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.

For someone who specializes in rheumatology, she clearly has no understanding of what seronegative RA means. I was diagnosed with imaging that showed unquestionable RA damage. It was seen by a radiologist, 3 different rheumatologists and my podiatrist, so it's definitely there. She sent me away without my meds and told me to come back in 6 months, even though I was struggling daily with pain and fatigue. Her office people are very nice though.

did not follow through
Did not examine me while in Oak Hill and did not make sure I got a visit from a cardologist and did not follow through with a PT scan. I had to leave the hospital AMA to get proper care. Very scary for me and other patients who fall through very wide cracks because of non caring doctors and Oak Hill policies.

Dr Purish is NOT a good doctor. She is lazy and does not go the mile it takes to make a patient feel comfortable. She lied to social security and by her lies or lack of truth, my world was turned upside down. She likes to deal with men better then women. Her treatment has went down hill since she was my grandmothers doctor. I have left her unethical practice and pray that soon she is removed from being a doctor.
