About Ben Kurz, M.D.
Dr. Ben Kurz is a board-eligible gastroenterologist with Texas Digestive Disease Consultants. He performs routine GI procedures such as upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the diagnosis, screening, and surveillance of gastrointestinal diseases and cancers. Clinical interests range widely from common GI disorders such as reflux disease and screening families for colon cancer to more specific diseases such as chronic viral hepatitis C, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Procedural interests include lower endoscopic mucosal resection, a minimally invasive technique that removes advanced polyps before evolving into cancer. Dr. Kurz is native to Baton Rouge, LA and graduated from Episcopal High School. His practice is accepting new patients.

Dr. Kurz has a wonderful staff. He's a caring Doctor. He listen to all my complaints. I was very satisfied
Dr. Benton Oubre listened to me very patiently & gave me a sufficient time to say my problems with my health. I was totally impressed by the way I was treated first time when I met him. He is very supportive and suggested well. He was very honest and positive approach in treatments. I was very impressed.. he made me feel like he was going to get the bottom of my issues ... THANK YOU DR.BENTON
Dr. Kurz has been very easy to work with so far. I think we have a little more work to do. I’m looking forward to getting on with this treatment
Dr. Kurz was very professional . He explained what was happening with my situation and what needed to be done to help me.
Been very satisfied with Dr Ben Oubre and the clinic in my years of treatment there
