Dr. Branden Hunter, MD

After a non surgical scope procedure, Dr Hunter telephoned my spouse with medical concerns he wanted to discuss with both of us. Earliest appointment - 5 weeks away, rescheduled to 3 weeks. Both appointments were scheduled with a Physicians Assistant, not an MD. I was surprised - I was told my appointments were with the doctor - and Dr. Hunter said he wanted to discuss my options. I'm quite anxious, physically uncomfortable (because of illness), and did not want to discuss possible surgery and other options with anyone but an MD. I called practice manager, was assured that the PA had been through a lot of schooling, and has five years experience in the practice. Practice Manager could not schedule MD consultation for 2 months! She went on to explain that practice has too many patients for doctors to see. Practice is a factory assembly line, almost no contact with the doctor, except for procedures, but not for timely follow-up consults. Terrible patient portal, too!

Dr. Hunter is ok but his staff in savannah (nurse) is rude and doesn't call you back when she says . Waiting on test results are nerve wrecking enough without not being able to recieve them . Don't matter how good a doctor is if he has a bad staff it reflects on him or her .

Dr. Hunter is very nice. But his office staff and follow-up are abysmal. Was due for my screening colonoscopy. Left voicemails for the scheduler for 6 weeks. Never did get a callback for an appointment. This comes after a similar situation 3 years ago. Also, a previous imaging study revealed a growth that the radiologist recommended a follow-up on in his interpretation. The only reason the follow-up was done is that I am a nurse and I happened to read the radiologist's report about 6 months later when I happened to request my medical records. Luckily it was not cancer because in that six months, it could have progressed. Do not recommend Dr. Hunter.

Dr Hunter is a very informative doctor he takes the time to answer questions and discuss any concerns.

Dr. Hunter has been treating me since 2008. He was the ONLY Dr. that did not give up on me when I had end stage liver disease. There were others that just didn't seem to care. He has been treating me along with Mayo since. He's a wonderful Dr., with good bedside manners, caring and compassionate, and deserves more than the 2 stars that was listed here. He's very knowledgeable. I was fortunate to get him when the other Dr. in his practice gave up on me.

I don’t know where this doctor was voted best doctor of the year hanging on the wall. Needs to act like one or take it down. He has no bad side manner and not a compassionate doctor at all! Won’t be seeing me anymore! If you have a question that doesn’t flow through his ears, he start to get Loud and talk like in an argumentative manner. He would say stuff like this is how o do my things. He doesn’t listen to his patients. Very abrupt. I think the office staff voted for him.

I have never dealt with a doctor's office that makes things so hard. I never scheduled the appointment, because I had to sign a medical release for a similar doctor I saw ten years ago. So, their procedure was I had to go in a sign the report, then they would request the documents, then the doctor would review, then the would call and schedule an appointment. Even though I had a doctor referral I would be lucky to see the doctor in four months. When you are sick it shouldn't be this hard.

My experience with Dr. Hunter was great. I have eosinophilic esophagitis and had big problems swallowing. He treated me at his endoscopy center, I've been on medications, and I'm symptom-free (for the past 3 years)... I should have reviewed him long ago... but now I'm due for a screening colonoscopy. Can't escape age.
