I think that she is ahead of her peers. I would not be where I am today with out seeing Dr Purcell. She has not only given me back my life and my health but she saved my life. There are no words to describe how thankful I am, that I am a patient of hers and the clinic.

I have been under the care of Dr. Purcell for a couple years now. The thought that I would lose 100 lbs. and keep it off was something that I previously thought was unrealistic. NOT TRUE! The office staff, nurses and Dr. Purcell have supported me and my family through this journey. I have two beautiful daughters who also sought care and have reached their goal weights. It brings my heart joy to see them comfortable in their skin again. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone that needs to lose weight.

My experience with Dr. Purcell has been amazing! She is on the cutting edge of weight loss medicine and has a deep understanding of how your body is working and reacting to the treatment.

I've saw other doctors for weight management, but Dr. Purcell has truly been the one to help me be successful at changing my lifestyle and losing weight!

“This has been a life changing experience.”

My experience has been a lot of hard work and reeducating my self about food and health. Dr Purcell and her team have been amazing and very supportive on my journey. I know I am not done and my journey will be for life. But during my time, I have gone from a size 22-24 pant size down to a size 8-10. I feel amazing and much happier in my life and can enjoy this with my family.

I can actually say, I look forward to each visit I have with her. It never fails, I learn something from her and am Inspired before I leave.

“Absolutely fantastic!”

Superb care, despite my occasional lapses in following the plan...

“Beyond my expectations!”

I had really given up on the thought I could ever lose a significant amount of weight. For years my goal has been to maintain an unhealthy me without sliding farther down (or up) the scale. 62 lbs in 4 1/2 months and I have eaten more than I have in years. Thank you, thank you! Best decision I have made in years!

Dr. Purcell is willing to listens to my concerns and addresses them with solutions that I can understand. She encourages me by reminding me how far I've come & that there's not a "set number" I'm shooting for that's unreasonable. She provides the resources I need for success.

It's always a mixed feeling coming to see Dr. Purcell. I'm usually nervous coming in to see her because I never know whether I"ll be scolded or not (lol).

“Dr Purcell”

Dr. Purcell has changed my life. Before I became her patient I was overweight, exhausted, starting to have high blood pressure, joint pain, and the list goes on. I have been seeing her for 8 months. I have lost 60 pounds, have more energy, sleep better, and I don't feel deprived. I have learned about sugar and insulin and what it does to your body. I can't thank Dr. Purcell enough for everything she has done. I have a new life and it is amazing!

“On my way to healthy!!”

The first step is the hardest...but you know that because you've tried everything before finding Dr. Purcell. Knowledge is power and it's a great feeling knowing the past failures were NOT caused by lack of willpower or motivation..there is a chemical reason!!

I'll never regret the knowledge I've gained and the way I feel after becoming a patient of Dr. Purcell's. I'm down 70+ lbs..and continuing toward my goal... I can't wait to see where I end!

“Can't Believe My Results”

I never would have believed that I would be a completely different person in only 9 months. When I started with Dr. Purcell I never believed that I could accomplish everything that she said I could. With her guidance and support with advice and recommended reading I have turned myself around. I now listen to everything she says and concentrate on doing the best I can. Thank you for everything. I look forward to my next meeting.

“This physician is phenomenal.”

I appreciate Dr. Purcell's knowledge and how much it clearly means to her to know her patients understand their health.

“Weight Loss Journey”

I started this journey in October 2017. Since then I have learned so much from Dr Purcell about how the body processes glucose and the keto diet. I am down about 45 pounds now and she is helping me to remove the impacts of all the visceral fat. I feel great and a lot of my aches and pains have been reduced. This method of weight loss and Dr Purcell's program are great.

“Wonderful”

I absolutely love coming in to see Dr. Purcell. Very motivating, encouraging and straight to the point.

“Truly life changing....”

Dr. Purcell is the first doctor I have worked with that helps me understand exactly how I can improve my health, and I know she is in this for the long run with me. She teaches me and encourages me every step of the way. I am over the negative self talk that I will gain weight back and go back to my old self. I know I am on a forever path to improving and maintaining good health.

“Dr Purcell saved my life!”

I was referred to Capital Diabetes & Weight Loss Center in 2016, my diabetes was out of control, I was taking numerous medications and insulin shots, depressed, sick and weighed 252 lbs. Dr Purcell's knowledge, experience and individual hands on care, directed me to where I am today. I have control of my Diabetes, do not take insulin shots daily any more, my moods and depression has ceased, and I feel great. The staff is friendly and they care about their patients.

