I have seen, I believe every other doctor in the practice, but this was my first time seeing Dr. Purcell and it was a truly lovely experience. I felt like my concerns were heard and taken seriously. He had great recommendations, and we formed a plan to go forward with that gives me confidence he wants to work with me to find a solution for what's currently going on. He was also very easy to talk to, kind, and everything you would hope for in the doctor you are trusting your health with

I've been a patient of Dr Purcell for over 18yrs and he is simply the best. He is very personable and will take as much time as it takes to answer any questions & explain things. I never feel rushed and can feel he truly cares.
