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.

I love her so much
I wish I could clone Dr. Purcell so every doctor I see is as amazing as she is. She is smart, kind, and thorough. Her team got me through a high-risk complicated pregnancy, delivered my miracle daughter, saved my life during an emergency ruptured ectopic, and has treated me with compassion during other obstacles. I truly value her opinion and medial judgment and feel I am in capable hands with Dr. Purcell, which gives me peace of mind. Thank you for being you!

I was diagnosed with high grade abnormalities on my cervix this past year and ended up needing a LEEP procedure. It was a very scary experience but Dr. Purcell explained everything to me in detail and was very patient with my questions. Even though it was a scary thing I felt I was in good hands. I really appreciate her!

Dr. Purcell did a great job giving me necessary information at my pre-surgery appointment. I also thought she and her staff gave me great support at the hospital before, during and after my oophorectomy surgery.

Considerate, takes time to get to know you/ ask you how you are doing (and remembers details of what you talked about last time). Great bedside manner for Pap smears - talks through ever step with you before she does it. She makes me feel comfortable and cared for. Nurses at the office are really friendly too
