Oliver S Kurucz's Online Review Report Card

I had my first appointment and wish all Dr's were as professional yet kind as Dr Oliver Kurucz. He asked questions and listened to the answers. I left the office with hope. He is another member of the fabulous St Luke's team available to assist me on my journey to health.

i liked dr. kurucz very much. too bad he's no longer in NY.

No insight into diagnosis or treatment

Dr. Kurucz, is one of the most caring and responsive Physicians I’ve seen over my 60+ years of life. I highly recommend him. His recent move to PA is. A huge loss to his NY patients. I wish him the best of luck with his new position.

Great doctor, great staff! I picked up my paperwork prior to my appointment. When I arrived, I was taken right in. The doctor spent over an hour with me. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Nice to see a smart, astute doctor who Answered all of my questions. The staff was very sweet, everyone looked happy to be there, no scowls. I’ll be referring a lot of people to this practice!

I have been to practically every rheumatologist in the county, New Jersey and some in the city. What a great surprise that Dr. Oliver listened patiently to me and worked with me to make me better. I understood that it would be a long road and lots of trial and error. Since my initial visit, I’ve developed a trusted relationship with a great doctor. We made a few medication changes, and I feel better than I have in years. Kudos to Dr. Oliver.

My first impression of the office was a positive one. It was clean and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The doctor was very professional but down to earth and approachable. dr. kurucz went over my history and explained what our goals were for the next visit. He suspected RA but would send me for bloodwork to confirm the diagnosis. I was so relieved that he gave me hope to lead a quality ...

Dr. Kurucz was patient, thorough and knowledgeable. I feel that I have finally found someone who understands autoimmune disease. It is not like fixing a broken bone. The autoimmune journey is not an easy one. It is not easy to treat either. His office help was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Oliver Kurucz.

I had an appointment with this doctor because of severe muscle pain. An hour before my appointment, I receive a call from his receptionist who tells me they don’t accept “us people” who get Medicaid. First of all, I do not have Medicaid. I have Medicare due to a seizure disorder. This receptionist had a preconceived notion that I was poor and felt that she had the authority to talk down to and belittled me. She used derogatory terms and said that the doctor refuses to see anyone who cannot pay for him. Then continues to say that I should not come into this country expecting a hand out. I am an American citizen . I never said I was not going to pay. I was completely willing to pay. I think it’s disgusting how his receptionist was passing along prejudice messages that she claims the doctor was telling her to say. All this aggravation unfortunately gave me seizure activity. I also took off work for this appointment as well. I was so upset the way I was treated that I called my local politician to find that they’ve had problems with this doctor before and this is not the first time they’ve heard of racist and prejudice behavior from this doctor. I highly suggest if you have any moral compass, that you do not see this doctor. This clearly is an indicator that he doesn’t treat or look at everyone as equals, but as second class citizens. Shame on you and your office Dr. Kurtz!

Excellent experience. Great staff and doc
