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.

Abrasive
Dr. Perkins did a decent job, but he spent most of our session cutting me off, speaking to me in a patronizing tone, and he didn’t seem to be paying attention to what I was saying or showing to him. I had to repeat myself a few times which was frustrating on top of everything else. Hoping it was just a busy day for him. Not sure if I would want to return to him again. He did give me some answers about what brought me in, so that was the only good part of the appointment.

Highly Skilled Professional
Dr. Perkins, as always, did a thorough examination, as part of an ongoing review for skin cancer. He always appears knowledgeable about medical information and is analytic in his practice. He has demonstrated excellent surgical skills in the past. And he has always shown empathy and concern about his patient (me!) In sum, an excellent caregiver.

I had a few visits with Dr. Perkins, and every time I was in and out in 15 minutes or less. Straight shooter, quick, easy, flawless, professional. Everything you want in a dermatologist.

Doctor is great but staffs are terrible
I have been seeing this doctor for about five years, and while the doctor’s service is excellent, the staff’s unprofessionalism has reached its peak—especially evident today. I scheduled an appointment and confirmed it twice over the phone, including once at 11:37 AM for my 1:45 PM appointment. Both times, I was assured that my appointment was set. Yet, when I arrived, I was told it had been canceled without any prior notice!

Dr. Perkins is fantastic
The new office is incredibly clean and its very quiet which is important to me since I get nervous at the Dr's office. Dr. Perkins is an amazing Dermatologist who can diagnose and treat quickly and efficiently. His style is to not sugar coat and tell you exactly what he thinks the issue is and then gives you options to treat it.He responds quickly and does not hesitate to explain when you don't understand something. I ask questions that are likely annoying like 'how much will it hurt' when its going to involve a knife or a needle, and he never judges. I highly recommend Dr. Todd Perkins as a Dermatologist.

Psoriasis Free!
I have been through nearly every treatment. This month I’m psoriasis free thanks to Dr. Perkins! He keeps up to date on all the treatments and is careful in introducing new ones. He is a great guy, and his staff is great too! They always put a smile on my face.

Compassionate Care
I have been going to Dr. Perkins for 15 years. He diagnosed & operated on my melanoma and my recent (non-skin) cancer experience with care and compassion. He reassures me when I need to hear things multiple times. I've sent many friends to him as I trust him and value him so much.

Found a small spot that turned out to be dangerous
Always efficient, professional, and very effective in skin examinations. He spotted a very small sport on my foot and sent it for biopsy because he felt it looked suspicious. The results were uncertain with the first review, so he sent it for analysis by a specialist in Paris, who identified it as 'incipient melanoma.' Dr. Perkins then removed it effectively and there is no sign of any recurrence.

Full body skin examination
I visited Dr. Perkins late 2023 for a skin growth removal. Biopsy concluded that it was cancerous. His immediate interest for my well-being and action to refer me to the right specialists in the field may have been life-saving. Soon after I was diagnosed with Stage IV, Big C. Since then I see him every three months for a full skin examination. He is friendly, always on time, efficient, listens well and explains clearly. I highly recommend Dr. Perkins because He is Great!

Very thorough about skin cancer screenings; doesn't push cosmetic procedures unless you want them. Usually friendly, sometimes abrupt if he's in a hurry and you've asked one too many questions.

annual skin check
Ever since my brother survived a case of melanoma, it's important to me to be examined annually by a dermatologist with the expertise I trust to detect any signs of it. Although I've avoided melanoma so far, Dr. Perkins has treated some areas of my skin that showed signs of being pre-cancerous (carcinoma).
