January 2023

Dr Gurtner is very familiar with my case. She covers all aspects of my condition and treatments. She is also extremely thorough, for which I am truly grateful. I was referred to her by another doctor because I was considering prostate surgery. Dr Gurtner insisted we do some tests first, and that was when my cancer was found. Without her decision to run tests, the cancer would have gone undiagnosed and no telling where I would be today!

Dr. Gurtner listened to my worries/concerns - we would troubleshoot together; she would ask my opinion of different treatment options.
