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.

I trust Dr. Purcell, he is on top of your health issues and shows it every time I go.

Dr Purcell, performs endoscopy on me regularly to monitor my Barretts esophagus condition. I must have had 8 or more, never any issues with those or colonoscopies. I credit him with saving my life because he ordered a CT of my abdomen to check on what were presumed hemangiomas in my liver, because he wanted to make sure that's all they were. Well, they were indeed that, but they incidentally found my kidney had a tumor, and thanks to Dr Purcell's thoroughness, tumor was acted upon in time.

I have seen Dr. Purcell for many years. He is the kindest, most thorough doctor I have ever seen. Many years ago he would be running very far behind schedule (sometime hours) but he was worth the wait. With the PA's helping out there is never a wait time anymore.
