Adam T. Perry MD

Dr. Perry gave such a good cortisone shot I always refused to get one from his PA. Limped in and floated out. It was like a miracle. At some point, however the knee gets to where there is no relief and only a replacement will help. That happened with me on one knee after years of cortisone.

I received a similar shot from Dr. Williams on my shoulder. Because of the success with my knees with the cortisone from Dr. Perry, I wanted to follow the same course with my shoulder. Dr. Williams fixed my right shoulder a little over 10 years ago and the success was great, but recovery and therapy was a beitch. Unfortunately, the shoulder is not like the knee and continued cortisone shots will result in the shoulder reducing to a condition where it would not be repairable.

Passed away yesterday of a massive stroke at 49 years old. He was one of the founding partners of LOS, had a terrific bedside manner and was a great surgeon.

Dr. Perry has always been very supportive of the Lafayette community and its sports teams. While he played as an offensive lineman at LSU, he was hands on and provided sports medicine support here in Lafayette at Teurlings High School and also more importantly at Louisiana.

Dr. P was a great doctor and friend to me and my family. He performed two knee surgeries on me and three other surgeries on my family. He was also instrumental in engaging one of my sons as a PT tech at LOS Physical Therapy while he was home from PT school this summer.

Dr. P, you will be missed here in many, many ways.

Prayers for Dr. P. as he will be missed. Welcome back CajunVic.

Terrible news. Kids went to school with mine for a long time. Great surgeon and was a solid person. RIP

I didnt know him personally but know exactly who he is through my wife. She was pretty shook up when she heard the news yesterday morning. She taught all 3 of his kids. 1 of his sons is the same age as mine. All 3 are great kids from a very good family. As many of you mentioned here, I've heard nothing but good things about him as a person and physician.

RIP Dr Perry. As the team Dr he fixed my son’s hip when a ligament detached a huge chunk of bone from it.

I didn't know Dr. Perry, but met Dr. Williams who treated my wife. Everybody in the office is awesome. 1st class ortho practice. I am so sorry for Dr. Perry, his friends, family and patients.
