About Sara V. Kertz, DO

I like Sarah Kurt. She's an awesome doctor. My kids have been going to her since they were born. I actually looked her up online and I was pleased to see what I read and everything I read actually I got to witness and experience with her. And she's great. My kids are now going to be 11 and 9 and they love her as well. She's doing a great job. Thank you. Bye.
