Perkins Jeffrey A DDS

I know no one likes going to the dentist, but I have a real problem with it. I need to take anxiety medicine and I inevitably cry during a simple cleaning. Going to the dentist or having surgery are the only things in my life that put me in this state. Ever since Dr. Perkins became a dentist, I have been going to him regularly. I live in NYC… yes, I plan my visits with family and include a trip to see Dr. Perkins. Before I started going to him, I only went to the dentist in an emergency or every couple of years for a cleaning, and all of my other dentists were rough and mean to me. Dr. Perkins is kind and gentle, and doesn’t make me feel silly for overreacting to every instrument put near my mouth.

Dr. P really helped me out when I experienced an awful tooth problem. I had developed a serious infection as a result of a botched root canal. I went from dentist to dentist, but no one was able to resolve the problem or relieve the pain. A friend told me about Dr. Perkins and he had me come into the office immediately – even though it was after his regular office hours. He got rid of the infection, referred me to a good specialist for another procedure to make sure the problem wouldn’t recur, and followed up with me on the weekend when he was off duty. I really felt like I was being taken care of.
Dr. P has been my dentist for more than 8 years now, and I have not had any new problems with my teeth. If and when I do experience another dental problem, I feel assured that Dr. P and his office staff (who are friendly and personable) will help me.
I have referred many friends and colleagues to him, and they all became loyal patients. The office is modest (not at all fancy) and Dr. Perkins and his staff really know their patients and run a casual yet professional office.
Nobody loves going to the dentist, but going to Dr. Perkins makes it a hell of lot easier. He’s nice, makes sure you’re comfortable, explains everything he’s doing, and talks to you to distract you while he’s doing the work. The office staff have you fill out a postcard before you leave and they mail it to you before your next appointment. It’s a great system so you stay on track with your regular cleanings.
I highly recommend Dr. Perkins.
