Patient Reviews
May 01, 2025
Excellent.Initial experience was of an emergency nature. He literally saved my life. Upon discharge, I’ve seen Dr.Purpura semi-annually. If needed, he allows a ‘ telemedicine’ visit due to my mobility issues .I could go on about the professional attributes of Dr. Purpura but suffice it to say he is an excellent physician!
