Verified patient
Very helpful and took the time to go over all my questions. It was an annual but I was being a hypochondriac and thought something was wrong and by the time I left I was feeling much better. The lady that came in before him seemed to rush through her questions so I didn’t feel as heard with her but the doctor was great.
Highly recommended

Great first experience with Dr. Turk! He was super nice, understanding and took his time! Great bedside manner and knowledgeable. Office was clean- staff was nice! Zero wait time. So happy I found a doctor I plan on sticking with!
Verified patient
I don’t expect much from a doctor other than appropriate medical treatment and decent bedside manner. I can’t classify this as the doctor having an “off day” because I saw him 3-4x and each was unpleasant in a different way. He was extremely moody. Brought in observing mentees into exams without asking permission. Twice after appointments he didn’t call in the same important prescription. Once I was distraught over an health scare and he offered zero information, interest or feeling. I asked a FEW questions about my condition but he was curt and rushed me out. His assistant wasn’t nice. Weird vibe in there- I assume trickles down from him. Only positive is the woman at the front desk who was helpful, warm and welcoming.
Verified patient
Dr. Turk was great, took the time to listen and understand and made me feel like he cared. The office staff was excellent, and as we all know the office staff is just as important as (if not more important than) the doctor. I’m very happy I found this place.
My visit to see DrTurk was a very pleasant surprise from entering the office and leaving it. Very pleasant personnel and a truly caring doctor. After bad experiences in my previous visits to different doctors to visit DrTurk was truly exceptional. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
Positive first experience, there was a slight wait for my appointment but overall the experience was as pleasant as I could ask for
Verified patient
My doctor listened to me. He didn’t rush me he didn’t make me feel like everything I’m going through was a dead end. He gave me the strength to say I’m going to get answers to my problems. I love this office and I travel a hour away just to see him!!

Very thorough and very personalized treatment. This was my first visit due to a change of Doctors. I chose Dr. Turk for his impressive credentials and I was not disappointed.

Very professional and explains things clearly. My husband was very anxious as this is our first child but whenever he comes with me to Dr Turk’s office, he feels more relaxed and reassured afterwards. I was even joking he needs a weekly dosage of Dr Turk.

He and his staff were very professional. My appointment was at 2:30 and there was no wait. They said some mornings were extremely busy. Dr. Turk did a thorough check up and met with me in his office both before and after examining me to discuss my concerns and the solutions. He seems knowledgeable, is calm, professional and put me at ease.
Dr. Turk was patient and was willing to discuss my problems at length. I appreciated the fact that he took time to understand my problem and did not try to hurry me up. I definitely recommend Dr. Turk.

Dr. Turk really listened to what I had to say and I felt like he really took his time to explain everything to me. There's nothing worse than feeling like your doctor is trying to rush your appointment. So I was very pleased that I never felt that way during my visit!
It was very pleasant.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Turk if you are in the area. I have had bad experiences in the past when trying to find a new OB-GYN which made me a little nervous as this was my first time visiting the office. I was promptly greeted and seen.
