Richard B. Perkins's Online Review Report Card

Dr perkins did major surgery on my back around 10 years ago , and i haven’t had any problems with my back until recently , call for appointment and got one for two weeks , but the pain got so bad i went to there walk-in at kingston and they got me i to see Dr perkins that day??????, to top it off he remember all the details and was kind and rush the order to get a M R I two day from now !!! that you so much for doing what you do and thanks to the staff at the kingston office !!

Dr Perkins put up with a LOT from me and he handled my sixty questions and anxiety very well. My back surgery was done at the Surgical Center and went off without a hitch. In the future, I will need further treatment, and I will be going right back to him when the time comes. Thank you for your fine work!

Dr perkins failed my surgery and left me a virtual cripple and then pretty much denied I had a problem.Now I live on social security because of this "doctor".

Dr Perkins did surgery on my back that went well, but now years later I have pain, he seems absent when I am telling him I have pain on the opposite side. He just said let’s see but didn’t examine me ! ???? The office staff are rude , one lady that I was speaking to on the phone, told me she didn’t have time when I asked a question about forms ! I had to fill out form online, then at the kiosk and then was given the same paper form at the checkin. Was ignored when I asked why . I need a doctor I’m in pain

I found Dr. Perkins to be highly qualified, compassionate,and eager to help resolve my issues .

I'm amazed at the terrible reviews here. Dr. Perkins is an excellent surgeon and doctor and has always treated me well. I first visited him barely able to walk. I'm a mail carrier and had broken my back during work, and he championed my condition when Kingston Hospital wouldn't even administer pain medication. He seems to have a very neutral personality, but the morning of my surgery, he came in to the hospital wing upbeat, joking and happy to be there. This is a man who loves what he does and is passionate about his patients, but maybe tones it down in the office. My surgery went exceedingly well. I am still a mail carrier, carrying hundreds of pounds of packages and mail every day. Dr. Perkins will not suggest surgery or even medication therapy unless he believes it is the only avenue of recovery, from his professional opinion. This is a rarity in his field and I find it one of his best qualities. I would highly recommend him for any back-related issues.

He didn't want to see or listen or about, past history.from 1977 ! He didn't do anything see lied on his report,, didn't have me do anything..this man is a fraud.

MAJOR WASTE OF TIME-DO NOT GO !!!! My elderly but very mentally sharp mother has spinal stenosis and was expecting a normal, useful medical visit, meaning an exam, discussion, options, etc.. This "doctor" did NOTHING! Dr. Perkins didn't exam her AT ALL- all he did was recommend physical therapy after two pointless questions-no exam, no discussions even though she had 4 falls this year and is having difficulty walking. This guy needs to switch careers !!!!

He has the personality of a bag of rocks. He saw my xrays before he saw me and knew I required no surgery. So he comes into my room and says "no surgery needed"....."exercise" and thats it.....he gave absolutely no indication that he cared about my condition. But he was polite. He talked in kinda a monotone speaking voice, very robotic. Had no opinion on anything I had to say....stared me right in the eyes while talking, expressionless. Offered zero advice. I asked for cortisone, he said ok.

Question him all you like, he has canned answers which if you have multiple visits he repeatedly uses like you did not understand. I understood just fine and even brought my wife to a visit to corroborate it wasn't me when I felt deflated not getting answers to my specific questions. No bed side manner and acts aloof.
