Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Hunter is very great Dr and a great surgeon! I started seeing her a few years ago about some issues I had, she gave me all my options and I decided to go with a Hysterotomy. She was very thorough in her pre op and post op directions, the hospital staff and Dr Hunter were so nice the day of my surgery. She did an excellent job of telling me what to expect. My surgery went better than I expected, I had very little discomfort right after surgery and the day after I was up and ready to go! I had very little pain at all. She did an excellent job! Thank you Dr. Hunter!

8 minutes ago To say I am disappointed would be understatement.I waited 20 min to be seen by scheduled a month ago appointment. Then the real exam lasted 5 min and after10 minutes my appointment was over. 15 min total. The doctor pushed me to get a referral to another specialist .Her diagnosis was really shocking and she was not offering any other treatment then operation. It was a routine annual exam, which bill supposed to be a fully covered by my insurance, but the bill ended up being sent to be paid personally by me.I had to deal with the front desk all day and from the clinic's billing still could not rectify their mistake.

Dr. Hunter is hands down the BEST doctor I have ever had. I have been dealing with an issue for years and she is the ONLY doctor to really, really listen to me and help me! She makes time for me every time I have a concern. She calls me personally... even on days she’s not in the office. This has been a very emotional experience for me and she has guided me every step of the way. I wish she could be my primary care doctor! I have never had a doctor invest and care so much about her patients. Plus, she has a very refreshing and kind staff!

It was the worst annual exam I have ever had! I was in pain for a week. Very traumatic experience. I have had a lot of paps and have never had an issue until I went to this doctor. I hope you stay away!

I appreciate that DR Catherine is very straight forward in her recommendations and is an expert in her field. I went to several GYN but she was the one who was able to resolve the issues for me. I found her through a friend referral and I have been going to her since 2013.

Dr. Hunter has been the best doctor I have ever had. She has always treated me very well and has always looked out for my well being. She is caring and compassionate and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is the first doctor that actually listened to me and resolved the problems that I had experienced for so many years. She truly is the best.

I found Dr Hunter to be a doctor that really cares about her patients. She is one of the few doctors that I have gone to in years who actually takes the time to call her patients personally to discuss test results and other issues that she feels are important.

I found Dr. Hunter to be quite pushy in HER beliefs, rather than my own personal care dynamics. Would not recommend her to anyone!
