I have been a patient of Dr. Turtz for nearly 13 years and have the upmost respect for his opinions and options with regard to my care. He is pleasant and forthright.

Always the Best care

I was seen before my appointment time. It was my first appointment with Dr. Turtz for a meningioma found at Jefferson while looking for something else. I was tense and he put me and my husband at ease from the very beginning. He was well prepared with having reviewed previous tests and I would highly recommend him.
