I have been a patient of Dr. Perkins for several years. I can honestly say I enjoy each visit. He is very congenial, but also very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and does not waste time. His staff is excellent as well. I highly recommend him. read more

I think Dr. Perkins is great. I am an approx. 50 year old with sun damage and acne scars and I believe he has done a great job in helping me. Also, in this world were you're lucky to receive a 7 minute visit, Dr. Perkins takes his time, listens to you and offers recommendations. I will continue to have Dr. Perkins as my dermatologist and will refer my friends to him as well. read more

Review for Dr Perkins: He is a friendly guy, makes you feel like he cares and comes off as rather confident and knowledgeable. But at the same time is quite alpha male and can come off as rather cocky. He has given me conflicting advice, including telling me once that laser treatment is necessary for my rosacea and then, after I had two (painful) treatments with the technician, telling me that I didn't need it and I shouldn't have any further treatments. That's when I decided to go see another dermatologist, Braun Dermatology in Foggy Bottom. Review for his office staff: Severely lacking in professionalism. Really I haven't encountered such lousy patient "service" in any other doctor's office in this city. Everything from how they confirm appointments to the prescription refill "service" (where you leave a message that they never check and can't be bothered to call you back) is lousy. Many of the people behind the counter and up to the office manager are flat-out rude and have the attitude of "I'm doing you a favor by even talking to you." They make the office feel like a clinic. read more

They never billed my insurance and got slapped with a bill. I called their insurance billing people and they didn't want to submit the bill. I called their manager, she said she'll call me back. I never got a call from her. Very disorganized when it comes to their billing practice. read more

I have been going to see Dr. Perkins for nearly a decade and his friendly demeanor and professionalism always puts me at ease. He is a great listener and I've always left his office feeling better than when I arrived. I really can't recommend him highly enough! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Perkins for several years and have always found him to be thorough and caring. I think he provides a very good service. read more

My new patient experience here met my expectations for a satisfying urban dermatology office visit. There was a busy waiting room located high up in an office complex with rapid turnover of patients, several efficient office assistants (with some dedicated to patient check-in and some dedicated to collecting payment), myriad exam rooms, new patient forms where I provide my medical history myself and am not subsequently asked about it except for my present illness, and an optional questionnaire to have cosmetic procedures and products offered to me. Through the process, I felt fairly and courteously treated. When it came time for the main event, my office visit with Dr. Perkins, I found him tastefully enthusiastic, down-to-earth, handsome, tactfully honest, and a smooth operator of diagnostic procedures. While your experience may vary from mine, I would recommend Dr. Perkins' practice to my family and friends. read more

Dr. Perkins has gotten some flack on here, but so far I have only had a good or great experience with him. I've been going to Dr. Perkins for a couple of years now and have always left pleased. Either the office has hired new and more pleasant front staff, or the previous staff has had a attitude adjustment, because during my most recent visit the front staff was much more pleasant than earlier visits. Dr. Perkins himself is professional and doesn't waste your time, which I very much appreciate. The only reason I would not give five stars is that the office is a little dumpy (gross looking elevator hallway, hallways of the office itself a bit unkempt and sloppy), but overall, I am pleased with Dr. Perkins and have recommended him to others looking for a dermatologist who takes care of business. read more

I have been going to Dr Perkins for several years. He listens and is attentive and gets me in and out quickly. He certainly recognizes any changes in skin conditions and resolves the problem. And, he is friendly and efficient. read more

Did NOT leave happy. I had two issues that had been there for a few years - not critical, but bad enough. He dismissed me outright. What? "But they are spreading." No reaction. I threw my hands up as he walked out of the room and he apparently saw me and came back. I left with some treatment and a prescription. Not happy - but wow. Charging me (evil insurance company paid most) $360 for 15 minutes I would expect he takes my concerns seriously. He didn't - not going back. read more

Sure felt like an assembly line. Long wait in waiting room and patient room. then 2 minute visit by rushed and condescending doctor. Questions related to diagnosis and treatment are greeted with derision and eye rolling. Highly recommend looking elsewhere if your insurance allows it. read more

I'm looking for a new dermatologist if anyone has any recommendations. Perkins carries himself like he's god's gift to the world. His office is convenient to mine, which is the only reason I would go there, but I just can't handle how pompous and self-important they are for sub-par medical care. I've had it. read more

