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.

It has been almost 2 years since my surgery. Pain free and no complications. Dr. Kurtz was one of the most compassionate, comforting, professional and skilled doctors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!

I highly recommend Dr. Kurtz as a general surgeon. I've had 2 hernia surgeries, one with Dr. Kurtz. He performed the double hernia surgery, as the recovery time was much better then the single hernia performed by another dr. I recently had Dr. Kurtz remove a 8 cm fatty tumor from my arm. I feel great and didn't take any meds for pain.
