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.

This doctor only cares about money. She forced me into an induction claiming it was routine for gestational diabetes my child had no issues and was no overweight. She milked my insurance and had me in the hospital 3 days then forced me into an emergency c section. After my six week check up she denied me services with no warning. To my sistas she is not for us at all.

Dr. Purcell is amazing! She helped see me through one of the toughest times in my life. She cares so much about her patients. I’m so glad she’s still servicing the west side of Kaua’i.

I chose Dr. Purcell based on reviews like these. I drive 30-40 minutes to see and pay parking. It is worth the time. I get great bedside manner and kind and friendly staff. I feel comfortable with sharing information and she is forward with realistic information. She’s kind herself. You’re not rushed and you feel like you got answers or options.

I first saw Dr. Purcell when I was in town visiting family and had a severe kidney infection while 7 months pregnant. I wasn't even a patient but she took me in right away and monitored me over the next week. When I moved back to Houston I go to her for my yearly check-up. She is amazing. She listens to your concerns and takes time to address any issues or questions. I would highly recommend her.
