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.

Doctor Hurwitz is an excellent doctor.
Doctor Hurwitz is very proactive and really listens to his patient's concerns. I love that he takes his time and never rushes his patients. Colonoscopy and endoscopy went great today... It was quick, easy. He makes you feel at ease and is very thorough.

He neglected to followup on suspicious area
During routine colonoscopy he tattooed a suspicious area. Sadly a tumor grew and 3 surgeries ensued.

Great Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Hurwitz for several years. He always takes his time with me, gives a thorough exam and actually seems to enjoy seeing his patients. Also, like the personal phone call from him, if needed. Staff is great.

EXCELLENT DOCTOR
I have never had any complaints about Dr. Hurwitz, he is very knowledgeable in his field and treats as a member of his family. He is very caring about my medical needs and for that I will remain loyal to his gastroenterology practice in the future. I trust on his knowledge with no remorses. He has been very patient to my health status and I am sure that he is like that with all his patients. I have recommended him to a lot of friends and some of them are already his patients.
