Dr. Hurlbut performed my right knee replacement and a follow-up knee manipulation under anesthesia due to my limited range of motion. From the beginning, Dr. Hurlbut was straightforward, clear, and focused on results. I know I am getting honest, expert care.
I am now choosing him again for my upcoming left knee replacement. I highly recommend this physician/surgeon!

My surgery was explained well. I was given clear instructions each step of the way, starting pain medications before the nerve block wore often was extremely helpful. My incisions are minimal and healing nice. My follow up visit Dr. Hurlbut gave clear instruction and answered all my questions. I would send anyone needing shoulder surgery to him. Thank you Dr. Hurlbut!
