I H-A-T-E going to see doctors of any kind. Who doesn't, really? So when I needed to figure out what the heck was up with this itchy rash I had, you can imagine how thrilled I was to make an appointment! I went to see Dr. Pearlman based on the reviews here on yelp since I'm not from the area and had NO idea where to go.
Thank God I did! Unlike other doctors I've seen in the past, Dr. Pearlman isn't all harried and aloof. He actually encourages you to talk things out and stops to ask/ receive questions like ten times to make sure your brain is fresh out before he tells you what he thinks should happen.
To add to his obvious professionalism, he's actually a pretty cool guy! He gets you to open up and feel comfortable so that your examination doesn't make you feel like some icky lab rat with a growth, lol. I definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a quality physician.
This is the Best Derm Hands Down.......and the staff is the friendliest Ive ever encountered.
I started seeing Dr Pearlman for about 8 months now, he helped me get rid of a rash on my hands legs and arms that i got from my hockey equipment. This guy listens, and then asks many questions to determine a solution to your problem. He honestly reminds me of Dr house from the TV. show, but really happy and always in a cheerful mood.lol
I am currently seeing him for acne on my face and the sides of my mouth. I know I am in good hands and he will find a way to cure this problem for me.
LOL hate to burst your bubble Nouls S. but i was late for my first app. and i called them and they let me come. I don't know what to tell you maybe you were rude to them or something but i have had a great experience with Pearlman Family Dermatology. But Don't be late, this Dr is really busy and i don't know if he is seeing new patients, but don't be afraid to call him and give him a try. I would give this Dr. 6 stars if i could.
LOVE HIM!!
I needed a dermatologist stat and found him on line. He got excellent reviews so I made an appointment. He saw me right away but later that night when I went to use the creams for my face, I noticed that it was getting worse! I went back to the office the very next day, even before it opened and waited. I left them a message letting them know what had happened and that I needed to seem him immediately! Even though he had another patient waiting he saw me first and gave me great information and instructions. He didn't even charge me another copay which I would have happily payed!
He is caring, tentative and informational! He even asked me questions! Can you believe that!!
I am not a patient of Dr. Pearlman, but just want to thank him for doing a pragmatic study of how to remove headlice [[ basically, you cover your head with hand cream, use a hair dryer to dry it into a hard suffocating cover around the lice, then wash off later in the day; repeat for a couple of weeks, no need to remove nits except so that others don't think you are carrying the plague]]. Anyhow, great work and finally some real data.
Now I want a study about whether, as I've heard, that you don't have to wash and dry your bedding to kill remaining nits and lice, but only to put them in a dryer on high for 20 minutes.
I don't want to go into specifics on what happened, I was just disappointed that they wouldn't see me when I was 15 minutes late. I called them to let them know then I couldn't find parking. I will commend Dr Pearlman for calling me to apologize. That was an A+ on his part. That was very nice of him.

what can I say...fantastic! He was probably the only Dr. ever who wanted to listen to what I had to… Read more »
I had kind of bad acne and Dr. Pearlman gave me this stuff called duac gel and my acne cleared right up, you're in an out and he's a great man acne free thanks DALE
My five year daughter has suffered from atopic dermatitis and numerous food allergies since she was born. I tried a local dematologist in Oakland and was sorely disappointed in his lack of interest and professional evaluation of my daughter.
Dr. Pearlman was recommended by my Stanford allergist and even though we live in the East Bay, the trip to Menlo Park was well worth it. The wait was never long and Dr. Pearlman listened to our concerns and questions in a way that really impressed me. He then evaluated my daughter very throughly and was personable to her and us. He spoke about the current research being done on atopic dermatitis and what is probably ailing her. He then told us in very specific terms what we needed to do and how to do it. With a week, her skin was better and we were all feeling easier. Dr. Pearlman also suggested websites to learn more about the disease and gave me his email address to ask him any further questions we may have. And I did that. And he answered me!
Dr. Pearlman is clearly the best dermatologist and one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would highly recommend him. He'll change your opinion about doctors and make you wish all of your doctors were this good. BTW, after a couple of months, he told us we didn't have to see him again b/c our daughter was fine.
I suffered from cystic acne for years and it was horrifying. 9 years later it came back, or so I thought. I found Dr. Pearlman randomly online and he listened to me and asked me questions. He talked to me about lifestyle and stress and made me feel really good about why it was back. He gave me a topical cream and it was gone shortly after. He spent a lot of time and seemed genuinely concerned about me, and I never felt rushed. He left when I was through asking questions and talking. I have referred him to about 4 people and they are all thrilled. Best referral anyone has ever given me and I hope to pass it on.
I would like to add, he gave me his email address and I had questions answered shortly after I emailed him. A doctor like this is a rare find these days.
Seriously, Dr. Pearlman is the best dermo I've EVER seen. His staff was very nice and professional too.
I went in for a visit last week regarding a questionable (and ugly) mole that I had. I ended up having it removed and he was so good about explaining every second of the procedure to me and making sure I wasn't in pain.
He did not rush me, answered ALL of my questions and made sure that I understood what he was saying. He wasn't like some other MD's I've seen who use verbose medical jargon to try and explain whatever I'm in the office for.
Also, I didn't wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. A+++
I will never go to any other Dermo again!! Dr. Pearlman is da bomb!
My daughter's pediatrician contacted Dr. Pearlman on a Friday afternoon. We urgently needed a second opinion from a dermatologist regarding a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to a prescription drug. Although Dr. Pearlman had never treated my daughter before, he rearranged his schedule and stayed on long after his office was closed for the day to make sure that my daughter got an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Among other things, he took the extra step of consulting by telephone with the head of Pediatric Dermatology at Stanford Hospital. At the end of the visit, based on his recommendation, we stopped the drug immediately. He kept in touch with us for several days thereafter by telephone and e-mail to make sure that our daughter was OK. In addition to being a dedicated professional and providing the highest standard of care for our daughter, Dr. Pearlman had a wonderful "bedside manner" with her, and he also treated my husband with great cordiality and respect, which was greatly appreciated.
