Patient Reviews
Dec 07, 2024
Dr. Purcell is so efficient and thorough he explained each detail of my shoulder issues so clearly I could understand him. I had surgery from him many years ago and it went very smoothly. I'm now looking at another surgery and I wouldn't consider anyone but Dr. Purcell. I feel relaxed and confident that I am in the best hands with Dr. Purcell.
