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 is board certified in gastroenterology and has been practicing in Palm Beach for almost 20 years.

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
