Dr. Kurtz is so kind, gentle, and patient. I was extremely nervous about this, as several folks have said to me “iud insertion is the worst pain I’ve felt in my life”, but I’d rate it at a 3/10, personally. Thank you doc! And the medical assistant from Westchester NY was incredibly sweet and warm.

Dr. Kurtz is the best gynecologist I have ever had. Having lived in 6 different states. She is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to every issue. Truly blown away by the care she gives.

Doctor Kurtz is very professional and friendly. And she is very helpful. I'm glad to be her patient.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr was on time. Staff was friendly & attentive. The biggest negative was being surprised by the new Medicare co-pay. Fair warning/heads-up would have been very much appreciated. I felt a bit put on the spot.

Exceptional, skilled care was provided by Dr Kurtz. She always takes the time to explain things with great patience and a genuine heartfelt dedication to her practice. As her patient, I have always felt both seen and heard by her, and never rushed. I view her as a trusted partner in creating a healing path for my well being.

Office Visit / Follow-up

I feel like the care has slipped the past couple of years. For the past 2 years, my time with Dr. Kurtz has been about 10 minutes and I feel rushed if I have any questions. This year I was interrupted when I was voicing concerns about menopause and just given the name of a book to buy.

My doctor thoroughly examined me and treated found problems.

Pessary Insertion / Removal

Everyone in the office are pleasant and knowledgeable

IUD Insertion / Removal

Dr Kurtz has been awesome, and specifically, this appointment, I only waited a very short amount of time in the waiting room and exam room. (My first visit, was not this case but I think that was an outlier). I really like how doctor Kurtz says everything she is about to do.
