“Went online looking for Dr and Dr Hunt had an appointment available the next morning. Filled out paperwork when we got there and we're seen within 10 minutes,. Dr looked at the place on my face, it was cancer. Tech gave me a shot to numb, Dr cut and burned off. We were done. We were there approximately 30 minutes all together. Definitely will be back if needed. The whole staff and Dr very friendly and helpful. ”

It was a nice office with nice doctor
Verified patient
Total time of visit was maybe 30 minutes or so which was great and honestly the best part. Definitely not the friendliest group of people at this office. The doctor is extremely blunt which some people may not take well but overall an ok visit.
The doctor was very nice and took his time with me. He listened to me and answered all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend him and will be coming back.
Verified patient
Dr. Hunt was straight forward and very efficient. He quickly diagnosed my issues and brought me a great deal of comfort (that it wasn't cancer!!). I will be returning.
Verified patient
The biggest issue I experienced was a switch from the doctor with whom I scheduled an appointment, to a physician asisstant. In the end, though, he was able to address my issues in a professional manner.
Dr Hunt was knowledgable, helpful and very professional. He quickly assessed my condition and provided several possible solutions while explaining the relative merits of each. I was completely satisfied with my visit and will see him again if needed.
