Dr. Kuhns did a thorough exam and we had a very productive discussion about symptoms.

Dr. Kurtz is kind, patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and consistent. My child is not an easy or cooperative patient and she still takes the time to give him a FULL examination. We do not always get that from other providers. It Is also appreciated that she treats parents with respect. I also deal with Dr. Kurtz's patients at my own job and know that her patients have had the same great care and we can fully appreciate her findings. Highly recommend!
