Efficient, great bedside manner - thorough
Dr. Lyle Hurwitz is a knowlegeable, highly capable, thorough, and thoughtful physician, and his entire staff is a pleasure to deal with. I have been a patient for quite a few years and can recommend his practice very highly if you are in need of a gastroenterology specialist.
Everyone was very caring, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. Dr Hurwitz was professional, competent and friendly. I particularly liked Estella. The recovery nurse Diana was a bit abrupt and argumentative but she got the job done. Diana did tell me not to take my Apralam for 24 hours but the discharge sheet when prohibited drugs were to be listed. I might have forgotten this instruction and Having in on paper would have been a good back up. I really liked the traveling anestetist. He was friendly, light hearted which made me feel calm.
Having just moved from NY and finding Dr Hurwitz and his staff was a great experience! Love the office and the care and knowledge of the office is exemplary
