Steven Kurtzman, MD

As a radiation oncologist, Dr. Steven Kurtzman specializes in using brachytherapy for men with prostate cancer. He is committed to delivering superior care and firmly believes his technique of implanting radiation seeds into the prostate to eliminate cancer is the most innovative and effective treatment available.

Dr. Kurtzman inspires patients with his own confidence in the procedure, which he has performed for more than 15 years. He reassures them that they can have the 20-minute, minimally invasive outpatient procedure and feel well enough to resume normal activities immediately. He derives great satisfaction in seeing his patients' high cure rates and minimal side effects.

Although he is committed to the benefits of brachytherapy, Dr. Kurtzman believes in educating his patients thoroughly about all treatment options for prostate cancer. He wants them to be well-informed so they can make a decision that is right for them.

Dr. Kurtzman likes bringing his patients to El Camino Health's Los Gatos hospital because of the friendly, highly trained staff whose skills and knowledge help everything go smoothly.
