“Thank you for all you bring to your work and all that you shared with our team. One staff member said that she teared up and two others said that it touched the core of why they got into this work. It revitalized everybody. They loved it. I so hoped that it would. Thanks for everything.”

“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Dina Perez-Neira, assessing and treating patients with complex pain problems. She is a talented and skilled communicator, teacher, therapist who is able to bond with the most troubled and ‘difficult’ patients. Individuals in need respond to her compassionate approach, learn cognitive and behavioral skills from her, and come away functioning better in their world because of her. And she can do this is two languages!”

“Dina has been a friend and neighbor of mine for more than 25 years. Over that time I have been awed at her amazing energy, her drive and persistence, her intelligence, her sense of humor, and her warmth and integrity. When I consulted her for help with pain management I knew I would be in good hands but I did not anticipate the incredible turnaround she was instrumental in executing. I had injured my knee on a Pilates machine 8 years ago and for seven of the past 8 years I was literally unable to put weight on my left foot. I went to every imaginable kind of doctor, desperate to walk and the treatments ranged from physical therapy to shots of synovisc to shots of novacaine but nothing helped. When I started working with Dina one year ago I had almost given up hope. Today I am walking comfortably. Dina helped me implement a program combining a pain medication that worked with techniques for managing the pain so that my knee had a chance to heal. Her approach was eclectic and inspiring. I knew that she wanted to see me walking as much as I wanted to walk which truly kept me going when I thought progress would be impossible. She created a trusting environment so that I followed her directions to the letter and her faith and absolute belief that I would improve encouraged me not to give up. I can only give Dina the highest recommendation as a professional. She really knows her field in depth, she never gives her clients anything less than her absolute best effort, and she demonstrates an extraordinary ability to help people heal themselves.”
