Dr. Kursel Has to be the BEST Doctor I have ever seen/been affiliated with. VERY intelligent / smart. Very caring. Went over ALL my records before we met...knew where I had been and what was going on. I can not say enough about DR KURSEL!!!!Should be DOCTOR OF THE YEAR....
Dr. Kursel is very reassuring & empathetic. Explains things for you to understand.
She is very patient when listening to me and is attentive.
Dr. Kursel is the best at explanations, has a caring and warm attitude. My husband and I have so much confidence in her medical recommendations and either of us would strongly recommend her to anyone suffering with heart failure.
I am extremely happy with Dr. KURSEL. She is kind, always has comments for me to work on, very smart with medications. I just love her. She has a great bedside manner but also let's you know if you need to be working on something to improve your health.
She knew my background before I got there and had recommendations to resolve my issues.
She is so friendly and genuinely happy to see me doing well. She has literally been a life saver for me!
Every assistant we encounter during our visits are wonderful to my father. We also love all the NP's on the heart failure team who work with is. Dr. Kursel is amazing and we are thankful for her professional guidance in ensuring my dad's health is a priority. We are in great hands with our Froedtert team. Thank you!
Wonderful professional casting dr.
