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.

The worst doctor I have ever been to! Went to him because I needed a new doctor and he was close to where I lived, he would not fill my medication which I’ve been on for years! He’s whole personality is not friendly, I did not feel comfortable with him!

Saw Dr. Perkins for the first time today and it was about as pleasant as can be expected with a week long migraine. I do have to say that he came in the room and took care not to turn the light on or making any loud noise. He spoke in a low tone of voice due to the migraine. He has wonderful bedside manner and was very thorough even though it was a sick visit. The wait time was practically zero since I was there 15 minutes early for my appt. Staff is very warm and caring. My new PCP.

I've been seeing Dr. Perkins for 10 years. He's a wonderful Dr. He always finds the root of the problem and if he can't, he knows who to send you to.

I highly recommend Dr Perkins. I find him very knowledgable and practicle. Wait time is low and staff is efficient. Makes room in his schedule for urgent care. Most of all I trust his judgement.

Dr. Perkins is a very thorough doctor who listens carefully to your health concerns and then analyzes your symptoms to determine the cause and the proper tests to order. He is very quiet, but when you ask questions, he goes into great detail to explain your health issues and his proposed treatment. Often he gives you printed info about your illness. He carefully records all of your information into a computer so that he has a detailed medical history on each patient.

No bedside manner . . even as new patient, he does not even speak to you. He is inattentive and seemed distracted. Has no interest in a new patient other than reading the paperwork.
Would never recommend to anyone. I wasted more time off work, and it cost me more money to take off work, than worth the time I spent in his office. Extremely disappointing.
