sorry for the people who trusted him because when he goes to trial (and he will) these people are going to learn of his preverted behavior which had a direct link to him surrendering his license. You can't trust anyone. Humans are capable of anything. Later, Dirt Bag!

I used to work for dr perry. While he was a great doctor he was not the perfect person, but who is. There was many a time that he did things that were unethical but he did take care of his patients. I know of the girl who took the prescription pads but I do not think it is the same that turned him in. I feel bad for him but he knew better than to do what he did, even if he was being compassionate. Although appointments started at 9 he normally didn't get there until 9:30, sometimes later. We would double book sometimes and give each appointment only 15 minutes. He normally spent 30 minutes or more with each patient which led to the long waits. Then if one of his "special" friends was sick they would come in the back door receiving precedence over the rest of the patients. He was really moody and not exactly a great person to work for. Actually he was the worst but at least he tried to take care of his patients. And just so you know, he was VERY interested in making money, but who isn't.
Best of luck to you dr perry, I just hope you get everything together and really run the best practice in town.

Dr. Perry saved my children's lives. I had gone to other doctors and they were unable to diagnose the problem on different occasions. Dr. Perry knew exactly what to do and even called me during the evenings to be sure they were improving. I trusted him then and I trust him now. This man has been through alot but has always put his patients first. Like many other things in the media, they have to emphasize the negative. He made a bad choice to be involved with this person but more than likely felt he could help her. Once again he showed that he cared for others first. He has never had the "high and mighty" attitude like most doctors. He is real and will tell you the truth. He was not in pratice to get rich - just to help those who needed it most. From being available when you needed him to providing samples of needed medication for those that could not afford it, he really practiced for the right reasons.Thank you for your wonderful care and My prayers are with you Dr. Perry.

To all the doctors who read the responses from Dr.Perry's patients, i ask that if you can lend him a helping hand so that he will have a practice to come back to after he is cleared of any wrong doing.
I know that all dr's who ever have a problem of any kind and need a hand that they can count on their peers to help.
As his patient for many years, please help him
HE WOULD BE THERE FOR YOU.....
Thank You

Since moving to Wilmington in 2000, it has been my good fortune to be a patient of Dr. Perry. As a senior citizen with Diabetes, high blood pressure, osteo arthritis and recent heart surgery, my experiences of 68 years and numerous doctors rate MY FAMILY DOCTOR, Dr Perry as the first choice health provider for myself, family and friends. I pray to God that we continue to receive the care that this great doctor provides.
Nick, Sandra and family

As my family physician for 10 years, I can say he is the finest Doctor I have ever known. He had answers and he gave you direction for treatment-unlike many other doctors who take your money and your symptoms never improve.
He honestly cared for the health of his patients and he took my family's health seriously every visit for ten years! When we left his office, we knew what the problem was and how to feel better-every time.

It seems a shame to have to turn in his license for being victim to dishonest personal misfortune. Who has not trusted somebody-that was unworthy? I found Doctor Perry to be highly ethical; not for an instant, after this story surfaced, did I believe he intentionally did this; and I do seriously doubt there will be evidence to support he is guilty of any unethical practice; maybe guilty of being humane and trusting, that is all. He is human, therefore, he, like all of us, can misjudge and misplace trust. Too bad he ran into such a horrible, dispicable lady, who would calculate and plan with intention to harm our talented physician who gave so much to his patients. The Doctor Perry I know, would have never supported anybody doing anything as I have read; the real facts will be verified in the future, no doubt.

Unfortunately, my family and I have lost a fine Doctor who knew medicine and knew how to treat patients. The medical board will surely translate some real truth form these allegations, in the end; so we can get our physician back home caring for our families and children as soon as possible. A wise board would see through all of this, and get our Doctor back to work-doing what he does better than most Doctors in town.

I'll never forget the compassion Doctor Perry showed me- a single mom of three about 13 years ago.
My 3 year old daughter had been bitten on the face by a dog & I was rushing her to a hospital to get treatment. On the way, I saw this sign on Military Cut off- PEE DEE Clinic. It was after 6:00 PM, but I was desperate to find a doctor, so I took my chances, hoping the clinic was still open. I banged on the door & started to leave...assuming the office was closed. As I was leaving, I saw this man waving at me, to come back. It was Doctor Perry. His office WAS closed, but he agreed to look at my bleeding daughter.

After examining the wound on her mouth, Dr. Perry, said he could easily stitch her up, but he wasn't about to touch that gorgeous face & be accused of "ruining her modeling career". He then proceeded to arrange for a top plastic surgeon to meet us at the hospital & have her face sewn up.

Later that night, Dr. Perry called to see how my daughter was doing. He NEVER charged us for that visit. He has been our doctor ever since that day. Ironically, my 17 year old daughter IS a model- she has a 5 year contract with a top NYC agency & I am so thankful for his wise choice to get a speacialist...13 years ago.

He is a good man...a flawed man, but a good man. I (nor you) are no better, no worse than this man. We all make poor choices. Some of those choices are toxic...let's get rid of the poison & get Dr. Perry back to business!

