Born in 1959, Dr. Kurtzman was raised in Deer Park, New York.

Dr Kurtzman began his private practice in 1987 in the Leisureworld Plaza Medical Building in the Norbeck area of Silver Spring, Maryland.
I love everything about the Washington Metropolitan area, the people, the diversity, the culture, the climate. I realized immediately that it would become my home.
In 1993, Dr. Kurtzman returned for advanced studies when he completed a year long Howard University/AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentistry) Implant Maxi-Course. He joined the faculty of the program as Assistant Program Director from 1997-2000.
I became interested in dental implants when my wife lost a baby tooth without a permanent replacement in 1993. I had much more control over the restorative aspects when I started placing implants myself.
Dr. Kurtzman was formerly on the faculty at The University of Maryland in Baltimore teaching clinical restorative dentistry in the department of Endodontics, Prosthetics and Operative Dentistry, holding the position of Assistant Clinical Professor. He is currently on the Editorial Board of several prominent dental publications. He has been honored as being selected as one of the top 100 Dental Lecturers by Dentistry Today annually since 2006.