I waited 40 mins to see Dr. Perkins for @4-5 minutes. The visit felt rushed and the office space is cramped/claustrophobic - with no restroom inside the office. He made me feel like my questions were bothersome and like I was being pushed and pulled through the visit like a number. In the future I'll look for a different dermatologist. read more

I don't really want to leave Dr. Perkins a bad review, because I like him quite a bit. He's pretty no-nonsense, but I always felt like he explains options and I feel like he's more informative than other derms I've seen. I'm pretty satisfied with his treatment. However, the organization of this office is really terrible. Seeing him monthly for 5-6 months, on two different occasions they failed to perform the necessary follow-up to get me my prescriptions, and I ended up going without it for several days (5 days currently). They have also failed to send the necessary paperwork to the lab they recommended me to for bloodwork, leaving me to show up and be turned away. They never answer their phones. I've left 3 messages since my last appointment (3 business days ago) and my pharmacy has called and left messages as well to try to get me my prescription. Still nothing. I'm forgiving that someone forgot to follow-up immediately after my appointment. But after days of ignoring messages, I find them to be incredibly unprofessional. I would get fired for stuff like this. I'm glad my medication isn't something that I DESPERATELY need, but I don't think that's a very good excuse for the thumb-twiddling that must be happening there. I like Dr. Perkins a lot, and if you need to go a time or two, I liked his manner. But if you need to work in conjunction with an office for any sustained period of time, this one is truly unprofessional and incredibly infuriating. read more

So hard to make an appointment here - they put callers on hold so long that other callers get a busy signal - No surprise when you see the front desk staff in action - abrupt and generally "over it" when it comes to dealing with patients - Dr Perkins helped me with a medication but yes, you do have to prepared for a rushed appointment. read more

Dr. Perkins is extremely helpful. I have seen him twice now. The first time he seemed rush, irritated and impatient with my answers (or inability to answer his questions). I had a similar experience with him this time around but was okay with it as this time I expected this kind of customer service. I don't think he is rude or that it is intentional, rather, I think he is just busy and juggling quite a number of patients per day not making him socially present for when its your turn. However, the staff are extraordinarily kind, cheerful and helpful the moment you walk in the door. Their smiles and kindness makes it worth it. :) read more

Seems like a competetant doctor. I was happy with the services I received and would definitely go back

Horrible! His bedside manner is arrogant, rushed and pretty much rude. Only treated one issue not because of overdoing it but for the reason "lets just do this today and come back again for the other". Oh, so you can get more money? Could you have more obvious? Nope. And needless to say his rushed, lack of interest treatment didn't work and I now have start over somewhere else because I will NEVER set foot in his office again. As much of a waste of time he made me feel in his presence he is the one who ended up wasting my time with insult added to it. Not even worth one star worst Dr. I have ever seen Hands down Horrible! Do not go...keep looking. read more

I've seen Dr Perkins for years and now bring my daughter to see him. He is personable, direct and very knowledgeable. I'm a bit of a skin product junky after years and years of dealing with acne. He always listens to me and then guides me to the right place based on my skin. I've seen so many doctors over the past 25 years for my skin and I have stuck with this one for the last ten! My daughter likes him too (she has unfortunately inherited my skin) and that is really saying something for a teenager. read more

I had never been to a dermatologist bf and chose him based on his location--across from the Farragut west metro. I was running 10 minutes late and waited for about 25 minutes to see him, which seems pretty standard. The front desk weren't the most smiley-faced greeters but they weren't rude either. One of the forms you have to sign is you agreeing to the fact you've read and understood your prvacy rights and I wouldn't sign it without being given the form--they were fine with that. After they summed it up and I skimmed it I signed it--I just never sign what I don't understand. When I went in the exam room the nurse(?) asked me why I was there--I explained (again) what it was for and she had me completely disrobe. I questioned it bc I thought it a little odd but she said it's normal. When the doctor came in he asked me why I was here again, I told him and ge apologized and told me this wasn't normal procedure and to get dressed. When he closed the door I heard him explaining to his assistant that she really needs to make sure why someone is there, especially if they've never been to a determatologist. Apparently she had me prepping for a full melanoma/skin cancer exam, which the doc explained would be an entirely different appointment (and usually unnecessary for someone my age). He was apologetic about it but I was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. Anyway, once I got dressed and we got to the exam he took his time explaining things and answered my questions. Based on other reviews I could see where some people might think he goes a little fast but I really think that's just the way he talks. Overall, I was pleased with him personally but thought his staff a bit incompitent. This is a true example of needing to be an informed patient! I did compliment his art work ( obviously his kids creation) and he lit up and showed me another piece his daughter did. He also made sure I received a coupon for my prescription which I thought was cool. Now, here's hoping they bill my insurance with lightning speed bc it's changing as of may 1 (which I wrote everwhere and pointed out to them). My recommendation: give him a try but be prepared for sub-par receptionists. read more

