Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Care & Complete Information
With good support staff and excellent doctors like Hugh Perkin, Urology Associates cares for a lot of patients and does it well! When calling the office, you will usually be on hold for 5 to 8 minutes, unless you choose the “callback “ option, and they are good at calling back. I trust Dr Perkin, and highly recommend him!

Doesn't listen; kind on occasion
Dr. Perkins is treating me for a life-threatening illness. This illness is such that the patient must choose his treatment. Dr. Perkins has been kind to me on occasion, and he has also dismissed my concerns often enough. I experienced a shocking episode of mismanagement by his staff in the Templeton office, and it is frustrating sending messages through the patient portal. I will stick with Dr. Perkin because I am a loyal person, but I am tempted to switch to another doctor in his practice.
