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.

I saw Dr Wurtz 01/25/2018 for a Tumor on my arm. I was impressed at how likeable he was, extremely attentive, a very good listener, intelligent, soft spoken and humble. All the things I initially look for in a doctor, it’s very important to feel like you have been heard thoroughly and completely. If you have orthopedic needs, he specializes in soft tissue and cancer of the arms & legs. You can’t go wrong here, he’s not just another good looking doctor!.

Although you have a longer wait time, it is well worth it. He has a great bedside manner, a wealth of knowledge. He takes the time to listen.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wurtz?
I was a new patient and at my first appointment, I was required to wait 3 1/2 hours before seeing the doctor. I did not receive any communication from the staff about the expected wait time. Dr. Wurtz finally came in to the exam room and stated he would consult w/ other physicians about my medical concern & call me on a specific day. That specific day has come and past with no phone call. It's been a week since I visited the office without any calls and no answers regarding my concern.
