A Few Insights From Dr. Dan Purser

Mar 28

If you’re like us, you want to know the stories behind the names. We went straight to the source, Dr. Dan Purser, for a little insight on his background. Here’s what Dr. Purser had to tell us about some influential times and people in his life-

"I grew up in the countryside of Oklahoma and we only had three TV channels (in those days, we had an antenna, no cable), so I watched a lot of M*A*S*H. I know it’s not ideal to get your goals and aspirations from a sitcom, but I loved Hawkeye Pierce. He slept by the really sick patient’s bedside and bent rules to help the patient! He cared deeply for the patient and was not on autopilot. I loved his example and it has been my practice now for decades.

I struggled with the unwritten, silly, inane rules of medicine doing what the government, pharmaceutical companies, and the FDA tell us to do. I despise insurance as their advice and rules for patient care are 50% self-serving and detrimental for patients. No thank you."

Thanks, Dr. Purser, for these insights. We look forward to hearing more in the coming months!

Dan Purser MD

Dr. Purser was from the graduating class of 1981, Brigham Young University. Dr. Purser graduated from “Old Miss” (the University of Mississippi, School of Medicine) where he completed medical school near the top of his class.

Dr. Purser began with a practice in family medicine with an emphasis on geriatrics during the 1980’s. In the late 1990’s, coupled with his prior education and vast experience with aging patients, Dr. Purser continued with in depth medical studies and interests in neurological studies, with an emphasis in pituitary dysfunction, as well as intensive preventive care of the body, and how these inter-relate. With Dr. Purser’s vastly accumulated experience, he’s enjoyed tremendous success with his patients in both his preventive medicine and traumatic brain injury practices since the late 1990’s. Currently his “day job” involves work in a plastic surgery group where he deals with complex wound healing issues. He also consults for, and designs products that you can feel working for a number of nutraceutical companies.

These intense studies and long standing experience in the medical profession have led Dr. Purser to be a very unique contributor to an outstanding textbook for physicians “Program 120: A Physician’s Handbook on Proactive Preventive Medicine”. This text is used as his curriculum in educating fellow physicians throughout the United States and abroad. Dr. Purser’s current writings include a book directly addressing the pituitary endocrinology issues of Fibromyalgia. Dr. Purser is a long standing Utah Medical Association delegate with honors, certificates and outstanding achievements from the American Medical Association and has been the Utah County representative for physicians practicing there to the Utah Medical Association the last several years. Also Dr. Purser is involved in ongoing research in cardiology, pituitary endocrinology, and pharmacology with a team in the Los Angeles area.