I booked an appointment with Dr. Pearlman based on all the positive reviews. Not sure if these are friends of his because I had a completely different experience. My appt. was at 10:15 a.m. and I arrived at 10 a.m. The waiting room was packed which was a red flag. I sat and waited for the doctor for over 40 minutes.
I had one problem - a small growth on my face. That's all he had to do - look at it and remove it. oh, no, he talked and talked and kept asking what did I really want? I really wanted the growth removed. He says *I will be right back*. I hear him go into another waiting room and greet another patient (he has a really loud voice and whistles).
Finally, he comes back into my room. It is now 11:15 a.m., I have been there over an hour. He tells me *we can remove that growth. I don't have time now. You can come back this afternoon* What?
And that was my entire experience.
p.s. if you google his name, you can see some history on this doctor that is enlightening. Plus his receptionists were pretty flakey and greeted me as if I was a long time patient even though it was my first time there-they had to scramble for paperwork for me to fill out, etc.
Brought my two young boys in to see Dr. Pearlman yesterday for the first time. Both boys were very relaxed while talking to Dr. Pearlman who did a thorough visual inspection of each "patient", gave a brief education of their condition, discussed pros and cons of the options available, and made his recommendation as to the best treatment. He got both boys in on the discussion and got their buy-in on the decision. All-in-all, a very easy appointment. All that, and Dr. Pearlman decorates his exam rooms with beautiful photographs that he has taken of the places he has visited. I would happily recommend this doctor for all ages.
Finally a Dermatologist who spends more than 5 minutes with you, strives to get real results, and is easy to get a hold of if you have any questions.
Thanks to Yelp, I booked an office visit here soon after moving to the Palo Alto area. After seeing a half dozen dermatologists for skin issues, Dr. Pearlman's knowledge and demeanor blew me out of the water. He took the time to go over what was bothering me, and the right medications. I really appreciated that he didn't seem rushed.
When I had a prescription question a day later, his office was able to get back to me in a half an hour.
*Six months later and my skin looks fantastic! YAY!
Dr. Dale Pearlman has been a Godsend to me. He was able to diagnose a very obscure medical issue, that all my previous Dermatologists had failed to do.
He plans his patient schedule so that he is readily available and his staff is obviously well trained, courteous and extremely competent.
And unlike many other Doctors these days, he always provides more than adequate time for the patient during his appointments.
He really seems to care about his patients care and wellbeing.
Dr. Pearlman is a doctor that really cares about you and your health. He will take any issue and take the time to figure out the cause and the best treatment. He also takes the time to talk to you and talk through everything. He is about 30 minutes from my house, which can be annoying - but he is totally worth it. If you have any skin issues that other doctors have blown off or ignored, then go to Dr. Pearlman. He, and his staff, are the best. I cant say enough good things.
It is so hard to find any doctor that will spend more than 30 seconds with you these days, but Dr. Pearlman will spend real time with you. He is very friendly and seems to know his stuff. He is a dermatologist and has an affiliation Stanford.
I don't have much to add in addition to the other reviews except to second them all. Dale Pearlman is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, professional and resourceful. He comes highly recommended from other terrific doctors in the area.

So now that I've been twice I feel like I can contribute. I've seen many many derms since my skin issues first started during my early teen years and this is the first time that I've truly felt comfortable talking about my skin with anyone. First off, his staff is polite and welcoming. It may be because I schedule late afternoon appointments, but I always walk in and am seen only a few minutes later. Dr. P is extremely thorough, answering and asking question after question. Despite the fact that he is probably looking forward to going home as soon as I leave, I never feel rushed. In fact he makes me feel like I can stay and ask as many questions as I want. I like that I feel as though I understand whats happening to my skin after speaking with him. Honestly it makes me want to follow his directions to a T. My favorite thing about this doctor has got to be his positive attitude. Any time I have to discuss my skin is usually a total downer but I cant help but reflect his positivity when I'm in his office. After two months I can say that I have seen positive results and cant wait to see how much more my skin will improve by my next two month follow up. Dr.P and his staff earned all five of my stars.
We took my son to see Dr. Pearlman for a case of eczema which started when he was born and continued for the first 6 months of his life. It was so bad that he was constantly drawing blood from scratching and he (and we) couldn't sleep at night. He even ripped out much of his hair from the itchiness. Our pediatricians said 1/3 of all newborns have eczema, that they couldn't treat it, and it would go away on its own (it didn't). Dr. Pearlman cured it in 2 weeks!
i guess i don't have to say much, others have said enough about how good he is, and i'm just here to verify that he's truly a great dermatologist.
he would really listen to you and hear your questions, make judgements and explaining to you in detail, and patients can even email him for any more questions after the visit
I just came back from my appointment with Dr. Pearlman. I can't say enough good things about his practice. He is a 5 star doctor who really cares about your health and concerns. Thanks to Yelp, I decided to go an see him. He is very knowledgeable and would explain in details all your options for treatment. Although a bit far from Mountain View, where I live, I didn't mind or would not mind going back to him again. Again, he really cares about you as a patient, and won't leave the office until all your questions are answered.
I used to go to a general practitioner for skin problems...big mistake. She sent me home with an Rx that just made the problem worse. Luckily, I found Dr. Pearlman. My skin is so much better now. He is careful to prescribe medications with minimal side effects and discloses what problems there might be with an Rx.
