I’m so happy I chose Dr. Gurney. She truly cares about her patients and is so kind. She had a few tests ordered on a lump on my neck and also removed a lymph node on my neck for a biopsy and all went smoothly. She checked up on me on the weekends to make sure I was ok. Highly recommend.

Very thorough - a pleasant experience. I felt my concerns were really addressed.
Excellent, fantastic service, amazing caring staff. Highly recomend.
She is an ear, nose and throat doctor. I was told years ago I need to have deviated septum surgery by Dr. Matthew Mingrone. I went to this doctor and she did not mention anything about my having a deviated septum. She also did not know why I have a hard time swallowing when I lie down. It is because I have large bones in my mouth called Torries which give me a lisp and make it harder to swallow. She didn't know anything about it. Then, she recommended me to Dr. Matthew Mingrone for a sleep study. Well, in that case, I would see Dr. Mingrone for the deviated septum surgery too. Why would I go back to this doctor?
