5.0 star star star star starI’d highly recommend Dr. Kurtzer. She’s kind, trauma-informed, and does what she can to meet me where I am, and I’ll be forever grateful. She’s willing to take the time to really consider my questions and provide support and resources when she can, to coordinate care and also to help me feel comfortable. I know that this is something that the medical system doesn’t usually allow providers to do, but I’m so grateful she’s dedicated to find a way to do it without ever making me feel like a burden.

5.0 star star star star starOMG! The most knowledgeable human on pre,”me-no-pause” and post menopause. She spent time with explaining everything that is happening. And a thorough exam but no typical, Pap smear, no it was not. It was more about checking sensitivity and pelvic strength. Amazing! Thank you Dr. Kurtzer for imparting your wisdom. It was so nice and refreshing to be with someone that appeared to be around my same age with so much knowledge on this apparently taboo subject.

5.0 star star star star starIn addition to my comments above, she likely spent an hour with me & I left the appointment knowing that I had a clear management strategy, which I was never able to receive from a previous Gyne Oncologist. She also was able to correct previous provider's inaccurate diagnosis. This was a game changer in my care!! How could my previous provider not have my anatomy properly identified???

5.0 star star star star starI had heard from another GYN that my condition was incurable and that there was nothing she could do for me. I’m not healed all the way, but after just 2 months from first having seen Dr. Kurtzer, my pain levels have significantly reduced. She is an amazing doctor and I can’t speak highly enough of her. She is the first person who ever listened to me.