I am so saddened to see what is happening to this wonderful physician. I could give another testimonial to him as well as all the others have. A few years ago my husband was suffering from an awful ear infection. We went to Cape Fear ER at 2am just to be given strong pain pills and ear drops. Needless to say, the meds. didn't work, and when I called the ER again to see if they could do anything more for him, they would not.
Called Dr. Perry, his receptionist said "Come on in". Come to find out he had the worst ear infection Dr. Perry said he'd ever seen on a grown man. Dr. Perry gave him the right meds and he was out of pain in 1 hr and on the mend. The man is a genius, sort of like Wilmington's own "Dr. House".
I'm behind you Dr.Perry 100%!

Dr. Perry is one of the best people I have every met and certainly the best doctor. He is caring and gives each patient personal attention. Never are you rushed out because of a crowded waiting room (and it was always crowded). He treats my whole family and we think the world of him. I hope to be in his office again soon, getting the excellent medical treatment from him as I always have. Dr. Perry, we love you, respect you, and want you back now!

Just found out about this. Comments submitted seem to indicate he is gone. Dr. Perry is inocent until proven guilty.
He has been my doctor since 1996 and has become a trusted confidant, doctor and consider him a friend that I would do anything for.
He is an excellent doctor and certainly loved and respected by all. When you are with him he makes you feel you are his only patient and never rushes with your care. Cell phone available all the time. Not many like him out there believe me.
When he told me of my lung cancer two years ago he was in tears. I was okay with it and doing well two years later. The compassion of a doctor crying and caring is so rare and I and all of us are blessed to have been treated by him and know he will be exonerated and back practicing soon. God love you Bob and hurry back to your practice, too many people rely on you and love you.

The girl from UNCW was correct. Dr. Perry was involved with a girl who was trouble. She stole 3 prescription pads from him, kept getting narcotics filled and selling them. Then after Dr. Perry turned her in a little while later she wanted to get back at him and called him with a sob story about her dad. He felt sorry for her which any good human would and tried to help. He wrote one prescription for her ailing father and then she laughed all the way to the police station because she had her stripper revenge. Just one crazy girl that Dr. Perry was unlucky enough to get involved with. Its crazy that a person like that, whom should have no credibility whatsoever in the eyes of the law, can absolutely ruin a good man's life. Its a pathetic example of our media and justice systems in this state. The girl from UNCW should release her name on here and let her get the wrath she deserves. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!!

Not long after I moved to Wilmington and had gone to a few other doctors for treatment I found doctor Perry. I wasn't sure the first time I went to his office but after the visit and talking with him I was impressed enough to keep him as my doctor. My daughter, grandkids,husband he was all of our doctor and we trusted him and loved him. My company changed insurance last year and he is not on my insurance so I saw another doctor how disappointing. My daughter works for the same company she was heartbroken for her children but doctor Perry who had seen them since infants only charged her for the deductible the old insurance was he gave up the rest of his fee. How many doctors would care enough to do that? My husband passed away from cancer. Dr Perry was there for him to talk to help get him to the right doctors and was there for me after I lost him. I hope he comes back everyone is right he will truly be missed by all of his patients. All that know you love you dr Perry hang in there.

DR.PERRY HAS BEEN MY FAMILY DOCTOR FOR YEARS HE SAVED MY MOTHER LIFE SHE WENT INTO HIS OFFICE B/C SHE DIDN'T FEEL WELL UPON DR.PERRY CHECKING HER OUT HE REALIZED SHE WAS SUFFERING FROM A HEART ATTACK HE JUMPED INTO ACTION HE CALL THE AMBULANCE AND THE CARDILOGIST AND MY MOTHER IS HERE TODAY DUE TO DR.PERRY . SO I'M SO TIRED OF PEOPLE AND THE MEDIA TRASHING THIS MAN . YES THEY SHOULD RELEASE THE NAME OF THIS WOMAN WHO STOLE HIS PRESCRIPTION PAD AND SHE SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND NOT DR.PERRY . THIS IS A REAL SHAME SOME PEOPLE ARE ON HERE BASHING HIM AND HIS ABLILITES AS A DOCTOR THE MEDICAL FIELD HAS LOST A VERY GOOD DOCTOR AND ONCE THEY FIND DOCTOR PERRY INOCENT OF ALL CHARGES I PRAY AND HOPE HE COMES BACK TO WORK SO ALL HIS PATIENTS CAN COME BACK TO HIM . I KNOW MY FAMILY AND MY PARENTS WILL GO BACK TO HIM. I HOPE DR.PERRY IS ABLE TO SEE ALL THE COMMENTS THAT ARE POSITIVE ABOUT HIM .AND KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE PULLING FOR HIM AND KNOW THAT HE'S A GOOD PERSON AND A AWSOME DOCTOR.

