Reviews
The best
Dr. Hurwitz is the best! His number one concern is helping the patient. He is thorough, and a great communicator which is important to me. He’s a great doctor. He’s helped me so much and I am so thankful. I’ve already referred a friend of mine to him. If you’re looking for the best doctor, this is him!
The office staff was very friendly down to earth and knowledgeable. Dr. Lyle Hurwitz. What a gem. He made you feel comfortable he showed that he cared in his tone of voice his body language and the questions that he asked you. He took his time to explain to you in Laymans terms the procedure. An absolute gem.
Dr. Hurwitz is an excellent, knowledgeable doctor. He cares for his patients as he tries to find alternatives to treat your problem. He explains clearly the steps you need to follow to improve your gastro health issue. I strongly recommend Dr. Hurwitz.
The reason I have given 4 stars is because it is very difficult to get through the office. My primary care physician had to call, just to get an appointment to see the Dr.
