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 worked with Dr. Hurscan in Fort Worth with a medical device company. He is extremely professional and has tremendous skills in the OR. Class act.. True Gentleman.

SOLID!
He's one of the top 2 practitioners I have met in my 18 years of dealing with pain. It's nice to see a pain doc that isn't a self appointed federal agent working AGAINST the people.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hurschman, Dr Qian, the other doctors and PA’s for the past 3+ years and they and their staff have made it possible for me to continue working, improve my outlook for the future and physical condition when cancers and chronic pain seemed somewhat overwhelming. I have a number of specialists and oncologists who also assist in improving my health and well-being but the entire staff at Sage Pain and Wellness Institute, more than any other, make me feel welcome and work with me to improve to reach my goals of better health. I highly recommend SPWI to anyone also willing to put in the necessary work at improving the quality of their lives.
