Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2024
Dr Hunter explained hubby’s heart issues thoroughly, explained how he would proceed fixing the problems and fully addressed the risks and complications in a very caring and compassionate manner. His PA and his RN, Mendy are awesome. I highly recommend this surgeon as I am a disabled paramedic myself and asked quite a few questions and he patiently took the time to address my concerns.
