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.

Heavily overprescribes medications and does not explain potential side effects (including long term use). Long story short, make an appointment with a psychologist that actually cares about his profession and his patients.

Dr. Purvis is the reason I was able to work through some of the most difficult times of my life. He genuinely cares about his patients. I could call him at any time of day and he would respond. I have been seeing him since 2001. You can't find a finer doctor anywhere.
