What our patients say
Here's what people are saying about us!
I had a great experience. The Cerec system let them get my tooth drilled and replaced in about 2 hours.

Dr. Blake-
Thank you so much for a totally pain-free, stress-free visit. I actually was able to enjoy my quiet time and get in a few minutes of meditation. Imagine that! Meditating while in the dentist’s chair! Mucho gracias!
-Dr. M.
Hey Doc-
You’re a great man with a needle! Thanks for the cookie.

Dear Dr. Perkins,
I want to thank you and your staff for the excellent service I received I especially wanted to say how impressed I was with your hygienist, Jennifer. Her knowledge and expertise was very impressive and she helped me understand how to better care for my teeth. I felt like everyone had my best health in mind.
Sincerely,
Karen D.
Let me start by saying that I was one of those who used to fear the sights and sounds of a dentist office as a result of experiences at a very young age. After my third treatment visit with Dr. Perkins I have done a full turn around. I look forward to my appointments now, with the anticipation of walking out with a bigger and brighter smile, and healthier truth. I only wish I had met Dr. Perkins and his wonderful staff earlier, but then again I wouldn’t be seeing them as much now if I did. Thank you all very much for the great care you’ve provided my family and the personal attention we enjoy during our visits.
-John T.
My experience with Dr. Perkins and his staff has always been wonderful. The staff has been very helpful with any questions that I have had. Dr. Perkins is a very knowledgeable dentist who is also easy to talk about my questions and concerns. It is a pleasant experience to go to the dentist when you feel you are among friends.
-Erin E.
For 3-4 years I have been upset about the look of my teeth. I had a bad experience 5 years ago when a dentist extracted the wrong tooth and to had have three implants. Anyway, after talking to Dr. Perkins I was encouraged about getting to the end of this battle. Today, knowing I was going to be here for 3-3 hours I was a little nervous. But it went wonderfully! I was never in any pain and the time went by quickly! And I am extremely pleased with the results. I look forward to getting the rest of my work done! Thank you Blake and staff!
- Kris B.
The Invisalign process is a simple, effective way to get excellent orthodontia results. It is painless, nearly invisible and easy. I recommend it for anyone. Dr. Perkins and his team answer all your questions and keep you informed throughout the process it has been the best “best” dental experience I’ve ever been through.
Sincerely,
Phil D.

I want to thank Dr. Perkins and his wonderful staff. It has been twenty years since I’ve been to the dentist. They all made me feel so comfortable and their kindness was overwhelming. I feel like I’ve gained not only a dentist but a family as well. Thank you so much!

-Tina L.
Dr. Blake Perkins and his caring helpful staff, you make the world a beautiful place. Thank each and every one of you.
-Bessie L.
This was my fourth crown. This was the easiest with no pain or discomfort. The simplest procedure. Thanks.
I am so glad to have a dentist who is a perfectionist like I am. What a great job you did! I am very grateful for everything you are doing. It is also great that both you and your staff are the kindest and most fun people in the industry. Thank you! Thank you!
Dr. Perkins,
This letter is in regard to my most recent visit to your office. Several weeks ago I cam in for my regular cleaning and accidentally forgot my toothbrush, floss, etc. It did not occur to me until the next day that I had forgotten these things, but before I even dad a chance to call, Jennifer went out of her way to bring these items I had forgotten to my work. She went out of her way, without being asked and I believe that it’s a tribute to her strong sense of customer service and patient care. Her actions went above and beyond. I appreciated her gesture and as her employer, I thought you should know what an outstanding employee you have! Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jim M.
Fantastic! It turned out great. The staff is great!!! Doctor Perkins is fantastic!!!
-Frank L.
You make my smile bigger every time I leave here. I always feel at home. I love this staff and of course the doc! Thanks for everything you have done for me!
Big hugs and lots of love
- Jennifer!
I so appreciate how gentle J. Blake Perkins was. He took time to explain to me exactly what was going on and what he was doing. He had very nice manners and showed great compassion. It is so good to have a nice dentist that cares!
-Sandy C.
I needed help today – Dr. Perkins and April not only fit me in, but made my dental experience enjoyable- Thanks!
Micheal G.
The care and people at Today's Family Dentistry are wonderful. After our first visit we felt like family.
-Rachel F.
I really appreciate all the great work that Dr. Perkins and his staff do. I can always count on a gentle and professional experience. Thank you.
My visit was painless and efficient.
You were right…it was LESS painful then a Linguistics exam. :o)
My dental work today was a Cerec Crown. It was the first time for me to have one done and was a much, much better way to be done then with the older crowns. Dr. Perkins and April were great to me and were done in under two hours.
