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.

I've been seeing him for a cluster of conditions: fibromyalgia, osteoperosis, and psoriatic arthritis. Dr. Perkins is thoughtful, attentive, and thorough. I trust him.

Dr. Perkins has been my rheumatologist for over 6 years and constantly strives to find the right mix of medications to make my disease more manageable. He genuinely cares and doesn’t give up on his patients, no matter how difficult. His easy manner makes me feel confident that we will find the magical mix. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Perkins and his entire staff!

I will always be grateful to Dr. Perkins for being the doctor who took a look at me from head to toe, so that I might have an idea of where my arthritis is headed. In the past 5 years, he's relieved some of the pain in my hands via use of cortisone shots, as well as being emotionally supportive. I find his staff to be professional and efficient, and don't ever have trouble scheduling appointments.

If I could give a 0, I would. Dr. Perkins is absolutely awful. He is rude, condescending, and all around a horrible person. He would not believe me when I told him I was in pain and then he refused to do any tests to see if there were reason for my pain except for one MRI to see if there was a pinched nerve in my back. He said that he was 100% sure that I had no arthritis and when it was found in my back, he refused to look in other areas that cause me pain, that it was not medically necessary
