Dr. Kurisu gets a gold star. In March of 2023, I called in late afternoon with a positive COVID test and he stayed with me on the phone after 6:30PM making sure I received a call-in prescription for Paxlovid, in Sal;t Lake City. His dedication (and working late) is a sign of a dedicated professional. That continued with this visit in SD a year later. Thanks.

Dr. Kurisu is the best doctor. I live quite from from his location but, he is such a great doctor that I don't mind the drive. He listens to you & addresses your concerns.
