5.0 star star star star starI wish I could give her more than a 10! Trauma informed care is so very important in healthcare delivery, especially so in gynecology. Dr. Kurtzer seems at the highest end of her field, I hope she can impart her decades of experience, knowledge, skill set, and compassion to those in training to be future gynecologist. I found my appointment with her to be very healing. Thank you Dr. Kurtzer!

5.0 star star star star starIve had chronic pay for over 20 years and I appreciate her patience and thoroughness. It makes me feel heard and seen. I appreciate the time she spends answering all my questions when I know she must have a busy schedule. Having chronic pain is very challenging to deal with as a patient. Having someone who spends so much time with me to hopefully make thing better takes some of the stress away.
