Doctor is okay if you don't mind wasting a couple hours sitting in the waiting room!

Dr. Huntington is a kind and gentle man who performed a fundoplication surgery on me. The recovery period and end result of this surgery, far surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. HUNTINGTON to anyone who is in need of this surgery.

He is an excellent doctor who I have recommended over and over and will continue to use if I have need for a surgeon. He is very thorough and has a great bed side manner. He is recommended as the person who does the hard and complicated.

Dr. Huntington is a wonderful surgeon. I was given a diagnostic work-up promptly and surgery was set-up for the next week. He has answered all of my pre and post surgical questions directly and frankly. This is my 2nd surgery with him. My first was a hiatal hernia repair that went flawlessly. Anyone who has had this problem knows how unpleasant it is. I am now 14 yrs post surgery with no reflux or heartburn what so ever. There was no question about whether or not I would SEEK HIS SERVICES FOR THIS INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR. I AM ABOUT ONE WEEK POST SURGERY AND BELIEVE HIS SURGICAL EXPERTISE HAS DONE IT AGAIN. IF YOU NEED ABDOMINAL SURGERY, GO TALK TO HIM (oops hit the cap lock). I say this without reservation. I saw some previous comments about his bedside manner. My experience is that he is a pleasant, caring professional with a pleasant and wry sense of humor.

Dr. Hunnington has done surgery on my twice and he has the most amazing bed side manner I have seen. He was so kind, and actually very humerous, he believed in me as a patient and my plans of treatment were respected and treated with support when in some manner the hopsital didn't agree. He is a wonderful patient advocate and any patient to have the pleasure and professionalism of Dr. Hunnington is a very lucky person. He is a perfectionist because he cares most about the patient and least about the politics of medicine. Highly recommend him!

The prognosis for my precedure was fairly grim, I expected to have to stay in the hospital from 3-4 days to much longer depending on complications. With Dr. Huntington's precision procedure and expertize, my stay was only a day and a half. I would rate him as the most competant physician I know or have ever heard of. Everyone I asked about this Doctor just raved and now I KNOW why?

I was unsure at first as he is a very quiet, thoughtful man. I felt as if I was just a 'routine' to him. Yet when talking with others in the medical field they all commented on what a knowledgable and competent surgeon he was. I felt good. Be aware he is NOT a BC preferred, so you are paying the BIG bucks for his services
