Patient Reviews
Apr 07, 2022
Once I met Dr. Kurtulus I knew I was in good hands for my hysterectomy surgery. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and confident in his technique for robotic surgery. His entire team was fantastic. I has absolutely no problems. The after care was thorough and caring. I healed well with no complications. When I had an allergic reaction to surgical tape, Dr. Kurtulus called me directly at home to evaluate the problem. I also was referred for pelvic floor therapy by his associate to enhance the healing process. I highly recommend Dr. Kurtulus.
