Dr. David D. Purlee DDS opened his office in 1984. My entire family has gone there ever since. Dr. Purlee and his entire staff are the best in Illinois! My daughters moved out of the area and have tried other dentists but they travel from Orion, IL and from Clinton, IA to go to the best dentist! He even did braces on my daughters! I have recommended Dr. Purlee to lots of people; he's the best! His staff is always friendly, accommodating, and efficient. ALWAYS A SMILE in that office!

My first visit was above and beyond. I had a crown fall off and I had my teeth cleaned and both were done in a professional way. The whole staff is friendly and helpful when it comes to my dental needs. Small town care really makes one appreciate what is offered! No need to drive to the bigger cities. Exceeded my expectation's!

I think this office is very professional and the best dentist I have ever been to. Pulled a broken tooth that I thought I would have had to go to a surgeon for. I'm impressed!!

My son had a cleaning and Purlee said he had to come back for a filling. Some food must have gotten stuck between 2 teeth and made a big cavity. I scheduled the appt to get it fixed. After the 2nd appt Purlee said "all done" and told me to schedule another one to fix his filling. I was confused. I asked Purlee what he did during this 2nd appt and he said he put sealants on bottom molars. I told him this appt was to specifically fix the filling that he told me about. Purlee was visibly mad and said he didn't have time and moved onto his next patient. He was rude and so was the dental hygienist. I asked why he didn't fix the cavity that I came in to get fixed and he dodged my question. After he left the room the hygienist didn't even offer my son a prize out of the prize box which all dentists do. My son was well behaved and Purlee and the hygienist even told him he did an excellent job but after I questioned them they became rude and that's why my son wasn't given a prize.. They walked away without saying goodbye or anything at all. Worst experience ever. Very unprofessional! Don't go to this dentist. They think they can get away with doing extra procedures without notifying the parent first. Save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere.
