Dr. Amy Perlmutter is a complete joke! I left her office feeling like my time was wasted. \r
\r
I don't usually write reviews, but after an awful experience with this physician I felt compelled to warn other patients. The purpose of my visit to Dr. Amy Perlmutter was to start the Accutane program that was recommended by a highly regarded skin care expert, Dr. Zein Obagi. His office is in Beverly Hills, CA .... but I live in New York. In order to take Accutane you have to see a dermatologist every month, and have blood work done in order to get your prescription. I decided that it would be easier to find a local physician in New York instead of flying to California every month. I found Dr. Amy Perlmutter on Cigna's physician referral list. \r
\r
I have been to some of the best dermatologists in the world including Dr. Frederick Brandt and Dr. Zein Obagi, so I am familiar with how a thorough skin care examination should be done. Dr. Amy Perlmutter barely glanced at my face before telling me that she did not recommend Accutane for me. She didn't even shine any light on my face to illuminate the skin for a close inspection, or use any magnifying devices to thoroughly examine my skin. She also didn't look at my back or inquire if I had Acne anywhere else on my body. If she would have taken the time to do a complete and thorough examination, she would have discovered that I have Acne all over my back. I also have overactive sebaceous glands, which she made absolutely no mention of. That was why Dr. Obagi recommended Accutane for me in the first place. \r
\r
I was completely disgusted by her subpar examination. She took a quick glance and immediately disregarded the recommendation of a highly regarded skin care expert with twice as much experience as her. She then suggested that I try Retin-A to clear up the acne that was causing hyperpigmentation. I explained to her that I was already using 1% Retin-A and had been doing so for years. I was still having breakouts! If Retin-A was the solution to my problem then I wouldn't have been in her office! \r
\r
I explained to her that I previously completed a cycle of Accutane with excellent results and that I wanted to follow Dr. Obagi's recommendation for another cycle of Accutane. She then went on to say that my skin looked great and that she would not be prescribing Accutane. Newsflash! Do you really think I would be in her office if my skin looked great? My skin is blotchy and uneven from breakouts. Every time I have a breakout it leaves dark spots on my skin. It so uneven that I sleep in makeup when I have a nightcap. I wouldn't be caught dead anywhere without makeup on! \r
\r
She then went on to recommend a Glycolic peel for my hyperpigmentation. I asked her about a ""TCA"" peel, and she said that was too strong for my skin. She went on to say that a TCA Peel would definitely cause more hyperpigmentation. I told her flat out that she did NOT know what she was talking about! I use to get 20% TCA Peels every month a few years ago and that was the best my skin has ever looked! The ""TCA"" peels got rid of my hyperpigmentation, and my skin was flawless. I use to get so many compliments when I was getting TCA peels regularly.\r
\r
Recommending an over the counter ""Glycolic peel"" without treating the underlying skin condition that is causing hyperpigmentation is a complete and utter joke! The hyperpigmentation will continue to return no matter how many peels I have if I don't stop the acne. This is where accutane comes in, as it gets rid of the acne. No acne = No hyperpigmntation for me. There is a reason why Dr. Zein Obagi has one of the most successful skin care lines, and is a highly regarded expert in skin care. It's because he knows what he is talking about. He has been practicing for over 35 years compared to Dr. Amy Perlmutter's 3 \r
years.\r
