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.

Awful Human Being
Dr. Hunter is a terrible person! I had a failed induction that turned into a c-section and she came into the room and didn’t even say anything to me (The midwife was managing my induction). Then during my c-section she was talking bad about all the nurses and saying that the whole hospital would close without her there. As a doctor who is supposed to care for people, how can you not even get the name of the patient you are about to cut open? Someone who talks like this about other staff in front of patients is not someone I want “caring” for me.

Amazing Doctor
From the very first day I met Dr. Hunter I felt very comfortable. She is very well mannered and beautiful! I had a robotic hysterectomy and a bladder repair done by her and I am so pleased. She listened to all my concerns and did a very good job explaining what she will be doing and educating me on my health. She is very personable. She took all of my anxiety away! She is a Dr who truly cares. I will definitely be a forever patient of hers! I would recommend and women to Dr. Hunter you will be in great hands!

Horrible beside manner
HER OFFICE cancelled my appointment twice in the last couple years (due to covid), they rescheduled without consulting me for a day that I work. I called to change the appointment for a time I could do & request refills until then. She left nasty notes on my Tower Health account regarding how she wouldn't help me with refills and she didn't want to speak to me because I had cancelled my appointment. She stated she wasn't going to help me, I could find someone else. I informed the office that I was transferring to a different office & had an appointment with the new Dr but needed refills until my appointment. My chart clearly states (and I reminded the nurse of this) that the medication I take is necessary to keep me from getting sick and she left a note on my account again (in all caps) that she wouldn't help me and I can "CONTACT SOMEONE ELSE". She has never met me, passed blame, refused to help. Who wants a OBGYN like this?

I am in my first pregnancy now, and I can't express how great Dr. Hunter has been. I only met her for the first time (and only, so far) in my 35th week and I wish I would've met her earlier on. She took the time to explain everything to me, even when I didn't even know which questions I should be asking. I can not recomend her enough. I am praying she is the Dr. on call the day I deliver!!

I love Dr. Hunter! I would give her more stars if available. She delivered both of my babies in Cleveland, TN. She went above and beyond to make sure I had the kind of deliveries that I wanted with both my children. She is so knowledgeable and compassionate! I just found out I'm pregnant again and I am so upset that I have to find a new doctor :( love you Dr. Hunter! Come back to Cleveland! ;) - Lindsay Gaines Romines

Dr. Hunter is an excellent Doctor and I can not recommend her enough. Not only does she provide the best medical care possible but she does it while making you feel completely comfortable and that she truly cares. It's like going to see your Doctor and best friend all rolled up into one!

I met Dr. Hunter 10 years ago the day after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is so Compassionate & Caring. My cousin & I are planning on coming to Pennsylvania just so she can do our yearly exams. Yes she is that good of a Doctor. We are pretty sure they broke the mold with her. It would be nice and a lot better world if we had more doctors like her that actually had their hearts in what they do instead of rushing patients in and out like a assembly lines.

Dr. hunter was phenomenal. I had a surgery yesterday and she explained everything before and after fully. My husband asked a ton of questions and she never got frustrated or made us feel rushed. True professional and very kind and knowledgeable. I am extremely pleased.
