After being diagnosed with RA by family doctor I was sent to Dr. Hunt. Needless to say I still hurt and he said he don't know what the problem is the meds he is giving me should be working. And this is several hundred dollars later he will see me in 2 months to see if I am still hurting? He was rude last appt. So I want be back!

This is by far the worst place for RA patients. Sub par care. Horrible office management.

Dr. Hunt seems very knowledgeable and works with me to consider all options of treatment. He does not seem to be ready to rush through the office visit and move on. He patiently waits to discuss questions. This may be why he tends to run behind in appointments, but I am glad that he spends time to discuss the problems. Unfortunately, it is difficult sometimes to get an appointment when a new problem develops. I wish he would leave one opening a week for existing patients who are in experiencing a new problem.

Dr. Hunt has been my rhuematologist for about 13 years, and I have benefitted from his wealth of knowlege. I feel that I can ask questions and comment on things l have learned about my condition, and he will happily discuss those items with me. It seems like a joint partnership in my quest for better health instead of a doctor dictating to a patient. My advice for the patient is to come to the appointment with questions and comments in mind in order to make the most of the appointment. This has really helped me in learning more of what I need to know about my condition and about any current health problems that I am having. I would heartily recomment Dr. Hunt and really appreciate his treatment and advice over the years.

I was sent to Dr. Hunt after being diagnoised by my family doctor. The experience with Dr Hunt was less than adequate, albeit, very educated can not project a normal understanding or clarification for patient in layman terms. Did not answer questions or address concerns, left uncertain of diagnose are what treatment. Researched and found another Rhematologist.
