New patient visit, Dr. Perkins was on time and extremely welcoming. Took a thorough history of the reason for coming, listened and asked pertinent questions. Thorough exam with detailed questions. Offered multiple x-rays to pinpoint reasons for pain so a comprehensive way to alleviate pain could be determines. Questions were answered, x-rays scheduled right after the visit. Morning very well spent.
