Dr Wurzel has done three of my surgeries and has seen me for COUNTLESS apts. he’s also done my sisters and did an amazing job. When nobody would listen to me and I was suffering beyond words, he did. he has spent so much of his time and energy helping me all these years and has had patience , respect , and knowledge that even the Mayo Clinic did not Have . And when he couldn’t figure something out, he listened to Me and put together a team alongside himself that could solve the problem. He treats you like family, and is better than any doc out there . I trust him w my life and am so forever grateful to him for everything he has done for me. I highly recommend !

He promised he would do my surgey. That was the biggest lie. I am still in pain and suffering. He is a liar and fraud. He has a split personality and changes he mind. I only met him once and his staff absolute rude. He kicked me to the curb like trash.

Excellent surgeon. He took time to answer my questions in detail before the operation. No issues with the surgery and healed with no problems. Went home 10 hours after the davinci hysterectomy

The only doctor who has personally called me to check up on me after a surgery. Explained things well, without talking down to me. Very knowledgable, excellent bedside manner. Even the nurses spoke highly of him.

Truly the best and most knowledgeable doctor I have ever seen. I have never had a doc spend so much of his time discussing my health and how to make it better. Highly recommended!

When I needed a DNC for my first pregnancy, my OBGYN wasn't available & Dr Wurzel was. He is a very kind and gentle man who answered all my questions and was there with me before and after the DNC.
