Dr. Hunt is just amazing. His bedside manner is easy going, yet professional. Takes his time explaining the issue so it makes sense. I just feel I’m in the best hands here…
Irene
Wonderful! Wonderful! He was so informative and had an incredible bedside manner…This type of all-around service is hardly available anymore.
Debbie
Dr. Hunt is kind and humorous, he puts me at ease every time I see him. He truly cares about his patients. I had surgery a few years ago and it was the best thing I could have done…
Nicey
Dr. Hunt is a brilliant doctor. Very nice and warm man, very caring…I had an issue many other doctors could not identify and he identified and corrected the issue immediately…
Ron
…Dr. Hunt is everything a doctor should be, in my opinion. I honestly think that was one of the best medical experiences I have ever had. How refreshing to have someone who is as talented of a surgeon as he is, not try to push surgery on me…
