When I didn't immediately agree to Dr Purdy's treatment advice, he refused to follow me and sent a letter stating that I was being dropped. "The decision to terminate the provider patient relationship was made due to non-adherence to our Appointment Cancellation Policy which you signed and acknowledged at your initial visit." If this is true, he has billed my insurance for appointments that didn't take place thereby engaging in Medicare fraud. Dr. Purdy also complained to me about having to have a nurse in the room for a breast exam -, in 2024. I believe he is thin-skinned, petty and spiteful and do not recommend him. Bad behavior all around.

The most positive Dr I go to besides my primary doctor, the two together are amazing both encouraging me to do the the things I do at my age is reassuring to my that I should continue and don’t look back. I’m 80 years young still rowing my river drift boat, catching a bunch of fish and sleeping like a baby at the end of day. Thank you Dr Purdue.

I have found that Dr Purdy cares about his patients; reviewing my records thoroughly and having a plan backuped with all the reasons why this is the course of action to take have made me appreciate and value his medical expertise immensely.

My husband and I have known Dr. Purdy personally for years and when Bob came down with stage 4 prostrate cancer our choice of Oncologist was naturally Dr. Purdy. He was gracious enough to fit us into his busy schedule quickly and have been with him for the last nearly 4 years through the thick and thin of the progression of the disease. His expertise and honesty in Bob's ongoing evaluations has made this journey less stressful and we are always able to have at least one laugh together no matter how the situation has changed. We are blessed to have him on our side and trust his judgement.

Dr. Purdy is exceptional. He has the ability - and the concern - to find the root cause of a problem so that he is treating the real illness and not just the symptoms. Truly rare.

Ladies up front I absolutely adore as soon as you walk in they welcome you with warm smiles and big hearts. That being said no matter what your being seen for you should be treated with dignity Dr Purdy only saw him one time out of my visits and then never really understood the nurse practioner at the other appointments so I'm still confused about so much. Then I had issues and called for two weeks the Dr never even had the decency to call me back I was treated like I didn't matter I still feel that way I guess it is what it is can't make people care about other people if they just don't want to. Regardless of DX I'm still a person with a right to medical care
