Lawrence F Perkins, DDS, Inc

There are only a few things in life that truly freak me out, and seeing a dentist tops the list. I managed to avoid seeing one for nearly 15 years until my crown popped out late one afternoon. Despite it being very close to closing hours, Dr. Santoro kindly saw me at the last minute. He is a very skilled, gentle, and, most importantly, a calming dentist. His demeanor, personality, and interaction are all very soothing and made me feel completely at ease. Unfortunately, my 15 years of dodging the dentist requires more work than just replacing my crown, but for the first time ever, I am actually looking forward to seeing a dentist again — so long as it is Dr. Santoro. I strongly recommend Dr. Santoro for those who are too scared of seeing a dentist. After one visit with him, you will wonder why you feared dentists in the first place!

Coming back to Dr. Perkins, particularly Rhonda as my hygienist. I learned that Dr. Perkins is semi-​retired (I guess that points out that I haven’t had a teeth cleaning lately!) and has taken on an associate, Dr. Santoro. Not having a strong relationship with Dr. Perkins, I was thrilled to meet and interact with Dr. Santoro through the evaluation and X-​rays to get me back in the saddle of good teeth care. I’m thrilled with both, and all of that staff are great to work with! You can not go wrong here, trust! Cheers Dr. Santoro and Rhonda :-)

My mother has been going to Dr. Perkins for 30 years and was always so happy with the excellent care she received. Recently, she was advised that she needed a tooth extraction by Dr. Perkins’s new associate, Dr. Santoro. She was extremely nervous about the procedure as she not had a tooth extracted since she was a teenager, which was some 40 odd years ago. Dr. Santoro explained everything so thoroughly, was so caring and empathetic, that my mom, who had originally wanted to be anesthetized for the procedure, changed her mind and let him proceed. The procedure took only about 2 minutes and my mom never felt a thing and had no pain whatsoever afterwords. In following in Dr. Perkins’s footsteps, Dr. Santoro has big shoes to fill and he is doing so in fine form.

The new office manager is amazing, Elsa is the best at making clients feel warm & welcomed. All of the oral hygienists take their time cleaning my teeth. And the dentists are very personable. I always leave with a bright big smile.

Dr. Perkins has known me all my life and is the dentist for my parents as well myself. He is the only dentist I trust. He is kind and gentle and he only does work on your teeth that is needed. I went to another dentist once and was in a world of hurt. I came right back to Dr. Perkins.

Excellent dentist! The office is lovely and has really cute décor with comfortable couches in the waiting room. The oral hygienists are gentle and can really put you at ease if you’re a little shy around needles, such as myself. The only real gripe I have is regarding their office hours and appointments. They’re usually booked atleast a month in advance and they don’t have any weekend or evening appointments. If you work full-​time like most of us its pretty impossible to get the most out of this office when its so hard to make the time for an appointment. Overall, amazing Dental office. Definitely recommend it!
