Patient Reviews
Dec 02, 2022
If I could give Dr Urken 100 stars, I would. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is very caring and responsive. What well known NYC doctor calls twice on a Sunday to see how you are? I always felt comfortable that I was in excellent hands. My feelings were mirrored by Dr Urken's excellent and available staff. In addition to the fact that each specialist was knowledgeable and supportive, it was very apparent that they not only highly respected Dr Urken, but really liked him! I felt that I was cared for by a cohesive, compassionate and highly skilled team. Ignore any negative reviews. I am very careful about my health and come from a family of doctors and this is the first time I have ever written a review for a doctor. I'll end with - go to Dr. Urken!
