Dr. Pearl is wonderful!! Very thankful to have someone familiar with my condition to help me.
Dr. Pearl has this calming effect when discussing my concerns. He listened first. After listening to me, he then described all my concerns such as past, present and future. He asked how I felt about the heart monitor. He asked how I felt about each of my individual concerns. He asked what I thought helped me and what didn't. He then told me what he diagnosed me with and how he planned to go about helping to solve my problems. He also explained what my responsibilities are to solve the problems. He and I spoke and at the end of the session, he sat back and asked if I had any questions, remarks, input in my treatment plan. Needless to say, I have been assigned the BEST Cardiology physician. Thank you Ochsner

Great and relaxing.
It was a good visit
Very Good
We switched to Dr Pearl from another cardiologist who had a terrible bedside manner & seemed very disinterested in my father.We are so glad we switched to Dr Pearl. He took the time to LISTEN to us and addressed all our concerns, helping to refer us to other disciplines which was needed. He never rushed us & seems to genuinely care. He has a wonderful bedside manner & is a wonderful physician!!
