Did you by chance have a phone no which I can call to have my health records transferred to my new medical provider ? His Office, Medical Center of Annandale, Phone: 703-914-3640 is now disconnected. Any advice for me & others like me ?

I was one of his first patients when he opened his practice in Annandale, and he was such an example of what it means to be a doctor. He was compassionate, funny, knowledgeable, and such a calming presence to me when I wasn’t feeling well. He always took the time to ask about my children and grandchildren and we would always compare notes…. His love for his growing family was so evident and his sons were the joy of his life. I only hope that his family speaks of him often with a smile. He would want all of us to do the same…love to his family and the wonderful staff who supported him<br />Kathy English<br />Warrenton, VaKathy Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877427766337604296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-48349315849972123332021-03-10T16:24:18.679-05:002021-03-10T16:24:18.679-05:00This is the first time I'm seeing this.

A class act. An incredible listener. Kind, knowledgeable. He leaves a gaping hole in our lives, not just as a doctor but as a friend. We knew him for 30 years as best we can recall.

I only saw him once a year for a physical but always appreciated his willingness to take his time, to listen, and to not "overmedicate".

We are heartbroken. He was my husband's and my physician for many, many years, as well as other family members and friends. We were first in line at his funeral. I loved that he called me "boring"...medically that is, until I turned 60! It will be so difficult to go to another doctor. Our sincere condolences go out to his family, including his work family. He will be forever in our hearts!

At that time his office was in Lorton. I stopped the same day I got the referral but was told he was at the Alexandria Hospital. After telling the nurse why I wanted to see him she said I could to Alexandria ER and they could call him. Because I was just in ER at Belvoir I decided not that day. Next morning Dr Perez found me in fetal position at his office door. My husband was trying get an emergency number for him. After a few questions that I answered he immediately said it was my gall bladder. Later than day I had surgery to remove my gall bladder.Over the years he was more like a friend who just happened to be an awesome doctor. I was in total shock to get to his office today to see first a sign on the door then inside to see the memorial and photos of him,. I'm sure I stood there crying for at least 15 minutes if not longer. I know I will never find another doctor to I will like as much as I liked Dr Perez. My heart is broken as I know his family has broken hearts as well. My thoughts and prayers are for them. I know he is in a much better place now, but he will always be missed.<br />Dee SprakerMilitaryRealtyBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492287046811953070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-47786903193905075112020-05-22T23:12:04.952-04:002020-05-22T23:12:04.952-04:00My mom, stepfather, sister and I are all heartbrok...My mom, stepfather, sister and I are all heartbroken.

He mentored so many medical school students and cultivated excellent physician assistants. May God rest his soul and keep safe his family to whom he was devoted. And especially keep and comfort his father, age 90+, who now bears a parent's worst pain - the loss of a child.

As the Clinical Director of Harrison House for many years, he saw most if not all of our clients for physicals, TB tests and assorted medical issues, sometimes without payment if the client couldn't pay or didn't have insurance. I saw him myself several times before establishing a PCP when I moved back here in 2014. He was the PCP to my friend and former employer, Steve Crow and many other s. He was the 'staff doc' to our staff at Harrison House and he never failed to squeeze someone in if they needed to be seen. His work ethic, knowledge as a physician and just plain old human kindness is something we will all sorely miss.
