Never introduced herself. As a new patient you would think she would. Sending me for a procedure with no blood or urine ever being drawn. Isn’t that standard for a new patient. Mentioned a couple issues and I felt as if I was being blown off! Not very personable. Really didn’t seem very concerned about any of my issues. Not a good first impression. I canceled the procedure and found a doctor that truly listened to my concerns.

Dr. Perkins is a wonderful doctor. She is very caring, professional, thorough, and personable. You couldn't ask for a better physician on all counts. I've recommended her to others, and have received the same positive feedback from each. I highly recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Perkins for a few years now, as has my 84-year-old mother. She is extremely patient and thorough. She takes time to answer all questions and is very friendly and compassionate. The office staff is friendly as well. All refills are promptly attended to.

Untrustworthy. Does not explain anything the is charging you for. Sneaks in drug tests as “routine urine samples” and treats you as a felon or something with no transparency. I have seen many doctors before and after her, none of which have pulled the same tricks that she has. Waste of time, energy, and insurance money. Plenty of other doctors will treat you with the understanding and respect you deserve, pay for, and should expect.

I had seen Dr Perkins for years. Never was too fond of her because she is not very personable and seems to be in an out of the appointment without much of an exam or discussion. I had been on my same prescriptions for years and during one med review she told me I was “due for a urine sample” which I had never had to do in years of seeing her. Come to find out she drug testing me without my consent. Ended up doing it again. Extremely untrustworthy and no concept of doc-patient relationship.

Dr Perkins is a wonderful doctor. she has been my doctor for quite a few years now. I love the fact that she listens to what you have to say. Most doctors don't do that anymore. She's a very family-oriented Dr. she makes you feel like you're her only patient. And I appreciate that more than she'll ever know!!

Doesn't spend enough time listening to the patient. The nurse is rude and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I do not trust her judgement and very certainly not the nurses. Don't make the mistake of coming to her office.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Perkins?
Unfortunately I continue to have sub-optimal experiences with Dr. Perkins. The front office staff is great, it is always easy to get an appointment, and the office itself is nice. However, the nurse is somewhat of a know-it-all, and is very short. Dr. Perkins herself is in a way, condescending. She often does not perform a physical exam at all. I have also noticed she jumps to conclusions without asking many questions, leaving me feeling like she is not listening to me.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Perkins?
Horrible! Oh, where do I start. Her nurse talks to you passive aggressively then constantly calls you hun. She talks down to patients. She acts like she knows it all and is very unfriendly. The doctor doesn't do what is in the best interest of the patient. She is like talking to a potato. No personality. Waste of time and money. I warn anyone from going to that office. I have not seen anything like it in my life. I can not believe this place would have any positive reviews.
