I’m not sure I would use Zoc Doc again. Someone from the office had to call me to reschedule my appointment because ZocDoc didn’t get the correct times.

Dr. Purcell is probably the most personal and kind MD I have ever had.
Whilst professional and astute to my health, he is also someone I find easy to talk to about my symptoms.
Thanks Doc.

Dr. Purcell had been my doctor for over 25 yrs. I moved out of state and just returned.....and happily I was able to locate him and start seeing him again. He is caring, listens, and then discusses any concerns you may have. He is the best GP/Family Practitioner I've ever known. I live an hour away from his practice, but it's more than worth the travel time to have him as my doctor.
More than 1 year agoCarin B.Verified patient
Nice visit, especially for a first-time patient. All the paperwork was done ahead of the visit. The doctor asked good questions and my prescriptions were ready when I went to the pharmacy, meaning they were submitted promptly by the doctor's office.
