Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr.Purdy is the best!She goes a long way for you!
At my first visit she listen to me, she understood my issue, she didn’t dismiss my complaints. After so many years I got right diagnosis. Dr. Purdy will go a long way for her patient !

Doesn’t respond to phone calls. When she does respond, does so with careless platitudes.

Dr. Purdy manages to combine her deep knowledge of endocrinology and general medicine with an excellent bedside manner. Unlike many doctors, She gives a thorough examination to her patients. She listens well and gives clear instructions and medical advice. I have referred my son to her. Enough said.

I believe in Dr. Purdy 100% She has been my doctor for a long time and she knows a lot of things related to thyroid. I gave my daughter a referral to see her as well.

Dr. Purdy was essential in my being able to carry my son to term. She has a great bed side manner. She coaches rather than preaches about how to manage your diabetes. I would recommend her over and over.

Dr Purdy is the epitome of what ever physician should be. She is patient, kind, a wonderful listener and truly takes time with her patients. I only see her once a year for a Thyroid CA check, but my interaction with her each time is highly satisfactory. A wonderful physician. Her staff is highly professional and pleasant also. Kudos to the whole office!

Very frustrated by incompetent service through Dr. Purdy/her office. When I was pregnant with my 1st child, I had issues with thyroid and vitamin D levels, which I was on medication for. With my 2nd child, I had an appt and blood taken. I was prescribed with Thyroid medication but was told that I did not have a vitamin D deficiency. 5 months into my 2nd pregnancy, I was told that they never tested for VD! As it turns out that I should have been prescribed with medication bc I have low VD levels!
