I visited Dr. Hurt in 2015 when my daughter sustained an injury while playing basketball. The experience was so positive and successful both medically and personally that I felt compelled to return for my own treatment. I have complete confidence and trust in Dr. Hurt such an awesome doctor.

Dr Hurt was extremely helpful by explaining exactly what my options are. He gave me the facts and let me decide as to what avenues I could pursue. He did not force surgery on me. He did not promise me 100% perfect results. He gave me a plan. He was honest. I had been to 2 other doctors who barely met me and was ready to perform surgery on me. I’m glad I prayed about it and was very blessed to have come to see Dr Hurt. He will be my surgeon but when he and I decide it’s time.

Jun-2024
Dr. Hurt is pretty knowledgeable in his field . Not only he makes you feel comfortable he makes sure you don't leave without any in answer questions .. sadly the front desk isn't as knowledgeable when it comes to insurance coverage .. I was charged for something I shouldn't have .. after speaking to the billing department she agreed I should not have been charged and that I'd have to wait for the bill to be submitted before I would be returned my payment .. so before you go make sure you know what your insurance covers or you'll be in my situation
Jun-2024
He is not only a great surgeon but he shows that he cares for each patient. He explains what is going on and treatment options for it. He’s not at all pushy about him performing the surgery but wants the patient to be completely informed. Dr. Hurt is an amazing doctor and person.

May-2024
I’ve been seeing Dr Hurt for about 10 years off and on. He always has an approach that is least invasive first and then more aggressive if need be. LAST option is surgery! To put it in layman’s terms: Good guy, knows his stuff, good bedside manner and enjoys what he does!

Couldn’t be more impressed!

Everyone was so attentive and giving me information before I even had to ask. Dr Hurt prayed with me before surgery, do you know reassuring that was? It brought even more peace to me. Every person involved were so helpful. Not that I want to undergo surgery again I do hope they are as wonderful as Hurt’s team.

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.
I visited Dr. Hurt in 2015 when my daughter sustained an injury while playing basketball. The experience was so positive and successful both medically and personally that I felt compelled to return for my own treatment. I have complete confidence and trust in Dr. Hurt such an awesome doctor.
Great experience! Highly recommend!
