Dr Purcell and her staff not only provide accurate diagnoses but also provide excellent care and follow up. Each staff member is kind and attentive.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2021-04-21

Called this practice because I had been there to have my shoulder looked at in 2019. That visit went fine.  When I called about seeing a doctor today, before anything was even mentioned to me about what my problem was, or if they could help I was greeted by a lady that informed me i had to be a part of a special group to even see this doctor, which would require a $1800 dollar a year membership fee. Currently looking into how legal this is.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2018-03-14

Dr. Purcell has been my Primary Doctor for over 15 years. You couldn't ask for a better Physician with genuine concern, care and knowledge. If you are searching for a new Primary Doctor she is who you need. I have been extremely blessed to have her and her staff as my main overall health care.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2017-01-31

Dr. Purcell took over the practice of my long-time doctor quite a few years ago. How extremely fortunate for me. She is friendly, attentive, and has a knack for surrounding herself with wonderful people in the office. I couldn't imagine seeing another doctor!
