Kurker Raymond C MD

Dr. Kurker was dropped by me a long time ago because he acted unprofessional and it appeared that his personal life got in the way of his medical knowledge. The wife continued on with Dr. Lazarz since she wanted a female physician. Lazarz quickly developed the same attitude. They both acted like 100% control people. Lazarz personal life sure reflected in the wife's medical treatment! I'd have to rush to the pharmacy to pick up the wife's fluid pills since Lazarz wouldn't fill her prescription in a timely manner. All this for 10 (ten) pills!!! If you want to wait in an office for about 2 hours with lousy staff also, go. Glad the wife left Lazarz. more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lazarz for the past 5 years, and family members have been seeing her even longer. I must disagree with a previous reviewer that she is the ""weak spot"" in the practice. She is very knowledgeable and caring, and I rarely have to wait to see her. She takes the time to listen when there is a medical issue to be discussed. She has a wonderful ""bedside manner"". My husband is Dr. Kurker's patient and he is very happy with him. More often than not, he see's the physician's assistant, whereas I get to see Dr. Lazarz herself. I agree that when things are busy the office staff seems a bit disorganized, but they have always been nice to me. I get the impression they are doing the best they can. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a new doctor, and specifically, Dr. Lazarz. more

Dr. Kurker thinks quickly, is well trained, and is an excellent listener. His skills as a physician are superb! The only weak spot in his practice is that his partner, Dr. Lazarz is not as experienced and can keep you waiting for over an hour. The rest of the staff are not cooperative often. Perhaps this is the trend of the new age. If you accidentally get booked with other than your regular doctor, Kurker or Lazarz, it is difficult to switch back. I've been a patient of Dr. Raymond Kurker for over 15 years and find him, his patience, and his skills excellent!! more

Just to set the record straight. Dr. Kurker did not REFUSE to report the abuse to the authorities. The mother asked him to wait so she could get it on video and prove that her child was being abused. She wanted to make sure she had enough proof for a conviction so the abuser would not get away with what they did. There was no video until after she spoke with Dr. Kurker and was told there were signs of abuse. This mother acted quickly and her child is now safe and away from that monster. more
