  • Dr Perales is absolutely the most incredible doctor, and human, I have ever met. I’m so glad I found her years ago when we first moved here. She may see thousands of patients but she ALWAYS makes you feel like you are the only one. Not only is she an amazing doctor but she runs an amazing practice. If the front desk misses your call they will call you back without leaving a message. She and her office are a rare gem in the medical desert we live in.

  • Dr. Perales is a fantastic doctor. She is thorough, caring, kind and respectful. She treats me as if she truly cares about my well being and not just a number to get in and out as quick as possible. She has helped me through many different health issues. I am always able to get in to see her when my schedule allows and I have never had to wait a long time to be seen. She is top notch and I highly recommend her as a PCP!

  • Live Well Family Medicine is what health care should be. In a world where so many clinics are owned by large corporate systems that rush patients through and treat you like a number, this private practice is a breath of fresh air. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in—personalized care, genuine compassion, and a team that actually knows you. Dr. Perales and her staff take the time to listen, explain, and connect. There’s no assembly-line feeling—just real, patient-centered care from people who truly care about your health and well-being. This is the kind of medical practice that reminds you what medicine is meant to be: human, attentive, and deeply committed to helping you live well.

  • Dr. Perales exceeded my expectations. My daughter needed to get in and be seen ASAP and I loved the easy online scheduling, able to download and complete paperwork. Most importantly, Dr. Perales really cares about her patients. My daughter got the care she needed, what more can you ask? She and her staff were awesome.
