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.

Listens carefully. Very persistent on figuring out what it is your going through. He is rough around the edges but it’s his way of understanding everything. He wants to get the answers, especially if you have gone to several doctors for help. Don’t be surprised if he takes a while to get back to you regarding any test results, he’s one of the only DO doctors in town. And a very good one.

Having Vertigo trouble, Dr. Hurst is always concerned about exactly what is going on with me, takes the time to listen, wants to make sure that I have the meds that help me in my recovery. Everyone is always concerned and kind in this clinic. Definitely would recommend Dr. Hurst.

Best Doctor I have ever seen, takes plenty of time to make sure you are well taken care of and that you understand what's going on. He makes you feel like an old friend.

I've only been here a handful of times and each time it was the same. The staff was very cold & disconcerning about my condition. Once you get in the back you have to wait almost an hour to see a doctor & when they comes in it's extremely rushed. I tried to stick it oout due to convinient location but there's no way I'd ever go back to this office.
