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.

Visited Dr. Purchase when son was complaining of pain. Dr Purchase was very responsive and is a very caring, understanding and intuitive provider.

I went to see Dr. Purchase for a swollen knee. He patiently explained what the problem could be, and after the necessary exams, he detailed the therapy options indicated for my type of injury and answered all my questions. I appreciate the time and level of care he took with the treatment, very thorough and definitively knowledgeable. His staff was very nice to deal with. I highly recommend him.

He was thorough, to the point, and the surgery was so successful that after the arthroscopy I never used crutches, walked a mile five days later, three miles ten days later, and didn't need physical therapy! This man is a genius! By the way, I am 80 years old....

Dr. Purchase knows his craft. I had knee surgery in June 2018. Later that year shoulder surgery. Today 04/19/2019, I am driving and attending my classes. I did not spend one night in the hospital. Dr's like Dr. Purchase bring respect back to the medical field. My referral to Dr. Purchase was written by another respected man in the medical field, my primary Dr. Feldman. Both physicians I have high respect for. Thank you Dr. Purchase..

I've seen quite a few Orthapedic Surgeons in my day (2 knees and 4 total surgeries), and Dr. Purchase is far and away the best I've run into. I almost NEVER write reviews...for anything, but Dr. Purchase was such a treat to deal with, and he simply never limited our discussion time, it made me feel like I was being pushed aside on behalf of the next appointment...that and I think his knees suffer from too many sports as a kid like my own, so we bond on that level for sure. Two thumbs up!!

Great doctor, and cool guy to boot! Dealt with my shoulder issue in a way that was measured ( Try doing these changes first to see if it gets better after a few weeks) and responsive ( ok, that didn't work, time to try something more) . No regrets.??

I met with Dr. Purchase and as soon as I met him there was a comfort level based on his sincerity and knowledge. We discussed what to expect after the repair of my injury and I believe we spoke of 60-65% is what he felt comfortable with after reviewing the MRI , X-rays etc. Dr Purchase got 95% , my PT Dr said he has NEVER seen the ability with the useI was given by DR. Purchase. I'm 58 years young and I owe Dr. Purchase the use of my shoulder , I will never forget , Thank You
