IUD Insertion / Removal

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.

Prescription Medication / Rx Refill

Dr. Kurtz is never on time, whether it's telehealth or in person. I always have to wait, she doesn't respect my time. This time I waited 15 min for her to come online, I also have things to do. I couldn't hear her very well and I always feel rushed, like she doesn't have enough time for me.

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Appointments are chronically late...I sit in the exam room for 30-40 minutes even with appountments early in the morning. It's frustrating to know that a patient's time is not valued, especially when you can hear the practitioner chatting in the hallway about personal/non-work related things

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

Gynecological Problem Visit

It was just a post-op check and it was nice to not have to go to the office for that.

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Every thing went well

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Because I had to wait naked on the room for 40 minutes , while the Dr Kurtz openly admitted going into the wrong room . So I got skipped. I could hear her in another room down the hall saying hi to me when in fact she was in the wrong room. The wait was entirely to long . Everything there seemed dis organized . There was no one even sitting at the checkout area! Not very pleased at all for I drive a hour to get here.

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

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

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.

Review for Catherine Tanner Kurtz, MD

Dr kurtz is the best doctor i've ever had. She is informative and thorough while being empathetic and non-judgmental. She meets me where I'm at, and I imagine this is true for other patients in her care as well.
