Dr. Purcell though he says he’s in the 60s now looks like he’s in the early 40s. He’s been our doctors for over 25 years. He has given us the best care especially with pain. He wants his patience to be healthy well and out of pain. He’s a wonderful human being and example of what a doctor should be. We are so blessed to have him. God bless Dr Joseph Purcell. Thank you for everything you do for our family.
