About Lyle Hurwitz, M.D.
Dr Hurwitz was born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa. He graduated from medical school from The university of Pretoria in South Africa. He completed Internal Medicine Residency at the Carney Hospital (affiliated to Boston University) and then moved to sunny south Florida and completed his Gastroenterology fellowship at Jackson Memorial Hospital /University of Miami. He is board certified in gastroenterology and has been practicing in Palm Beach for almost 20 years.
He was drawn to Gastroenterology as it combines both the intellectual, cognitive aspect with the procedure (endoscopy) aspect of medicine. He has performed over 15000 procedures including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy and ERCP.
Dr Hurwitz strives to provide the highest quality medical care in a nurturing environment. “ My secret for caring for my patients is caring about my patients,” says Dr Hurwitz
He has been involved in numerous research projects including studies on colorectal cancer screening, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel, diverticulitis, clostridium difficile and hepatitis C.
He enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 children, traveling, reading, cycling, and running.

Reviews
Dr Hurwitz was recommended by a good friend of mine. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt the atmosphere was peaceful and the staff was very professional. Dr. Lyle Hurwitz has an excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend.him.
Dr. Hurwitz was the 3rd GI doctor I’ve seen & he was the first to show me compassion. He took his time to listen to me & review my medical records, from the previous doctors, with me. He asked me questions & took notes as I spoke. He made eye contact - unfortunately this is rare these days with doctors. For the first time I felt heard & cared for. He was honest & treated me like a human being - not just another dollar sign to rack up my insurance. I live an hour south of Dr. Hurwitz’s office & he was well worth the drive. If you need a GI that shows you compassion & takes time to listen to you - go see Dr. Hurwitz in Wellington!
my experience with Lyle Hurwitz MD was fantastic. He is very professional, and diagnosed my condition immediately upon completion of the procedures. I was healed with medicine prescribed by him. Upon completion of the medication I was 100% normal again. I highly recommend them
The best doctor.
My visit was great, no time waiting and all the staff treated me very good
