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.

I absolutely love Dr. Hurst, Jena Rhodes, FNP-C and staff. Everyone in the office is so friendly and compassionate. Both of my kiddos had surgery and I would recommend this group over and over. Dr. Hurst went above and beyond to ensure my children were taken care of and I am forever grateful! Top notch care, with a loving a compassionate doctor and care team! Highly recommend!

I would absolutely recommend this Office. Dr Hurst and Jena are two of the most caring physicians, they both explain the problem and discuss options. The office Staff has always been just as polite and very helpful. It was an easy process for getting an appointment and the paperwork. also, Dr. Hurst has done surgery on both my boys and both times she was very professional at explaining the procedure.

When my youngest son was having issues, she immediately got him in to be seen and referred out to Houston for other problems. Everything was quick. Both my kids love her! We recommend her and Jena Rhodes to everyone with ear/nose/throat issues. We will return if they ever have problems again.

I had a wonderful experience at Pediatric ENT of Nacogdoches! Dr. Hurst is absolutely AMAZING! She took the time to explain every detail of my daughter's surgery and answer all our questions. I would highly recommend this office!

Unpleasant experience I wrote earlier about my experience and was met with a total untruthal response. I would like to note that me and my family traveled over an hour to visit her office to have our child seen and was treated unfairly. As I stated earlier I wouldn’t wish my experience and dealings with her on anyone. I wish her all the best but I’m glad that we have chosen a new provider.

Dr. Hurst and Jena were both extremely thorough and genuinely cared about my son. They talked me through all my options for treatment and seemed very knowledgeable. Every time I have had to come in, the office staff has been polite and courteous. Love this office

Dr. Hurst provides top notch care! She took such good care of my son during surgery, even held his hand when he asked her to before surgery. She is very thorough and provides all different options that would be appropriate for your child. I felt very comfortable leaving my son in her hands.
