What our patients say

Here is what patients are saying about Dr. Purchase.

Dr. Purchase is the real deal...he is the most down to earth doctor I’ve ever had, and 5 months later, my clavicle scar is barely noticeable.

A.T., Clavicle injury

I was referred to Dr. Purchase after a catastrophic knee dislocation suffered while skiing at Heavenly...I was lucky to be wearing a helmet. And even luckier to have him on my team. His approach is equal measures methodical and personal. He's an empathetic, intuitive perfectionist who knows his stuff.

R.O., Knee Injury

...what impressed me as much as his surgical and medical skills was the caring, intelligent and warm human being Dr. Purchase is. He reminded me of the best doctors I met growing up in the '50s, who once upon a time treated all of their patients as if the clock stood still and they were family or friends.
