I love Dr. Hurford. He is a very caring and kind surgeon who listens. He had the answers that no other professional did. He thoroughly explained everything to me without rushing me. I will absolutely recommend Dr. Hurford to anybody who would need his expertise. This is a very special Physician. They’re hard to find. I’m so happy I found him. He is the answer to my prayers. Thank you, Dr. Hurford.

I waited 1 and 1/2 hours for my appointment. After waiting, I was told that he doesn't know what the problem is and doctors don't always know why people have pain. Very poor treatment.
