Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Do not under any circumstance go see him. He is arrogant, gave me bad advice on my broken ankle and CYA by not including everything you tell him in his notes, so when they referred my case to an 'objective' outside orthpedic, that doctor didn't know everything about me. The whole hospital is a terrible place to go. Lies and deception in every level of that organization. Extremely high billing costs and horrible patient care. Just don't go there unless you're dying....and even then try to go somewhere else.

Dr. Hunter is very easy to talk to and will explain things to you in English. He does not rush you out of his office and he's compassionate and has a great sense of humor. He will always be my go-to Ortho.
