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.

Not a Good Choice for Women
Dr Kurnot appeared to be unfamiliar with the female urinary anatomy. He missed the appropriate entry when inserting a catheter and I suffered because of it. I will never go back to him.

He and his team are first rate. I had an emergency causing great discomfort and from the time I arrived, the receptionist expedited my office registration experience and the assistants helped relieved my pain promptly. What a relief! I feel that I am in good hands with well seasoned professionals whenever I visit. And Dr. Kurnot has prescribed meds that have greatly controlled my problem.

Eight years ago Dr. Kurnot removed my cancerous prostate. His care has been EXCELLENT. He is VERY knowledgeable and was always thorough. He was also compassionate and remembered my case. He always asks about my family and is always very helpful.

He rescheduled me two times for his convenience when I really needed to see him. Finally, I was able to accept an imposed schedule. The time was not a convenient for me so I get to my appointment 15 minutes late. As a result, the doctor refuses to see me forgetting that he missed two previous appointments. Bottom line: his time is valuable but the patient''s time worthless.
