Success Stories from Dr. Hunt’s Patients

Philosophy of Care:
Patient-focused at Every Step

Each patient is treated as an individual — Dr. Hunt begins by understanding who you are, what you do, and what you want to get back to doing.
Non-operative treatments are always explored first when appropriate — including physical therapy, activity modification, and targeted interventions.
When surgery is needed, Dr. Hunt uses joint-preserving, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible and takes time to educate patients so they can make informed decisions with confidence.
