Dr.Perkinson and staff members were excellent. Dr. Perkinson was kind, considerate and extremely knowledgeable of my knee issues. Took time to explain causes and treatments available to me and discussed at length what might be a long term plan … I highly recommend him for anyone searching for a Dr. that makes you feel comfortable while reassuring you of options most appropriate for your situation.

Very happy with my first experience with Dr. Perkinson. He clearly explained the results of my X-rays and then laid out the potential cause of my pain. The appointment never felt rushed, which I greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to see him again 🙂 but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