I've been going to Dr. Perkins for 5 years but am serously consiering changing doctors becuase of his front desk staff and the nurses. The front desk staff can only be called rude and when I call for prescription refills the nurses are nasty and argumentative about placing them. I come in yearly plus if I have any specific issues so don't see why getting refills has to be so stressful. Overall I like Dr. Perkins though but he is the business owner so if he doesn't make changes...can only blame himself. read more

First visit. Appointment was on time. Dr. Perkins was very efficient & extremely thorough. Followed up with me personally on my labs & gave me options of how to handle my carcinomas. Impressed so far! read more

This office has smart and reliable physicians, but some of the rudest and least helpful staff. Without fail, whenever I call for assistance, I get insulted, put on hold and made to feel like they don't want me as a patient. Well, if it wasn't for Dr. Perkins, I would grant their wish. I would never recommend this office to friends strictly based on the staff that works there. read more

I saw Dr. Perkins recently on the suggestion of a coworker who is also a patient of his. I found him to be very pleasant and attentive. He was careful to listen to my questions about a genetic skin condition and provide advice on melanoma screenings. He made me feel very comfortable and best of all, I was quickly seen and waited no more than ten minutes total. I'll very likely return to Dr. Perkins for dermatology care in the future. read more

If you want a clear, objective analysis of any skin issues, Dr. Perkins is my recommendation. He is patient and thorough, and he makes sure he answers all of your questions. read more

Overall I thought Dr. Perkins was good! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I did have a couple of things I wanted to chat about because I've only been to a dermatologist twice in my whole life and figured it maybe a long while before I see one again. Felt a bit rushed to get through everything even though I was only there for 5-8 minutes. read more

As a first-time patient, I was very impressed with Dr. Perkins, as well as his staff. I was able to complete my paperwork ahead of time by downloading the new patient forms from the website, and I was seen by the doctor within 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment time. No waiting! Dr. Perkins has a relaxed, friendly manner that put me at ease. He was very knowledgeable, decisive, and patient in answering all my questions. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent dermatologist. read more

I went in this morning for my 8 a.m. appointment thinking they may not be open after the huge snowstorm we had last night. I was so impressed that the staff and doctors made it in! I see Dr. Perkins for my annual skin check up and he is great. Great personality, very knowledgeable and addressed my minor concerns during each appointment I've had with him. I'll definitely keep going here. read more

While the office was hectic with a large volume of people on a Monday morning - AND they were transitioning over to a new computer system - everyone in the front office was very polite and was able to have a sense of humor in handling the situation - something that is rare these days. I have heard about Dr Perkins for years but this is the first time I ever went to see him... He definitely lived up to the hype - first he apologized that I was sitting in my boxers before he came in to introduce himself to me. I had no problems with it - but the fact that he said that he prefers that says a lot about his professional demeanor. We were able to speak on a level that was comfortable for me (I am rather familiar with medicine) and he was thorough and adept in his evaluation. Unfortunately he had to take a sample for biopsy... something that I have learned to fear from past derms. His nurse came in and got me numbed up. He came in and took the biopsy with the precision and speed never before seen. I see some people saying that he is arrogant or cocky - it is called efficient and highly skilled. He impressed me and I am sure I will see him in the future... hopefully for something more fun than a skin biopsy. read more

I've been to dr Perkins several times and think he's a pretty good derm. He's definitely type A person but I don't mind because I want him to be the expert. His staff is ok but it would be nice if they had a better attitude. I had several basal cell cancers removed and he did a great job. Overall I've had good experiences at this practice. read more

