Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible patient care
No way to call the office. No response when a message is left through Tower Health answering service. Tx plan discussed at office and then she changes it completely via text with no conversation or discussion. Awful.

Excellent GYN
Dr. Gurski is friendly, calm and unrushed. As a new patient, she took her time getting to know me. Her exam was thorough and her explanations clear. I thoroughly recommend her!

Kind, compassionate, intelligent and an amazing listener. I have recommended her to many friends and they all love her too. Can’t say enough about her bedside manner and no nonsense approaches. You can discuss anything with her without embarrassment. She is truly a gem.

I’d been urged for years to see Dr Gurski and wish I would have done that sooner. Dr Gurski is knowledgeable, compassionate, and a gift to women suffering with pain. She swiftly diagnosed my problems and provided me with comfort and so much confidence. Dr Gurski will be my forever GYN and FRIEND!!! ??

I have gone to her for 15 years. I love how pleasant she always is. She talks to you about family, hobbies, etc during your whole exam to keep you talking and your mind off your exam. Love her!!
