Dr. Kurucz is the best. I went to the walk in center with a persistent cough. They did not help me. Dr. Kurucz evaluated me and gave me antibiotics. I was feeling better in no time. Sorry I even wasted my money st the other place.

Dr. Kurucz is a breath of fresh air- most MD's treat you like a number. Dr. Kurucz give me care, compassion and a trusted diagnosis each visit. He listens to me and takes the time to answer my questions, not stare at a clock to keep the production line moving.

I have been going to Dr.Stefan Kurucz for years and although he is old-fashioned, he is an excellent physician. He truly cares for his patients and you're not merely a number at their practice.
