Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2023
I know Dr. Purvez from working with him at the Center for Pain Management as the Manager of that department. I now know him as my Pain Management provider. He is always patient and has tremendous knowledge in his field. He has helped me with so many options. I have had epidurals and have been very pleased with his results and techniques. I have severe scoliosis as well as stenosis and many bulging discs so my life is quite limited most of the time. He has provided some much needed relief and I look forward to a possible peripheral nerve stimulator implant. Note, I really do look forward to that. Pain destroys all aspects of your life.
