I love going to see Dr. Gurney. His office staff is always friendly and I've never had to wait to see him. On top of that, I've never felt rushed in my appointment. Very different than every other doctor I've ever seen. He's truly a hidden gem. I highly recommend him!

He was very kind, listened to my concerns and recommended a great surgeon. I appreciate seeing a doctor that treats me with kindness and patience, and doesn’t rush me through the appointment or just talk about themselves the whole time. I would recommend him.

I've been going to Dr. Gurney for several years and I'm always pleased with him and his staff. I think the longest I've waited to see him is *maybe* 10 minutes and that was probably because I was early. He's very different than many of the "modern" doctor's offices that have experiences akin to an assembly line. He always takes the time to listen to his patients and ask them the right questions. I have never felt rushed with Dr. Gurney! He's a caring doctor that is easy to talk to, and I really appreciate his humor and "no-nonsense" style. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Gurney!
More than 1 year agoBrian P.Verified patient
HIGHLY recommended!!! I'm so glad I found Dr.Gurney. I walked in the office with concerns, and left feeling totally stress free. He was very clear and thorough when explaining things, making it easy to actually understand. There was no feeling of being rushed at all. He wasn't in any hurry to get my appointment over with, and made sure everything was covered. Dr.Gurney was very personable. He didn't just use confusing medical terms to explain things to be done with me, or have me go take a bunch of unnecessary tests, just to make an extra buck, like a lot of doctors do. He seemed more of a friend than doctor. Its a shame he cant be my Primary Care, lol
February 3, 2021Brian F.Verified patient
Dr. Gurney is a rare breed of doctor, and there are few left who practice like him. As a sole doctor practice Dr. Gurney provides a high level of personalized care. He often greets you in the waiting room himself. I feel so lucky that I found him on ZocDoc!!!

Dr Gurney was efficient and so thorough. He explained everything to me clearly, and talked through all treatments with clear reasoning and recommendations. Very happy to have found him!
September 2, 2020Emilie K.Verified patient
Being a young patient, it is common to have doctors disregard your symptoms and say things like "you'll be fine" . Dr. Gurney was no different. He is a typical older, pill-pushing, unhelpful and dismissive doctor. To top it all off he took off his mask in the middle of the appointment!!! I told him to put it back on because, you know, we are in the middle of a global pandemic and he did...but I shouldn't have had to tell him to. After that he lost all credibility in my eyes. I will never be returning.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Gurney is fantastic. His practice runs smoothly with very little wait at all, even as a new patient. He explained everything really well and listened to everything I was saying before making a recommendation. I would recommend him to anyone.
