Dr. Perkins treated a hospitalized member of my family with a neurological problem not too long ago. His lack of compassion for my family member was unacceptable. Once diagnosed, instead of coming up with viable treatment options (for which there were several) for my family member, his plan was to do absolutely nothing! He was hostile and arrogant with our family on a daily basis as he made rounds. He was unwilling to answer questions about our loved one's health and future prognosis without snide sarcastic responses. His unprofessionalism was appalling and honestly, had me in tears. For someone who claims to read his Bible and incorporate his faith into his medical practice, he did not exhibit an ounce of true compassion or Christian love. Ultimately, I had to go to hospital administration, report his behavior and get my loved one transferred out from under his care in order to get the care that was needed. Thank goodness most of the other doctors at Raleigh Neurology are not only knowledgeable, but kind, compassionate and caring. I will refuse any further interactions with Dr. Perkins in the future and suggest that he be avoided.
