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.

Amazing doctor
Dr. Hunt saved my life 14 years ago. He is a caring compassionate doctor with an excellent bed side manner. He put my mind at ease on this last appointment which was Tuesday, April 16th. His staff was very friendly and there was only a 5 minute wait time.

Literally have been in agony due to dysmotility of my colon and needing urgent surgery. Saw him 2 months ago and got testing done and was thrown off by his secretary saying I suddenly don't need surgery. Twice I spoke to her and asked to talk to him directly because that made no sense, he himself said I needed surgery. Turns out, he calls me 2 weeks later to say he must have been looking at the wrong chart and I do need surgery but surprise! He's leaving in 2 months. Wasted my time and energy, I am beyond furious with this practitioner

Fistulotomy
My encounter with Dr. Hunt started from early Oct 2023 to Jan 2024. 1 office visit with analscopy exam.1 visit for the Fistulotomy surgery.2 follow up visit so far.He's very professional and calm, friendly but not overly friendly. I did my research on the types of surgery I may receive, and asked him about each in details and he explained to me patiently with graphics. He didn't seem to going to go through detail before I asked though. On the day of surgery, I expressed that I'd prefer Fistulotomy as it has the highest success rate but still up to his decision on the spot, after I woke up from anesthesia, he told me he operated Fistulotomy, it went well and he left.My recovery was not as terrible as I expected, I stop taking painkillers after day 3. It was never that painful.Overall it took me two full months to recover, on the longer side. But now I'm healed but there's still that 5% if I don't take care of my body. So still need to take care of my health more than before.

So far all good!
I have not had my surgery yet, but Dr. Hunt took time to explain about the two surgery options, what he recommended me and what to expect in recovery. I feel confident about going into the surgery as he seems very knowledgable and professional.

SURGICAL OPINION
HAVING DEALT WITH A CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITION FOR MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE, I HAVE HAD COUNTLESS MEETINGS WITH PHYSICIANS ABOUT MY CARE. I HAVE NOT HAD A BETTER DISCUSSION THAN MY RECENT APPOINTMENT WITH DR. HUNT. HIS EXPERTISE AND COMPETENCE IS READILY EVIDENT. EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS HIS STYLE OF ENGAGING WITH YOU IN A HIGHLY ATTENTIVE MANNER. THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT IN SEEKING A SURGICAL OPINION THAT ENDING THE CONVERSATION KNOWING THAT EVERY ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. QUITE SIMPLY, IT GIVES ONE A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE AND EMPOWERMENT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE A TRULY INFORMED DECISION ABOUT A CRITICAL MATTER AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH AND FUTURE WELLBEING.

BEST DOCTOR
Dr Hunt provided excellent care. I had surgery three months ago. I am fully recovered and my condition is completely resolved, due to his skill as a surgeon. Dr. Hunt clearly presented my options and did not pressure me to do anything. His staff and especially his nurse talked to me a few times in the days after surgery and provided very very helpful advice.

Fantastic Doctor
The doctor patiently and wisely dealt with my critical colon infection issues, and saved me from having to undertake a dangerous, life-changing operation. He communicated in a way that I could understand all the issues of my illness. I felt I was protected under his care, and I’m so thankful for having him as my doctor.
