Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2018
I saw Dr Wurtz 01/25/2018 for a Tumor on my arm. I was impressed at how likeable he was, extremely attentive, a very good listener, intelligent, soft spoken and humble. All the things I initially look for in a doctor, it’s very important to feel like you have been heard thoroughly and completely. If you have orthopedic needs, he specializes in soft tissue and cancer of the arms & legs. You can’t go wrong here, he’s not just another good looking doctor!.
