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.

Dr. Purcell was very attentive and very thorough and very understanding of my situation

So far i have interactions with both, Kelly and Dr. Purcell. Both experiences were very good. Kelly is a pleasure to work with, she keeps you informed and explains everything in terms you understand. My visit with Dr. Purcell was equally good. He was thorough and laid out plan treatment plan, he made me feel very comfortable with my choice of using them for my medical needs. I am excited to work with them!

Very very, Positive. At no time was I rushed. Dr Purcell kept asking me multiple questions about my concerns. After a long time, he spoke about the beginning about solutions. Not a quick fix but a step by step in getting to the root cause. Very Satisfied

I'm really glad I found Dr. Purcell. I never felt rushed during my initial consultation, and felt like he cared about diagnosing my knee pain and identifying the appropriate treatment. He listened, answered all my questions patiently, and gave me a few options for next steps, never directing me to one option over another, just telling me to choose the one I felt comfortable with. I opted to get imaging so he could see exactly what was going on, and when he received the results, he called me personally to go over them and suggest treatment options (Didn't even need to schedule a follow up appt. for the results). In a world of 5 minute appts. with doctors that are too busy to listen, Dr. Purcell stands apart as a provider that really cares.
