    She is knowledgeable, patient, and pleasant. Listened carefully to all my questions.

    Dr. Kurtzman was great. She was late because of a (I think emergency) surgery, but she was very apologetic about it, which I appreciated. She also spent a good deal of time with me, explaining my condition and possible options. She answered all of my questions. During none of the conversation did she look like she was in a hurry to be done; instead, she was patient with me and my questions. I had full confidence in her medical advice, but also appreciated her "bedside manner" a great deal.

    As I previously stated, Dr Kurtzman listen to all our concerns, addressed them, and sent us away more informed. She has an engaging and pleasant personality.