“Don't wait, go NOW!”

Dr. Purcell is a miracle worker. I have struggled with my weight my whole adult life. In 2009 I had my back fused which made me weight go higher. I was getting back injections every three months and I had to give up most of the fun things in life. 7 months after seeing her, I am down 48 pounds. I haven't had a back injection in a year, I am hiking, swimming, riding bikes- everything I love but had given up due to my weight and back pain. I can't say enough how much this has changed my life

“Life Changing”

Dr. Purcell and her staff have been game changers for me. I have learned about my body in so many ways and with that learned how to listen to my body when it comes to food and gastrointestinal issues in general. I am working towards a completely different me and it wouldn't be happening without Capital Diabetes and Weight Loss Center. Definitely happy I listened when another happy patient finally sat me down and told me of her great success.

She was very concerned about test results and my need for medication that will help my condidtion. She went to bat for me and provided me with practical advice, directions and aids. Excellent experience.

“Amazing and knowledgeable!”

Dr. Purcell has a wealth of knowledge and it's obvious she continues to do her research in order to give her patients the most up to date information.
I have been told by a few patients that she talks a bit fast for them but I just suggest they ask her to slow down or explain what she said because she is very open to receiving that kind of information. I think it's her enthusiasm to share with and help others that causes her to speed up. Her excitement to get the information out is infectious!

“great weight loss”

Since my very first meeting with DR Purcell she has really helped me understand the biochemical function of my body and it has really helped me to loos weight and become healthy overall. I feel very motivated to work hard after each visit.

Excellent. Helpful, supportive and knowledgeable.

“Life is NOW AmAzInG”

I've been on my journey with CD&WL for 18 months now. I've lost 130 pounds with their assistance, guidance, and support. I'm confident that if I have a question or concern I can call them and get an immediate response. I know that my results may not necessarily be typical but if each patient follows the guidelines they are given they will make progress. Life is about choices and we have to be willing to make the choice to put our forks down and pick our feet up.

“Fabulous!”

Absolutely amazing! Caring and knowledgeable!

“Amazing Team!”

I am so thankful for Dr. Purcell and her team. I have struggled with my weight for many years and have tried every eating plan known to man. With the help of Dr. Purcell and her team, I have not only lost weight, but more importantly I am a much healthier person. They are awesome!!

“A new lifestyle of eating & not just "another diet"”

The information given to me by CDWC has been life changing. I have found a way of life that not only am I losing
weight but I feel fabulous. I sleep better. The aching joints are gone. I have learned how to eat and lose weight and not feel hungry or feel deprived. This will and has become a lifestyle and not "just another diet!

“My Life has Changed in Eight Months”

I was sick and felt like I was dying at 41 years old when I came to see Dr. Purcell, just eight months ago. Since then I have lost over 100 pounds and have completely turned my life around. I feel 100% better in all aspects of my life. This is the first time in my life I haven't been hungry. Seeing results like this and feeling like I have my life back just motivates me further!

Dr. Purcell is highly skilled in educating me on the body functions of diabetes and how to support my body to completely get off insulin and bring my sugars down by eliminating body fat especially belly fat increasing muscle and lean at the same time. I'm so grateful for her turning my health around for the rest of my life and equipping me with tools and education to continue.

“Feeling worlds better!”

I finally made the decision to seek out support this year after having gestational diabetes 4 times, having pre-diabetic A1C numbers, and watching my father go through a kidney transplant due to diabetes. I'm so thankful I was connected with the Capital Diabetes & Weight Loss Center. I have learned a ton changed my eating habits, and as a result, changed my life.

“No MORE DIETS!”

I can't explain how healthy I feel. I have not felt this good and energetic for 20 years. The ability Dr.Purcell has to hone in on what my body needed to start burning fat is amazing to me. I am a medical professional and in spite of all my knowledge I struggled endlessly with weight loss. However, the support from the medicines, helped my body respond in a way I couldn't get it to do with just diet. I am happy with the eating plan and do not miss the carbs I so frequently indulged in!

“Dr Purcell MD and her staff at Capitol Diabetes are MY Angels!”

I weighed 194 lbs and my A1C was never at 7.6 before. It was always high around 10 and even 14 one time! Ive lost 25 lbs.and my new A1C is 7.6. I call Dr Purcell, Jessica her nutritionist nurse my angels. Her medical assistant Maggie is a gem along with the front desk staff Amanda and Stephanie. Everyone in this Dr office is so supportive and friendly with contagious positive attitudes. I highly recommend Capitol Diabetes and Weight loss Center to all potential clients.
They are literally helping me save my life!

