What Our Patients Say
“It’s very rare when you come across a physician that actually takes his time.”
It’s very rare when you come across a physician that actually takes his time.
He’s not worried about the clock and he listens to what you have to say while you describe whatever your issues are. He’s very in-depth, very thorough and it was an excellent experience as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been through the wringer with doctors and clinics. 10 stars all the way:) I recommend him to everybody!!!

Dr. Helmen was truly awesome!
He took the time to listen to the frustration and issues I was having with my tinnitus and hearing. I never felt like he was in a hurry to get to the next patient, and felt like he really cared about my treatment and outcome, more than ANY specialist I’ve seen for this and any other medical problem I’ve encountered. I highly recommend him.
- DM
It was a pleasure to have an appointment With Dr.Perkins.
Her resume speaks for itself, and it is matched by her personality as demonstrated by her listening to, explaining to and making a plan for me, her patient. As a retired physician, I am sorry to say that this is not always demonstrated by younger physicians who as a result are missing out on the joy that comes from interpersonal reactions with their patients in addition to their tremendous technical skills.
