    2026-03-16

  • Dr. Kurz came in to the office barely looking at me and asked me no questions about my pain. She didn't look at my medical record. She stated her happiness that I was there for acupuncture. Two of the needles fell out and there was no way to reach anyone to tell them without getting up. She talked about anti inflammatory foods. I asked for a list and she never provided one. She offered me to join some adjunct programs associated with the clinic and wrote the info down but never explained it. She spoke in a rushed manner with little eye contact.

Healing begins with connecting to the whole person. She does that without cost.

    2025-11-01

    2025-09-22

  • Of late, with all the reading, I've done about the Brigham, I'm kind of disappointed that they have lesser amount of minutes to see a patient. I know other doctors. I've discussed this with and they agree. So when we're down to patient care as counting minutes, as an RN, I disagree.
