Dr. Hurt grew up in Austin with three siblings, and his father was a physician. At a young age, he developed a love for building, creating, and solving problems, which is something he gets to do every day in his orthopedic practice. He attended Baylor University for his undergrad, followed by UT Southwestern Medical School, where he graduated in the top quarter of his class. Dr. Hurt then completed his orthopedic residency at Parkland Hospital, which formed his foundation as a surgeon today. After his residency, he pursued an additional year of training at the University of Kentucky, caring for athletes and honing his arthroscopic surgical skills. Upon finishing his sports medicine fellowship, Dr. Hurt returned to Austin and joined a small practice in Westlake. During his early years in practice, Dr. Hurt met his wife, Ashley, when she was working in the Seton Main ER as a student nurse. They have four children: Sheppard, Stone, Jolie, and Myles, who are a gift, and he finds it a joy to raise them with his best friend. Shortly after Dr. Hurt and his wife were married, they joined the Austin Stone Worship, and Dr. Hurt’s faith in Christ is what keeps him grounded and inspires him to treat every patient as an individual of immense value, made in His image. ? Dr. Hurt takes a direct, honest, and patient-empowering approach. He involves them in the decision-making process, and only recommends surgery as a last resort. If surgery is necessary, he offers the option to pray with any patient who wishes to do so before their surgery.

He listened to me, ordered an mri so far so good. It is yet to be seen if he can make my miserable pain allow me to have a life again.

November 4, 2021Robert E.Verified patient

Our experience with Dr. Hurt was fabulous. He and his staff are very accommodating. Unfortunately, he was unable to help us and this was out of his control, but pointed us in the right direction to a great specialist. I highly recommend Dr. Hurt and his team.

November 2, 2021Kristie C.Verified patient

I met with the PA to discuss Dr. Hurt's analysis of an MRI I had done. The PA was helpful and thorough and answered my questions. But I never interacted with Dr Hurt directly.
