I have only had positive experiences with Dr. Pearman. She's professional, warm, and efficient. When I've been worried about an aspect of my symptoms or condition, she's been empathic and patiently answered all of my questions. I'm so grateful for her and her office staff. read more

The office receptionist seemed as though patients were a burden to deal with. Slightly rude but more aggravated that she had to do something. She may have been just having a bad day, who knows? Everyone has those days. I try to remember this when people aren't very pleasant to deal with. Sometimes, though, your job requires you to put yourself aside and deal with your clients/ patients with respect, understanding and empathy for their situation. Things only got worse.The doctor was very rude, inconsiderate, condescending and unsympathetic. I had very painful ingrown nails, not swollen or anything, just painful. She immediately came in, very aggressively, and started telling me what she was going to do, as she was doing it. No introductions. Proceeded to dig deep into my toe as though I had no feeling at all in my foot. No numbing (she said that was saved for surgery), just dug in. Of course I yelled out, it hurt, she gave me a look like I was an idiot. Then said my only other option was permanent nail removal. I was shocked because i never considered that as a treatment. She proceeded to leave the room and said to call back when I made a decision. Oh how I wish I would have walked out and gotten another opinion! She's a doctor, so I took her advice and had her remove them. I wanted the pain gone. She, of course, was not gentle with the numbing process. I took the bandages off the next day, as directed for cleaning. She butchered my toes! The cuticles and more flesh has been cut off. There is a deep slice in my nail bed. I expected it to look bad but this is way more. I got on the internet to make sure I wasn't over reacting and found there are many other options than removal. I am devastated! I've never had great self esteem but now when I look at my feet I am completely ashamed and embarrassed. I do NOT recommend going to this woman. She is rude, non empathetic, non informative and generally an over all jerk. I can not believe she is still practicing. If she did me like this, how is she treating the patients that can't speak out for themselves?? Shes horrible! I can't speak for the other doctors at Southwest Podiatry but this was my worst ever doctor visit. I'm afraid to go back for my follow up. Oh why, Oh why didn't I just leave and go somewhere else?! I honestly don't want to go back. The fear is real people, no joke. Now I'm scarred for life physically and emotionally. I would give zero stars if that was an option. read more