Dr. Perkins is a cutting edge, genuine, caring doctor. If u want the best available dermatology care and treatment he can provide it. He is always aware of the latest trials scripts & methods. Most of all he factors in your specific life circumstances into his course of treatment. When no one else was able to help me, Dr. Perkins significantly improved my quality of life :) read more

Dr. Todd E. Perkins is one of the finest dermatologists I've ever seen and brother . . . I've seen 'em all! The I Street practice with Dr. Edward Stolar is a model of professional efficiency. Dr. Perkins and his excellent staff immediately made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend him to anyone. This is one Doctor totally on top of his game. read more

I was in desperate need of a dermatologist for a severe allergic reaction (which I was terrified was bedbugs). I was not a patient of Dr. Perkins but I saw that their practice was on my plan and located near my office. I called the office at 11am on a Thursday to see if I could get in THAT day. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave me a 1pm appt with Dr. Perkins and I didn't even have to wait. Dr. Perkins was kind, pleasant and thorough. He assured me 100% it was not insect-related and gave me what seemed to me to be an appropriate course of treatment. He seemed to get slightly impatient toward the end of my nervous nelly questions but overall gave me excellent care and was reassuring. read more

Dr. Perkins was great. He's not a therapist, he's a dermatologist. He is quick, matter-of-fact, smart and efficient. I told him my concerns, he quickly addressed them, gave me a great price on a cosmetic procedure and was kind and very personable during the entire process. He is absolutely my go-to doctor for any skin-related issues and I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Love this office. Everyone is so friendly and courteous.. I've been there multiple times and every time the doctor has seen me on time. Not only have I been very happy the results of my cosmetic treatments, the fact that the doctor respects my time as well as his own is a true benefit. Additionally, I had to bring my baby to the office because my nanny was off that day and the team was very accomodating with our needs. I definitely recommend Dr. Perkins and his staff!! read more

I was unsatisfied with another dermatologist's diagnosis("just dry skin") of my severe skin problems so I made an appt. with Dr. Perkins. I feel he literally saved my life since his diagnosis was not only accurate, but put me on the fast track to tests that ultimately determined I have Hodgkins Lymphoma. Had it not been for his expertise & knowledge of my symptoms, I might not have gotten the cancer treatment I so urgently needed. As he predicted, my skin issues were indeed the result of the lymphoma & they continue to improve with his advice & treatment as my chemotherapy continues. I cannot express enough, my grattitude & thanks to him. read more

I'm a bit of a nervous dermatology patient after having gone through melanoma with my husband. So I really appreciated Dr. Perkin's willingness to not only reassure me that the lesion my primary care doc referred me about wasn't anything to worry about but also to look at (and diagnose) every other spot that concerned me. He told me the name of every spot that I asked about and even explained what caused each of them. This is the first time I've seen a derm for a skin check and left feeling confident in his thoroughness and knowledge. I also feel good that he took the time to educate me so I'm less likely to worry about every new freckle or spot I notice. What a great doctor! read more

I have been going to Dr. Perkins for over three years and every time I go, I look forward to the appointment. I hate my procedure, but Dr. Perkins is always pleasant and personable. The first time I went in, he gave me options about my procedure and was very honest and gave great anecdotal stories about other scenarios that would not be so pleasant. He is a definite mover and Type A, which I love. Some people think it's abrupt, but that's not his personality at all! He definitely does care and takes the time to listen when you have concerns - but is also concerned about your time and making sure that you are not in his office longer than necessary - which is important for all busy professionals. He has great bedside manner and is considerate of your time which is difficult to find! A definite recommend!! read more

Have seen Dr. Perkins, Dr. Stolar, Michelle, Olga and Hanna. Very happy with all services, medical and cosmetic I have received. In the almost two years of going monthly to the offices I have noticed an improvement in the customer experience by the front desk staff. I highly recommend this practice. Hanna is an EXCELLENT addition to the office. read more

Dr. Perkins was extremely condescending throughout the appointment and did not listen to my explanation of symptoms or concerns; Rather than examining my skin condition, doctor questioned me regarding use of herion and cocaine (really?!?) and self-mutilation. Refused to acknowledge, as my primary care doctor does, that I have an ongoing skin infection. After an hour of waiting, was seen for 10 minutes and told to put Neosporin on my skin. read more
