I moved to Valparaiso in 1985 and began seeing Dr. Turk. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of my health. He is able to control my major depression. He diagnosed a tumor inmy lung before the lymph nodes were involved and I am now 7 years cancer free.

Dr. Turk has been my family's physician for over 25 years. He is the most pleasant, professional, and compassionate doctor that I have ever been to. He treats me as if I were his own family member. I highly recommend him.

Well-reed and up to date on treatment options and new treatments for ALL types of problems. Excellent bedside manner and a realist. Truly seems to be a great human being who listens and wants to help you care for your body; very reasonable rates for those self-paying. If you need a good general md / internist / diagnostician, this is the man to see.

This dr. told me I was going through menopause at 33. I went home in tears. After searching for another dr. & going through some tests I found out I actually had PCOS. At 37 I had a baby. Mind you women don't normally have babies after going through menopause.
