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.

Do not recommend
Dr. Purdy's interpretation of BCI test results was at odds with all available information from Biotheranostics and published research. I therefore opted for a second opinion out of state.Prior to the appointment I read all the background research conducted on the test along with information provided by the company. I also talked to a pathologist at Biotheranostics. When I didn't immediately agree to his treatment advice, Dr. Purdy refused to 'follow me' and sent a letter stating that I was being dropped.'The decision to terminate the provider patient relationship was made due to non-adherence to our Appointment Cancellation Policy which you signed and acknowledged at your initial visit.' NOT TRUE. His notes from my two appointments are on MyChart. If true, he has billed my insurance for appointments that didn't take place.The second opinion corroborated what I had learned from published research. They also found Dr Purdy's behavior to be unprofessional and unfair.

Methodical and careful in diagnosis
Dr. Purdy talked with me and listened thoughtfully. I appreciated that he took the time to explain different possibilities of my diagnosis and educate me about various tests that would determine if I needed to be treated for a disease.

Excellent, Top Notch Hematologist
Dr. Malcolm Purdy always goes above and beyond. He genuinely cares about his patients. Dr Purdy not only deals with my polycythemia issues but always double checks any other health issues to make sure my overall health is taken care of. I highly recommend Dr Purdy to anyone who is looking for a Hematologist or Blood Cancer Doctor. I would choose him as my primary if that were an option. Thanks Dr. Purdy!!! Ray

Dr. Purdy has been my oncologist for 17 years. He treats each patient as an individual. He is always willing to listen, keeps up on new research and findings, and is always supportive. I could not have asked for a better oncologist to guide me through my two-time journey with cancer.

I was very fortunate to get an appointment with Dr. Purdy. I appreciate the fact that he lets you know what he is thinking about each issue that is raised. He is very thorough and seems to be knowledgeable about auto immune issues along with cancer issues. He thoroughly tests before making a complete evaluation. I highly recommend him.
