Think this was my fourth knee injection and it was a breeze. Dr Hurst gives a pain free injection, using that fabulous icy-spray to numb the area first. Highly, highly recommend.

This was my first visit and I was pleased with the staff and the facility. Dr Hurst has a very friend manner, was through in his questions for his diagnosis. A lot of doctors seem to be in a rush and are abrupt. I did not feel these things with him. He also is a good listener. I was referred for physical therapy and will revisit in a few months. He knows I’m not in favor of medicos and recommended an over the counter supplement. I would recommend this Dr and facility
