Complete asshole. Would not refer any patients to him, does not use proper sterile technique during procedures and is rude to patients and staff. Unless you want to guarantee complications with your procedure, do not go to this amateur.

Went in to have arterial bypass. Which I've had done several times before. One surgery turned into the and he said there was no more he could do for me. He said I would have to have my legs amputated. I then choose to go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester Mn. I was referred by my family physician to Dr Bower he did his tests and agreed to do surgery. Her went in and after about 17 hours of surgery he was able to repair all the damage done by doctor Gurbuz. So thank God for Dr Bower and two years later I still have my legs. Then a week ago a woman I was closer to had a stent put in by dr Gurbuz simple procedure until she died the next day. She bled out from the procedure. So I would never refer anyone to him. Also I tried to get follow up appointment several times and they never returned my calls. I felt like after he messed up in surgery he wasn't even going to check my incisions after. I felt that was very unprofessional.

This man saved my 88 year old grandpa's life. He had emergency quadruple bypass. Dr. Gurbuz's bedside manner is caring and positive. He is always smiling. My dear grandpa gave him a big hug at his follow up appt and told him, "You saved my life!" Dr. Gurbuz just beamed! I would recommend this doctor with no hesitation.

I would like to thank him for all what he had done for me. Since from his first mail to me I had trust in him and I wasn't wrong.I had a mitral valve replacement in 2006 and from all hospitals and doctor that I contact I choose dr Gurbuz and I'm happy for that. I live in Tirana, Albania and the 2 weeks that I stayed in hospital I was feeling great thanks to him and to his staff.
