Dr Purdy is terrific! She patiently took the time to understand my medical issues comprehensively. It was apparent that she had reviewed my medical record before she walked in the door for my first appointment. She was informative, and took the time to review all the information and answer questions. She made me feel as though I had a partner in the battle with thus disease.

I am writing this review because I can never find reviews I can trust for doctors and because I wish that someone had reviewed this physician before I ended up going to see her. I saw Dr. Purdy a few years ago when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy. I am sure she knew what she was doing from a medication management and treatment point of view because everything went well, apart from the pain and inconvenience related to the condition that is. But her bedside manner left a lot to be desired. I found her too abrupt and not empathetic at all. She phrased things very harshly, and at times I felt that she was trying to scare me into complying with the treatment. I feel that my experience with the diabetes could have been so much better with a physician who understood the emotional underpinnings that often accompany any medical illness. That was a difficult time for me, and Dr. Purdy did not help the situation at all.
