Dr Hurwitz is an outstanding doctor and my health has improved since I began seeing him. He was able to prescribe medications that have stabilized my blood pressure. The doctor i had seen outside of Hopkins had been unable to help me so it has been a great gift to be Dr Hurwitz patient. He is thorough and a great problem solver. He has worked with me and listens to my concerns. I am most grateful for his care

Dr. Hurwitz was very through. He asked me to state any concerns or questions I had and then he asked his questions about the state of my health from our last visit and moved to the present, what had changed for the better, for the worst, and my reaction to the medicine change. He asked about having test done and explained what the test results would indicate. Very interactive productive appointment.
