I am really impressed with Dr. Hurt’s presentation & delivery of hard-to-hear news. I’m not excited about needing surgery, but Dr. Hurt answered all my questions thoroughly & empowered me to make the decisions I needed to make pretty quickly. I was referred to him by a friend who claims he is the best - and I’m a believer. I look forward to being relieved of this excruciating pain & I truly feel like I’m in the best hands possible.

Dr. Hurt takes the time to listen and doesn’t make me feel rushed. He knows his stuff and isn’t just trying to get another surgery in. I would highly recommend him.

I experienced knee pain on Friday and called the clinic to schedule an immediate appointment. The clinic offered for me to see the Physician Assistant (PA) on Monday or the Doctor on Tuesday. I chose Tuesday because I specifically wanted to see the Doctor.
When I arrived on Tuesday, I was first seen by a nurse who advised me to get an X-ray immediately. Afterward, the PA went over my condition with me in detail and prescribed medication. At the billing counter, I asked if I could see the Doctor, and that was when he came over briefly to speak with me. However, I felt I couldn’t fully explain my issue, as I was uncomfortable discussing it at the billing counter. I had specifically chosen to wait for an appointment with the Doctor due to his strong reputation, and I was hoping to have a private consultation, which unfortunately did not happen.
Since my visit, I still feel pain in my right knee when working out at the gym, even after seeing the orthopedic center. I feel disappointed

Highly recommend Dr Hurt for any knee issues! I had a knee replacement just a year ago and I'm thrilled how it turned out! A joint replacement is kinda scary but it has been completely painless and wished I had it done earlier. Dr Hurt is professional, kind and genuine. The staff is great! I am so glad I went to Dr Hurt!!!

The doctors and staff are 1) knowledgeable, 2) friendly, and 3) efficient. With two athlete teens and two middle age parents, we come to AOI a lot. Each time the doctors and staff strike the remarkable balance of giving us the time we need to use examined and understand the diagnosis, and also being quick and efficient. We love the people at AOI.

Dr. Hurt is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder and knee repair and reconstruction.
He also frequently treats common sports and trauma injuries, including distal biceps repairs, wrist fractures, humerus fractures, ankle fractures, and Achilles tendon tears, among others.
Dr. Hurt grew up in Austin and then attended Baylor University. He subsequently graduated from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas in 1999. He completed a 5-year orthopedic residency, at UT Southwestern and Parkland Hospital, and then finished with an additional year of training at the University of Kentucky in a sports medicine fellowship.
Dr. Hurt has been practicing orthopedics in Austin and Marble Falls since 2005. For years, he has generally treated 130 patients per week in-clinic and performed 30 to 40 surgeries a month. There is no substitute for experience, and this pedigree provides invaluable benefit to his patients. Dr. Hurt’s approach to medicine is guided by the belief that patients should have an opportunity to understand their injury well in order to make the most informed decision. He loves to teach his patients in person, and also enjoys creating educational videos.
Robotic knee replacement and computer-guided shoulder replacement are two of his favorite surgeries. The Mako® robot allows real-time intra-operative millimeter adjustments to implant positioning before any cuts are made. Using this technology since 2018 has allowed Dr.Hurt to see the knee 3-dimensionally and perfect ligament balancing. The end result is knees that get great range of motion and feel stable – happy patients and a happy surgeon.
Similarly, Dr.Hurt uses 3D bone imaging (CT scan) to plan all his shoulder replacements at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. This is incredibly helpful because the shoulder blade has very limited bone and getting screws in the exact right axis is difficult without this imaging aid. If there is severe erosion of bone, he can plan for metal augments in the perfect position with this software. Dr. Hurt usually records the computer screen while he is planning his case, explaining his process along the way. Patients are given access to this prior to surgery.
