W Grear Hurt, MD

I was referred to Dr. Hurt from the emergency room after a painful kneecap dislocation. From the minute I met him he seemed so interested in what I had to say about my symptoms and previous problems with my knee. After x-​rays and an MRI, he certainly wasn’t eager to rush into surgery he actually made me take a month to consider the surgery with my family while doing PT to rehab the injury. After 5 weeks, I decided to go forward with my Proximal and Distal Extensor Mechanism Realignment of my left knee. (A mouthful I know) I was in the hospital for a week and he was there constantly with concern for my pain and recovery. He has a special bedside manner where you feel like you become friends with him and you feel confident that he genuinely cares for your well being. Post surgery he was very positive which gave me the drive to work hard to rehabilitate. I’m not going to lie, this was major surgery and I am still healing 4 ½ months later. That being said, I couldn’t have made it through this without his help. He did an awesome job with the actual surgery as I am now walking normal with minimal pain and a STRAIGHT leg!!! No assistance needed and can do most low impact exercises and activities. His excitement regarding my progress was so funny! He would be high-​fiving both my husband and I and practically jumping out of his chair from sheer excitement because I could bend my leg a certain way! I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is need of an orthopaedic surgeon, He is a really great man who loves his job.
