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.

I do NOT recommen
Talk about a quickie visit. Not a minute into the visit, she was ready with a quickie diagnosis. Asked few questions, but thought she knew my diagnosis, as she backed toward the door. I informed my primary doctor, who referred me. One of the worst Dr. visits in my life.

This provider has cancelled now on me twice! I was a new patient. Guess what the recent reviews say … she doesn’t want to deal with new patients is true. Will never recommend her!!

Condescending and unorganized
I had a visit with Dr. Hunt over 3 months ago. During the visit she did not let me finish my sentences and it was obvious she didn’t want to be dealing with another new patient. Similar to another review, she asked me “What do you think you have based on what you’ve looked up before you came here?” I was baffled. I am a young woman with chronic health issues whose primary doctor had referred her to a rheumatologist for funky bloodwork. I was scared and this made me feel even worse. I thought multiple times about getting up and leaving in the middle of the appointment, but decided against it to just be able to get the labs she suggested done. Fast forward to August, I still have no bloodwork results, I do not have x ray interpretations. They seem to have lost them and didn’t even recall ordering the labs in the first place… would absolutely not recommend to anyone unless you want to be talked down to, cut off in the middle of sentences, and not really get any answers from your visit.

Not Good, But Not the Worst
I was unhappy with Dr. Hunt. She didn't review my paperwork at all which described my symptoms and current status. As I tried to explain my case, she would say, 'Okay, I don't treat that. So why are you here? Who recommended you?' in an annoyed manner. I was simply trying to explain to her all the changes I've been through, some possibly rheumatological, some not. She tried to complete my sentences, frequently cut me off, and was very dismissive about anything I said, due to having covid 3 years ago. She also said to me, 'You sure have a lot of diagnoses!' (Rosacea, Psoriasis, and ADHD). She was scattered and all over the place when taking my history. Oh, she also asked, 'Did you google a list of symptoms ahead of time?' In no way was I 'seeking a diagnosis.' It was recommended to see rheumatology and neurology to deal with the symptoms I've been experiencing. When I asked about my CRP level, she said, 'You had a virus that day.' Actually I didn't but okay. Find another doc if you can.

A decade of care
I've been seeing Dr. Hunt for over 10 years. I am very satisfied with my treatment. Appointments are usually quite fast and her staff is great. Several times over the years I've had difficulty getting medication for insurance reasons. Her office was always ready to find a way for me to get supplied till these issues could be resolved.

I have been a patient of Dr Hunts now going on about 5 years. She is so kind and caring and listens to my concerns in regards to my sjogrens. She has never made me feel rushed, just the opposite. Really appreciate the time that she takes.

Just like every other doctor. Sees you for five minutes, can’t actually do anything but prescribe drugs to numb the pain or refer you somewhere else to wait months for another appointment. Extremely rude and unkind demeanor.

I have been a patient of Dr Hunt for 28 years and think she is still wonderful! I first saw her when I was 45 years young snd couldn’t lift a cup of coffee with both hands. She determined I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Then and now she has always found the right combination of drugs, physical therapy, etc to help me live my life and care for myself. I give her A+ rating.

I was referred to Dr. Hunt in March 2018. I was made aware immediately that I had to first send in all medical documents before making an appointment. Once I was able to make an appointment I had to wait nearly 2 months before her first opening. Today, I received a call that after all this time, my appointment in one week needed to be rescheduled as the doctor would not be able to see me and yet once again I would have to wait another 2 months. All this time while in pain. Heartless Doctor!

Nothing like waiting five months for an appointment to be called four days before the appointment, by a very unsympathetic receptionist, to be told "Dr. Hunt needs to cancel your appointment, she can reschedule you in late August." Great, I'll tell my swollen joints and inability to brush my hair and carry my children to just hold and wait another four months.

Hunt was late, disorganized and unprofessional. I'm not pleased that I wasted months waiting for the appointment. As I waited in the treatment room she was shouting about other patients to her staff across the office, so don't expect discretion. Said she didn't have time to complete a patient history, didn't order any tests. Do yourself a favor and find a different rheumatologist.

I have never written a review before but Dr Hunts is not a doctor I would recommend. She lets patients wait for up to an hour and a half and doesn’t care. Today she didn’t like that I brought my granddaughter because she doesn’t want kids in her exam rooms and wanted me to leave her with the front desk. My husband is a doctor also and has never treated a patient like this

Dr. Hunt is a great doctor. She is very thoughtful and thorough and works hard to untangle any issues I'm having with my rheumatoid arthritis. She seems genuinely concerned about her patients, and she has a friendly staff, as well. In addition, she'll work me in for an appointment if I have an urgent matter. For my regular appointments, I rarely have to wait long in the waiting area. The office runs efficiently, and I feel Dr. Hunt also spends sufficient time with me during my visits.
