“Amazing technology available at the clinic. Great confident practitioners. Rebuilt my friend’s inner ear… Can now hear after 10 years deafness! I flew in from my home in CT – near Yale. I’ll take servers. MD was available by appointment.” – Nicholas Varzos
“My experience with Dr.Purcell has been excellent, he treated me with so much care and respect. He is totally dedicated to helping people and help with their problem. He helped make sense for what was happening to me, and was I diagnosed with Vestibular chronic injury. After extensive tests, it’s been determined that the most beneficial treatment is Physical therapy, which has helped tremendously. He loves his profession and it shows. Great Doc and worth more than 5 stars!” – Marge Cunningham

REVIEWS:
“Such a nice soft spoken gentleman. That is rarely seen these days, at least by me with my Son who has Autism and is the patient. He did not miss a beat on the “odd behavior”. Just because you have M.D. behind your name does not mean you have a ability with folks. Dr. Grisolia does. He is so nice and kind. Excellent doctor.” – Amy Kitchens
“My father got admitted here in obviously short notice emergency. The front staff were very nice obviously a wait time. The back staff were extremely nice and really sounded like they wanted my dad better. For me it is extremely important for the nurses to treat everyone like how they would want to be treated. Although we have to do follow up appointments and I mean a lot of them I do look forward seeing these caring nurses. Thank you for bettering my dads life.” – Delia Robertson
