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.

Horrible experience, misdiagnosed me!
I was sent to see him after falling in June of 2022. They said I had a radial head fracture. The e.d. Set me up with him the following week. I went to office, an X-ray was on the bed, he was very rushed and explained he does nothing for that fracture, take off my sling, start P.T. Never took another x ray. I went back in three months he said my arm look good keep doing therapy, elbows heal funny, they don’t straighten again and walked out. 5 minutes, both appointments. January of 2023 my primary told me to go to crystal clinic. I saw the dr. and upon looking at X-rays, he determined I broke part of the head off. Had an mri and surgery in February. Had to have a replacement radial head put in. 50% of my radial head was broke off and loose in my elbow all that time. I was not happy to say the least with the treatment I received from Kurtz and will be filing a complaint.

The best experience I have ever had with a doctor. Extremely thorough in his description of the surgery he was going to provide, kind, enthusiastic, and answered any questions I had. He was prompt with appointments and I rarely had to wait on him. Certainly going back to him if the need ever arises again.
