I had to have emergency wisdom tooth surgery to remove all 4. Needless to say, I was caught off guard, and nervous after hearing a ton of horror stories. Dr. Kurtz was wonderful! I would never want to go to another surgeon to get a tooth pulled! His bedside manner made me very comfortable. He explained everything thoroughly, and answered all of my questions. The surgery itself was quick and painless. I only had to take advil (I literally had no pain!) The only thing that was uncomfortable was my jaw, but that is typical. Dr. Kurtz is the absolute best you could find!!!! A+++
