Listened to me. And showed me what was wrong. And started treatment.
I put this because 2 hours passed my appointment time I still had not seen the doctor. I had to leave without being seen because my husband is disabled and his sitter had to leave at 2. I went to the desk and advised of this an hour passed my appt. And still waited another hour and was not seen.
Dr Hurford listened to my concerns. Explained what he saw on the X-rays I laymen terms and made some recommendations for next steps. Very pleased.
Very nice. Easy to understand. Didn't come in and push for surgery. I really appreciate that.
50 minutes wait for the Dr. otherwise nice
Amazing doctor/surgeon! I was lucky to have him on my side.
