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.

A very good physician.
Takes the time to explain things and is compassionate and caring. Goes for Dr. Purcell and his staff. Highly recommend.

Follow Up Exam From Surgery
As he has in other exams Dr. Purcell sat down, did not rush anything and asked about me personally before he got into the clinical discussion. We discussed how I was recovering, any problems, etc. He went into next steps and set a date to meet again and what we expected to discuss at that visit. Dr. Purcell asked again if there was anything else we needed to discuss and asked if I was aware of changes in Medicare prescription delivery and what I should do to make sure there were no delays in my meds.
