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.

Dr. Purmer is an amazing physician. He is thorough, professional, friendly and dedicated to his patients. He is a great listener paired with an easygoing nature.

If you care about yourself or let’s say you care to stay alive- run from that doctor. Than sooner than better. In my particular case i ve been his patient for several year and any careless laid back simply unresponcible behavior he could have made he did. He never explained me my conditions or what i shall do or , what to expect etc. totally careless. Neither to say his office did ever retained my medical records - all incomplete and disorganized. As an example this ‘doctor’ cleared me for wrist surgery with INR 3.5 thinking its OK. surgeon refuse to operate so i was send home to properly bridge. And this was not worst thing overall. I took care of it by changing that doctor and hospital, got proper treatment and i am ok but don't make my mistake. Runt till its late.

A great doctor taking time to explain tests and procedures. He did an angiogram through my wrist instead of the groin. What a difference for recovery time. Always sees me when I experiance chest pain. Thanks Doc !
