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.

Dr. Kurter is the best mental health professional I have ever seen. I have been in treatment centers and seen different doctors for addiction and mental health. Dr. Kurter is the most knowledgable of any specialist I have seen. He has a warm and friendly demeanor and has helped me through the worst times in my life. There is no other doctor I would recommend or trust with my care.

Genuine, caring, & worth the wait
Some battle a lifetime to find a mental health doctor that is able to provide the care Dr. Kurter does. To be able to feel safe, regain your inner self and courage, learn to ground yourself and not lose your peace, to find more strengths within yourself that you did not know were there - are all precious gifts that are priceless and worth the time to work with such a man.

Dr. K is very good at understanding individuals quickly and creative with prescribing medications that help. Very open to trying new meds or trying something different. He hangs in there with people until he gets it just right. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Kurter is absolutely amazing. He's very knowledgeable and helpful with so many issues. I am blessed to have him in my life. ? He actually gives a damn about others. He's not one of those doctor's that prescribe you pills and sends you on your way.. he tries to get to the root of your problem(s). I truly feel like God involved him in my life to save me. I was a patient of his many years ago and then when I needed a doctor, again, I called the first clinic I saw and ended up getting an appointment with him! It was meant to be.. I feel like I can talk to Dr. Kurter about any and everything. I feel very comfortable and relaxed around him. I wish all doctors were like this. Maybe more people would get the help they need knowing that they are cared for and respected as a human being. Thank you Dr. Kurter...I appreciate you dearly. ????????????????

I don’t get it. His website states that he is excepting new patients so I read all of his reviews and I think I would be a good fit. So I called to schedule a appointment and I was told that they are not taking new patients. Please help. I need some guidance.

First saw Dr Kurter 7-8 years ago. He is a huge part of the reason I am alive today. My life was a shambles, my health was in the toilet. He is compassionate, caring, always reachable. Can't say enough good things about him. Super smart, sharp, will not put up with our typical BS. He has seen it all. If you are serious about changing your life, he is the man.

Dr. Kurter is amazing. I can’t compliment his care enough. He really takes the time and I have never felt rushed. By some stroke of luck I found him prior to having to go through a number of doctors to find one whom I have a great rapport with. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Kurter saved my life. He is an outstanding doctor with experience, knowledge and expertise, unlike any other provider I've seen. When I am there, I have his care and commitment to the utmost, full extent. I pay out of pocket to see Dr. Kurter and wouldn't settle for anything or anyone else. He's helped me find the passion for life, my wellbeing and my happiness. He's the reason I live a meaningful life today. I recommend him for anyone struggling with mental illness as well as addiction.

Dr. Kurter is a great doctor. He is excellent at understanding how drugs work and assessing benefits vs. risks. He takes a lot of time listening to how he can help you and is very accessible and open to questions. He makes suggestions but ultimately leaves decisions with the patient on best treatment options. He returns calls quickly and really cares about helping his patients.

The first call, I was met with caring, compassion and understanding. The staff and Dr. Kurter are always respectful, courteous and empathetic. The road to recovery, as an addict would know, is full of bumps and bruises along the way, accepting the advise, counseling and medication therapy of Suboxone. If you have an opioid addiction, I highly recommend Dr. Kurter, he truly understands how Suboxone therapy works best for each individual. I don't know where I would be without this help!

From the 1st day I came to Dr. Kurter for help with a very difficult time in my life he has been very patient and concerned about me as a patient. He listens the way someone who truly cares making me the most important person in the room for the entire time of our visit. He is very clear when discussing issues, making sure I understand everything. I would refer Dr. Kurter to everyone who needs his care and treatment as the best place to go...Mike
