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.

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

Gynecological Problem Visit

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

Annual Well Woman Exam

Every thing went well

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.

Gynecological Ultrasound / Sonogram

Concise explanations, caring and kind

OB Care

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.

Gynecological Problem Visit

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.

Treatment / Procedure

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.

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.
