Dr Wurzel has done three of my surgeries and has seen me for COUNTLESS apts. he also did my sisters surgeries and does an amazing job! When nobody listened 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 is patient, respectful and knowledgeable. He’s the best and I’ll forever be grateful to him for helping me have a less painful life!!

Do not waste your time scheduling an appointment with Dr. Wurzel. He is liar and changes his mind. Everyone keep telling he was a really good surgeon. Yea right. I been waiting like idiot for surgey. I did everything he told me. I am still in the position in pain and suffering. Dr.Wurzel staff is absolute rude. He lack compassion for his patients and defends his staff a 100% without hearing both sides. BEWARE OF THIS DOCTOR....

I can't say enough in recommendation of Dr. Wurzel and his team. I am 6 weeks post-hysterectomy and have never felt better. Dr. Wurzel spent a lot of time explaining the procedure, the risks and benefits, and did everything to make me feel comfortable with my decision. I would recommend him to anyone needing his area of specialization.

He's always very thorough in explaining options and procedures, the reasons for them, and potential risks. I have used him regarding menopausal and general heal issues, so I can't speak to pregnancy or cancer issues. He's always been extremely compassionate with me, so the cancer patient's story left me truly shocked.

He was the best doctor I could ask for! He was there for both my sons' prenatal care and birth. He is patient, he goes out of his way, and only wants what is best for the mother. I recommend him to anyone who wants to a doctor to be there all the way to labor and delivery.
