Dr. Kurzrok is wonderful. She is so personable, relatable and remembers small details about her patient's and their care. I am always impressed at her wonderful bedside manner, thoughtful diagnoses and work ups and giving me as the patient options in my care. She practices holistic medicine and sees patients as people not numbers. Her team is also very responsive to patients. I am always impressed by quick responses to lab results and MyChart messages.

I see Dr. Samantha Kurzrok for my annual physicals, and each visit reinforces how fortunate I am to have her as my primary care physician. She is young, smart, kind, and incredibly thorough_bringing both sharp clinical expertise and a warm, approachable manner to every appointment. Her professional knowledge is exceptional, and she communicates in a way that is both thoughtful and easy to understand. Dr. Kurzrok never rushes. She consistently takes the full amount of time to listen, ask meaningful questions, and explain her recommendations clearly. She responds quickly when lab results are posted and always follows up with helpful guidance. What I value most is how she considers my perspective when exploring treatment options. Her approach is collaborative, respectful, and truly centered on the patient. Dr. Kurzrok is a rare combination of smart, knowledgeable, kind, and extremely thorough. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking attentive, compassionate, and comprehensive primary care.