“This place ROCKS!!!!”

Dr Purcell and her staff have been awesome in cheering me on and making sure I am comfortable with my program. I know I'm solely responsible and accountable for my progress, but they are always on my side providing me with options, alternatives, and resources. Even the not so positive feedback is positive because it keeps me going. I would not have been able to lose the 73 pounds without their help.

“Amazing results”

August 4, 2016 I started my weight loss journey. I would have never thought I would get to where I a currently am if you asked me 2 years ago. I had failed at every "weight loss" option I tried, basically starving myself to loose weight.
She has challenged me every step of the way and it has worked for me to keep me motivated. I recommend the work she does to all my friends asking me how i did and how can they change.

Thank you!!!!!

“Dr Purcell is a lifesaver. With her help, I have my energy back plus the body I had in my early twenties body. Yay!”

Dr Purcell is very detail oriented and explained exactly what is occurring with my health at each step of the way. All of her recommendations were accurate and helped me lose weight and regain my health.

“Spent lots of time explaining treatment”

Awesome

“Weight Lost”

I have been seeing Dr Purcell for just over a year. In that year I have lost 65 pounds and lowered my A1-C. I have felt very supported by Dr Purcell and her staff of nutritionists, nurses and receptions. I am so glad my primary care doctor referred me to Capital Diabetes & Weight Loss Center!

“Good information sharing”

Very informative

“proof is in the a1c”

I was very much skeptical of this process. I thought I had been trying hard to lose weight in the past but Dr. Shawna and her team showed me I could reach not only my weight loss goals but my a1c goal. I am excited to share this journey with my husband who also has been losing weight. My friends and family see a change in me not just the physical but the mental changes. I am feeling stronger and healthier each step.

“As always, very positive!”

Dr. Purcell is very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm is contagious!

“Outstanding diagnosis and followup.”

I have lost 31 lbs. in five months. i feel happy, healthy and energized. My high blood pressure is gone, my A1C is lower, my BMI is lower, I feel fantastic.

“Outstanding”

Dr. Purcell is Olympia's top Internal Medicine Doctors. She has been my primary care provider for the past three years and I've learned exactly what makes a great primary care provider. I have family history for cardiovascular disease and diabetes and what I appreciate the most about Dr. Purcell is that she teaches me about proper nutrition, work life balance, and how all of these factors play a key role in my overall health. Recently, my company informed me that I may have to relocate and I was happy to learn on my most recent visit with Dr. Purcell that she's exploring Telemedicine opportunities (e.g. mobile app / video based appointments). Dr. Purcell is energetic, caring, intelligent, and innovative so if you are looking for a provider that helps you establish accountability in a fun way, then she an ideal fit.

“I have hope again”

I had given up on ever getting healthy. I was 52 years old and dying of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Through a series of events I ended up with Dr. Purcell and her staff treating me. She grabbed my hands, looked me straight in the eye and said- "Rick, we can beat this, you are going to get healthy!" I didn't believer her at first, but now I have lost over 61 pounds, my A1C is coming down and I have hope again. I'm going to live to see my grand kids! I am so grateful to Dr. Purcell!

“Fantastic and comprehensive care!”

When first introduced to Dr. Purcell I was overweight and suffering with Type II diabetes. My previous physicians were excellent, but failed to trigger my motivation to undertake important changes. Not so with Dr. Purcell - she was extremely clear in explaining my medical issues and very, very comprehensive in her ongoing assessment of my body chemistry. She did in fact motivate me to lose weight and control my blood sugar, as well as other factors that impinge on my health. She is the best!

“Amazing!”

I cant say enough about Dr. Purcell, Thank you so much! Moving from NY and only being on Trulicity, which help get me from 230 to 187. But Dr. Purcell in a short 7 mths, knew the right key to active to get me even lower which is now 156 and more active and feeling great. She has been the best thing that has happened to me since being in WA.

“overall”

good

“better than great”

She is fantastic

“Amazing!”

Dr. Shawna has taught me so much over the last 3 years, not only about weight loss but about myself. Understanding the way our bodies works (or don't after years of improper eating!) and learning to eat correctly have been extremely important especially for someone who began her life with an irregular eating pattern that probably set up a life long set of problems.

“Aamazing results”
