5 /5 Catherine Griffin Catherine: I am a patient of Dr. Purdeys and have been for several years. I always enjoy a visit to his practice, not just because of the historic home in which the practice is located but because of the level of care I receive from Dr. Purdey. The main reason that I see Dr. Purdey is because of previous bad experiences with other painful dentists. They rushed through injections and wouldnt wait for the pain medicine to fully numb me. Dr. Purdey is always patient and never starts his work until I am fully numb. Now I can relax as I get my dental work done...something that I had never experienced with any other dentist! He explained that he was trained in dental school for an entire year by the gentleman who literally wrote the book on pain-free dentistry. It certainly shows! I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist...as long as I am seeing Dr. Purdey.
