Join LCDS in welcoming Dr. Purcell to Oregon and the Lane County Dental Society. He is currently working at Dr. Katrina Drew’s practice Pediatric Dental Associates in Eugene.
In high school, Dr. Drew received a dental assisting certificate; after which, he earned an associates degree in Dental Laboratory Technology. He completed dental school in 1993 and began practicing general dentistry working three days a week with adults and one with children. He discovered that his passion is for pediatric dentistry and through this work he has been able to make positive impacts and children he has treated.
Prior to moving to Oregon with his son, Christoper, Dr. Purcell worked in his own practice for over twenty years. At Pediatric Dental Associates, he is able to pass on lessons that he has learned, thereby influencing future pediatric specialists.
Community service is also very important to Dr. Purcell. He has been involved in Colorado’s Give Kids a Smile Day, Colorado Mission of Mercy, and International Surgical Missions to the Philippines and Ecuador. He also was a member of the cleft lip and palate team at Boys Town. Dr. Purcell will continue to pursue his passion to make oral health available to those in need and look for future opportunities to go on dental missions at home or abroad.
