Testimonials
Patient DH
Walnut Creek, CA
I’d like to thank Dr Kurtzman and his staff for the excellent care I received. His advice and consultation were clear and thorough. He and his staff were always available for questions. Once the decision was made we were able to schedule and have the procedure performed on a timely basis. And the best news is the procedure was a complete success and I am now cancer free!

In a time of great uncertainty and fear Dr Kurtzman and his team calmed our fears. He took the time to explain the steps, why we were taking those steps and how we move past this to a happy long life. The ability to bring peace of mind and a smile to our faces meant the world to my husband and myself.

Hollister, CA
There are moments in life that shake you to the core and hearing the phrase “you’ve got cancer” is high on the list. From the initial consultation with Dr. Kurtzman to weekly visits with Dr. Agarwal, I felt I received exceptional care. I always had my questions and concerns addressed and clearly explained to me. It was clearly evident that the technicians and doctors worked as a team to plan my treatments and make any necessary adjustments.
