Dr. Hurford is amazing. He reads up on the patient before he comes in the room and know exactly what you're there for. He always make me feel like I'm important as a patient.

I love the way he fully explains what's going on with my spine in Laymans terms so that I can understand. He takes his time with you and I completely trust his judgment.

I waited two months for an appointment, drove 1 1/2 hours to the office and then was made to wait another hour in the waiting room because dr Hurford was running late.
