I specifically requested that Dr. Hurlbut give the injection, because I wanted to visit and haven't seen him in over a year. That's who the appt. was supposed to be with, but once again I got the PA, we ven though I saw the doctor in the office.

He is perhaps the most knowledgeable and experienced doctor I have ever talked to. Dr Hurlbut is kind and throws in a bit of humor while truly knowing his stuff. Thank you for a great experience.

Very knowledgeable. He explained to me my options, regarding my shoulder. Explained my MRI and the problem with my shoulder. I’m glad I’m not at the ‘have to have’ surgery at this point. He will be my shoulder surgeon when I need to have surgery!
