Perlewitz Thomas J MD

For the past 2-1/2 years, I’ve been under the care of Dr Perlewitz. I had two herniated discs, L4 and L5. During a visit, I had complained of left hip pain and locking. Because I was due for an updated MRI on my back after 6 months of PT, Dr Perlewitz also ordered an MRI for my hip as well. The findings were that I had tendinitis, 3 bone spurs and a torn labrum in my hip. Other doctors in the past had never ordered any tests for my hip when I complained of the same thing. I had hip surgery with Dr Pifel to repair everything in hopes that it would help my back pain. Unfortunately, my back continued to cause issues. On April 25th, I had a laminectomy on those discs. They also found that my spinal stenosis was quite a bit worse than tests had originally shown and my nerve sac was attached to my ligament in several areas. Today is 7/12 and I’ve been completely released from Dr Perlewitz’s care and PT. During the entire time, Katelyn, the surgical coordinator, took her time to listen and made sure everything was a smooth process. I felt very cared for on a personal level. At my appts, I may not have seen Dr Perlewitz every time but I know that he was kept apprised of my progress from the entire team. Adam and Nick, his PAs were amazing as well. I couldn’t recommend The Ortho Institute of Wisconsin enough if anyone needs some type of ortho surgery. Dr Pifel’s team was amazing as well. They are all definitely the best in the business!

I received a referral for Dr. Perlewitz from a family friend who had an amazing experience with a major back surgery. I came to Dr. Perlewitz with shoulder pain, that was actually an issue with my cervical spine. The Dr. along with his staff were so professional, patient and kind when it came to scheduling appointments and surgery. Everything was thoroughly explained to me and I felt extremely confident going in for the cervical fusion. The hospital staff did an amazing job and I felt right at home.
