This visit With Dr. Kurtz was a referral from my doctor. I was extremely happy with the way he explained things and how he answered my questions. He was very thorough and very easy to understand especially the problem I m having and the procedure he will be doing on me. I think he is a very good doctor for me and what I'm going through and what to expect on my surgery. Would love to have him as my primary care provider.

Dr. Kurtz explained my condition thoroughly and in terms I could understand. He was prepared with my medical test results. He listened and addressed my concerns. He spent almost an hour with me and I was never rushed. I was so impressed with his ability to present information to me in a way I could understand. He obviously researched my medical information and tests prior to meeting me in office - he was well prepared.

Caregivers are all great - excellent care and responsiveness. MyChart is clunky and not easy to navigate and does not have all the info I need.
