Dr. Perez’s current research interests include development of novel contrast-enhanced microscopic and endoscopic surgical techniques for acoustic neuroma/vestibular schwannoma and cholesteatoma surgery, respectively. He is also focused on translational research on hearing preservation cochlear implantation, including the use of intraoperative electrocochleography, therapeutic hypothermia and steroid-eluting hybrid implants to minimize implantation trauma. Having a background in healthcare economics, Dr. Perez is also interested in cost effectiveness analysis in management of otologic and neurotologic disorders. He has co-authored numerous textbook chapters and published manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals in otolaryngology, neurotology and neurosurgery.

Buena [Good]
I had the best experience. Everyone was so very kind, courtesy and professional. I had a little mishaps while there and the Director of the department personally came to check on me to make sure I was okay. Dr. Perez explained everything to me making sure I understood the results from testing and his exam and what my next options were. The area Itself was clean and well kept. After I left their office I went to speak with my primary doctor and told him how pleased I was I gave him business cards to hand out to others who may need their service. Very pleased indeed Thank you Dr. Perez and his staff.
Dr. Perez is very thoughtful and caring.
