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.

Doctor kurtzer is a wonderful physician. He is kind and understanding and always puts Your health and your priorities in front. I have been going to him for 25 years. He has never let me down. He calls things in promptly for your medications and monitors your health. Apparently I love going to him. God bless.

Dr. Kurtzer has been our family Dr. since we moved to PA. In 2018. The first time I saw him by the time I leftI felt like I’d known him for years. He’svery kind and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We would recommend him & done so many times.
My husband & I have been patients of Dr. Kurtzer's for over seventeen years. He is a wonderful doctor & person. He has a good bedside manner. He explains ever thing in detail. He never rushes you. As far as doctors are concerned he is an excellent diagnostion. We have had to use doctor Kurtzer for the retinue illnesses like colds & such. We also had him as our physician for some life threatening illnesses. We would not use any other physician for our medical issues. He is the best!6

Dr Kurtzer is the kindest man, my whole family has him. He is patient and listens to your concerns. He fits you in when you really need to be seen. His staff know us all by name as does Dr. Kurtzer. I/we never want another Doctor. He keeps my Diabetic parents in check also with their high blood pressure and mine and my husband high blood pressure. We are all better because of him. We consider him family and would do anything for him. I would give him 100 stars and 500 hearts . xoxoxoxo

Horribly rude office staff to the point of being outright nasty. Incredibly unorganized office and completely impersonal.