Dr. Robert Perry is without a single doubt one of the finest doctors this town has to offer. From the moment we first came here in 1996 we have been thankful to have found this man. Dr. Perry diagnosed my toddler's pneumonia less than 8 hours after it was missed by the emergency room of NHRM. Dr. Perry cared for my Grandmother until her death several years ago. We stand behind this man who has done so very much for everyone he has come into contact with. I cannot even begin to count the times Dr. Perry has given us antibiotic samples becase he knew I was a single struggling mother with no health coverage. "Dr. Bob" has ALWAYS been there for us and if he has been there for you and your family please feel free to contact me as NOW WE NEED TO BEE THERE FOR HIM! I will be posting on Craigs list under the Forums Section!

Dr. Perry, like everyone else, is an imperfect human being and perhaps a bit more flawed than some people, but no one can question his competency and bedside manner as a doctor. His humor and genuine compassion for his patients are unprecedented, in my personal opinion, which is why he has been my son's pediatrician for the last seven years. He is also my doctor. In the wee hours of one morning five years ago, I woke up with a terrifying headache like no other I had ever had. I was scared because I knew it was serious, so I called Dr. Perry at five in the morning describing my symptoms. He called something in for me at my pharmacy and told me to go to the ER if the symptoms didn't improve. They did, and I was grateful to this doctor who made himself available to me through his cell phone at the crack of dawn. How many people can say they have a doctor like this one? Not many. I know he has a kind of crazy personal life, but a man should not lose his entire career for one lapse in judgement, if it's even true. Too many people rely on him. His sense of humor and caring are just as much the antidote to what ails us as is the medicine he prescribes. I hope he is reading these posts so that he knows he is supported and that most of us have not rushed to judgment. A case that comes to mind is the Duke LaCrosse players. Everyone instantly convicted these guys when all along it was the woman who had fabricated the events. Withhold judgment until all the facts are revealed. Dr. Perry: Hang Tough!!

DR. PERRY IS A LOW DOWN SCUM AND SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING EVER! MY FRIEND WAS A VICTIM OF HIS, DR. PERRY PERSCRIBE WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION TO MY FRIEND AND ACNE MEDICATION KEEP IN MIND THAT MY FRIEND IS ALREADY SKINNY AND WEIGHS 130LBS. DR. PERRY SABBOTAGE MY FRIEND TEETH ON A PROCEDURE BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE SEX WITH HIM THEN HE THREAT HER IF SHE TOOK LEGAL ACTION ON HIS MALPRACTICE AND NEGLIGENCE. THIS MAN PREYS ON YOUNG WOMAN AND NEEDS TO BE BEHIND BARS AND THEY NEED TO THROW AWAY THE KEY.

Dr. Perry was and still is an AMAZING doctor. and until he is found guilty of anything he is innocent. I have been doing to him for about 12 years now, and if his practice does not reopen I will be devastated. He is one of the most caring doctors, and even though there was always a wait, it was well worth it. Anytime you needed anything, even if the office was closed he was always willing to help. You all should not be judging him when you do not know what actually happened, and the circumstances surrounding all of this.

I was in Dr. Perry's office one day with my child and saw an officer waiting near the check out desk. When Dr. Perry came in to see us, he apologized for the wait. He told us that one of his employees had stolen his prescription pad and had gone to several counties, filling prescriptions for drugs that he never prescribes, before he received a call from one of the pharmacies. Apparently she had been practicing his signature so that she could do this for a while.
Now, many months later I hear this story and wonder if this is the same woman. It makes no sense to me why he would call the cops on her if he was the one that was guilty. Something seems really strange about all of this.
I've always had such a good feeling about Dr. Perry. I think he has touched the lives of many of his patients around Wilmington. I like many others that have commented have the up most respect for him and all that he has done for my family. He will truely be missed by my child. I'm sure I'll never find another doctor like him.

he shouldnt of done it but oh well he did so he has to pay the price where is the woman envolved she needs to do hard time clowns

DR Perry was a good doctor. He cured you and thats all that matters.

DR. Perry Was and still is and a great person he was a very good doctor he listen to his patients and he truely cared for his patent's he took extra time to listening to his patient's on what was hurting them if we had more doctors that would just listen to the patients we wouldn't have so many mis diagnosis .they would know what ales them doctors around the area just don,t want to listen they give you meds that don't help and your back in there office 2 weeks later with the same thing. and they can 't explain why the treatment didn't work b/c you were not listening!!!!! the woman that put him in the situation her name isn't being realeased ,but any who reads this can sit back and write about a really good doctor & friend negatively we don't know all the facts your passing judgement on person all ready . i personally will pray for him and when this is all over and he gets better from his health problems i hope he will open his practice again b/c there are a lot of patients wanting to see him come back b/c he was a great doctor. may god bless him through this time.

I am so happy to see that this man is no longer allowed to practice medicine or have a clinic. When I first arrived in Wilmington in 2003 I chose him as my childrens pediatrician. First we waited in his office for hours on end because he double booked all his patients times 3, then no matter what was wrog with my children he gave tehm loads of medications that I did not feel was neccessary. We would go for a yearly checkup and he would tell me oh they need to take this and this and precsribe loads of medicine and give me bags of samples. After six months under his care I went running adn obviously with good cause... Thank goodness this man has been stopped.
