Had a knee replacement at Dartmouth Hospital. 6 week check up and I was walking around without the need of a cane. He leaves it up too the patient to do it and mine was pretty bad-total knee replacement.

I had my 6 week recheck appointment with Dr Hurley yesterday after total hip replacement surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon. He is very knowledgable, efficient and kind. His booking clerk Mel is fantastic too. I have had other experiences with ortho surgeries and have found this experience to be, by far, the best!

Both knees bone on bone—not much pain—just mobility issues. THEN—about one month ago one knee became very painful and rigid! I'm thanking God for notification of the KNEE CLINIC opening through SOLES IN MOTION and their fast and proficient method of registration. In a very short time I was referred to Dr Hurley and on Friday, August 11 he injected both my knees with cortisone. .THANK YOU DR HURLEY—results were amazingly quick! The next day I was up and down so easily and no need of help from cane! Forever grateful---great doctor!! Gwen

Another 5 star rating. I had a knee replacement performed on Aug. 4, 2022. Not day surgery as I was from out of town. Several visits from Dr. Hurley while I was in hospital. Excellent care and consideration from all medical professionals while I was there. Follow up has been perfect with all necessary contacts performed. Must say that even the incision is almost invisible. Just scheduling the other knee for total replacement. Perfect contact perfect communication perfect concern for my well being. Nothing else to say but thank you.

Dr. Hurley has performed two hip replacements for me, the most recent in January 2022. Both surgeries were successful and it is wonderful to be pain free .He is very knowledgeable and has always taken time to answer my many questions. His assistant, Melanie , has been very helpful over the years and has been a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Dr. Hurley and his team !

Great surgeon. Takes time to listen and also will make personal phone calls to follow up. Total knee replacement done very recently. Dr Hurley and his whole team have been spectacular. I hardly recommend his work and his team.

Dr Hurley did 2 of my surgeries and followed me through a brutal year after a gnarly broken ankle. He and his team were so kind and so good, and I am so thankful for everything they have done for me. It made a awful situation a lot better. He would make time for me whenever I had any concerns and I am forever grateful.
