Dr. Gary Hunter provided excellent surgery and follow-up care for both myself and my husband. His staff provided outstanding customer service. If we should need orthopedic surgery in the future, we would select Dr. Hunter.

this doctor ruined my husbands left hand...didn't even offer follow up with pt after doing three radical procedures on him at the same time...not did he stabilize the hand afterwards which is the standard for that procedure...as a result,he has irreversible nerve damage and had to give up his remodeling business. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY...HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!

I have known Dr. Hunter for over a decade now. He has helped me in my care concerning my knee issues. He's been there every step of the way. I always seem to get the truth from him and he's a very caring professional with a great sense of humor. I couldn't recommend him any higher.
