I have been a patient for five years, I'm a disabled veteran and have extremely severe foot problems, some congenital and others from my service. I've had several foot specialists over the years and none compares to Dr Hurst. He always uses the least invasive ways of treating your problems and is very responsive. He performed surgery yesterday to fix a bone problem in my right foot and did a remarkable job. I had a slight complication with bleeding, his staff called him at the hospital and got me in his office 30 minutes later, he was kind, attentive and resolved it, he is an amazing man. Experience has taught me that most negative reviews have few supporting facts, this is a talented Dr. His treatments and my three surgeries with him have had a profoundly positive effect on my quality of life. If you go elsewhere, you are only hurting yourself. My deepest thanks to Dr Hurst and his staff.
