RICHARD W. TURECK M.D.

You are still the main character is some of my funniest stories! You are missed Dr. Tureck.

I didn't marry until I was 41 years old in 2000; was the quintessential "Career girl". I had a miscarriage in June 2001; when I met Dr Tureck. He was a gentle, kind and empathetic soul; as well as a comforting physician. I distinctly remember him saying to me with a smile, "Don't worry, I am going to get you pregnant!" Most importantly to me, he was completely non-judgmental of me, being a plus size woman. He was never condescending; his bedside manner could not be matched. After 8...

Dear Mrs Tureck and family, When I was told about the passing of Dr Tureck I broke down and cried. I could not believe the news. It was like hearing about the loss of a family member. I truly concur with all of the wonderful comments about Dr Tureck. He certainly was a one of a kind doctor and human being. Like so many other patients, he was my hero. I admired him for his care, kindness, compassion and piece of mind he bestowed upon me. Having that doctor/patient relationship of trust,...

Dear Mrs. Tureck and family I recently was informed of the passing of your husband. I was his patient and struggled with fertility issues. Throughout the surgeries, then fertility treatment, he treated me with such care and compassion. I now have a beautiful and healthy daughter and I will be forever grateful to him for her. He made the impossible - POSSIBLE!

Dear Mrs. Turek and Family, I write this with tears in my eyes and great sadness in my heart. When I opened the letter from Penn my breath was taken away. Dr. Turek was my doctor for 18 years. Although I initially went to him for infertility I stayed with him as my gynecologist, even if it meant driving from Princeton to see him. I knew I had stumbled upon a rare, fine physician. I can't tell you the security it gave me having him as a doctor. He performed a surgery on me when others...

Mrs.Tureck and Family:
I received the letter from Penn Fertility yesterday afternoon. I stood there in shock and disbelief. Both my husband and I cried; as we knew we had lost a dear friend. I was blessed to have Dr.Tureck help me with my endometriosis over 25 years ago. The doctors in my area (Central PA) wanted to use male hormones or perform a hysterectomy. I remember that his comment was something to the affect that this would not be the treatment for his wife; therefore, this...

Mrs. Tureck and family--please receive our sincere sympathies on the loss of your husband. He was a smart, kind and very down to earth doctor..my husband and I were his patients and will always have many fond memories of him. We saw him for 2 years trying to conceive without success--when I informed him that I was pregnant naturally--he was so happy for us and even did the initial tests to verify himself---our daughter Charli was born on 9/10/09 and I had hoped to be able to take her to meet...

Mrs. Tureck and Family, I just received notice in todays mail about the passing of Dr. Tureck. I am deeply saddend to hear this. He was a wonderful Dr. and helped not only me but my sister as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you during a most difficult time.
