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.
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

Reviews
Dr Hurwitz is very educated with his knowledge and skills I trust him 100%
Dr. Hurwitz is the best! His number one concern is helping the patient. He is thorough, and a great communicator which is important to me. He’s a great doctor. He’s helped me so much and I am so thankful. I’ve already referred a friend of mine to him. If you’re looking for the best doctor, this is him!
The office staff was very friendly down to earth and knowledgeable. Dr. Lyle Hurwitz. What a gem. He made you feel comfortable he showed that he cared in his tone of voice his body language and the questions that he asked you. He took his time to explain to you in Laymans terms the procedure. An absolute gem.
Dr. Hurwitz is an excellent, knowledgeable doctor. He cares for his patients as he tries to find alternatives to treat your problem. He explains clearly the steps you need to follow to improve your gastro health issue. I strongly recommend Dr. Hurwitz.
The best
