Dr. Purkert put me very at ease during my thyroid cancer journey. His bedside manner was very calming and he is definitely the premier thyroid surgeon in NOVA. My surgery went on without a hitch and I am cancer free today.

It took quite some time to get an appointment with Dr. Purkert which I believe is because he is so highly regarded. For that reason, I had expected my visit to be rushed and to feel like I was just another number. This could not have been further from the reality of my visit. Dr. Purkert treated me like I was the only patient he had and explained everything about my condition and the planned surgery. I will definitely recommend Dr. Purkert!

I had a thyroidectomy, and luckily it was scheduled with Dr. Purkert. Very nice man, explains everything surgery very well...all the details and why it needs to be done. He did a great job with my incision, scar is very tiny. I ended up having papillary carcinoma of the thyroid... so very happy I got it done! He also removed 3 lymph nodes that were cancerous, which was great for him to check because I would've had to have had surgery again in the future if he didn't remove them.
