Dr. John,
I would I just like to Thank You for all you have done for me. I think you are the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever met. You make me feel so special when I come to see you. I have so many medical problems and you listen to me, you don't rush with me, you take time to explain everything to me . As for anyone looking for a Great doctor, this is the Man to see. I have a chronic lung disease, diabetes, arthritis, and several other things to deal with and Dr. John addressed each of these problems and had me see my Primary Care doctor and Lung Specialists, before he would even consider doing surgery on me.

I had two surgery's in two weeks. I can't tell you how wonderful he was. He called each night to check on me. He made sure I was in no pain. He even gave me his Cell Phone # in case I had problems. I have been seeing him since 2009 and I won't think of seeing anyone else, for my foot problems! I just love him. He has the best bedside manner, he doesn't make you wait, he is just awesome!

If you need a great Surgeon, or Foot Specialist, I hope you will give him a call. I promise you will not be disappointed. Dr. John, I just love you and have the most respect for you as a person and as Doctor and Surgeon.

Thanks Again,
Judy R.

My name is Judy B., from Summerfield, Florida, and Maine in the summer months. I would like to share a little history of myself regarding foot and ankle pain. After a few of years of "chronic" foot and ankle pain, caused by a birth deformity in my right foot (flat and fallen arch), I started searching for the ideal doctor to take care of my problems. Through word of mouth in my area, I went to see several foot and ankle orthopedic doctors. None of them wanted to address my problem to the fullest degree. Most of the doctors are too busy to give their patients more than 15 minutes per appointment. I was treated very conservatively over a period of two years and was getting extremely frustrated about this situation. During that time, I was suffering with a lot of pain in my entire foot. I had to stop my usual walking program, which I enjoyed, so as not to create more damage to my ankle. According to my doctor's report, I was told I had posterior tibial tendon tear (or Grade 1 tendinosis) in my ankle and Achilles, plus low cartilage in the midfoot area. This doctor prescribed an air cast that I had to wear 24 hours a day, advising me that this boot would surely heal my foot problem. It does help with the pain, though. I have been wearing the boot since March 5, but the mechanics of my foot are still the same. When I walk without the boot, it is still very painful. This doctor told me that I was not a candidate for reconstructive surgery for another few years down the road.

Being the type of person that never gives up, I did my own research on Google. I came across this website of Foot and Ankle Specialists. I decided to write to them about my problem. I received an answer from this wonderful doctor, Dr. John. I was truly impressed by him and the fact that he took the time from his busy schedule to call me up to discuss my foot/ankle situation, and guide me along the path of locating the most qualified orthopedic doctor in my home states.

This is what I say about Dr. John - He is truly a compassionate and sincere doctor, who treats all of his patients with the highest degree of honesty and genuine caring. I feel blessed that our paths have crossed. Not too many doctors in this day and age take an open interest in their patients, and non-patients, as well, as Dr. John does. He is a fine human being and if I lived in the Austin, Texas area, I certainly would have him perform the surgery that is required for my foot.

In closing, I have always believed that in a person's lifetime, there will be someone that will cross your path, and change your life forever. Dr. John has done exactly this. I call him my guardian angel. They say that we all have one, and he is the one for me. He has great communication skills and I could sense from the first time I talked with him that he was genuinely interested in me as a person, and not just a number in his office practice.

He assured me that the doctor I will be seeing in Maine is highly qualified and that I will be in good hands. If anyone in the Austin area is looking for qualified foot and ankle specialists, contact the Foot Specialists of Cedar Park and Georgetown. I would trust Dr. John completely, as he is a kind and loving human being, and I can tell by talking with him a few times that he is totally dedicated in his profession.

Sincerely,
Judy B.

I have had nothing but a great experience EVERY time I have seen Dr. John. He and his staff are awesome!

I had surgery twice in February and Dr. John went out of his way to accommodate mine and my husband's schedule.

I received a phone call from Dr. John after each of my surgeries after I went home to make sure I was doing okay. He is very caring about his patients and easy to talk to.

Dr. John and his staff are friendly and helpful and are top notch in my book. I would highly recommend Dr. John/Foot Specialists to anyone.

My wife, Martha,and I have been patients of Dr. Hurst for over two years. We are extremely pleased with his professionalism and that of his entire staff. He and all of his staff are most friendly and very good at what they do and that is exactly what we want and like when we see any doctor.

Hello,

I was in your office on Tuesday, the 9th and what an AWESOME experience. First of all, my mom referred him so I called thinking since I'm a new patient it would be days before I would see him but to my surprise my appointment was the very next day. I checked in and his nurse called me back, I can't think of her name but she was sooooo nice, OMG. She took x-rays and we had a very nice conversation, I felt really comfortable. So then I met Dr. Hurst.OMGoodness, I just LOVE him, my mom told me he was nice but he was sooo sweet too!!!! I had so much fun w/the both of them throughout my examination. I would recommend all my friends, family, whomever to Foot Specialist in Cedar Park. This was a WONDERFUL, AWESOME experience. I can truly say I can't wait to go back!!!! LOL

I would highly recommend the Foot Specialists of Cedar Park and Georgetown. They are professional, innovative, and they were more concerned about my overall well being as opposed to seeing me as just another patient. They took into account my active lifestyle and tailored my treatment plan to specifically address my needs. This allowed me to continue my daily activities with minimal disruption.

Dr. John took the time to explain all of my options and gave me the information I needed to make a informed decision. I feel 100 times better than when I walked through their doors for my first visit.

Thank you to all of the wonderful staff and doctors at the Foot Specialist of Cedar Park and Georgetown!

My name is Lee Anne H. and I started seeing Dr. John last month. He has been the most helpful Doctor that I have met so far, and believe me I have met a lot of Doctors. He continues to see to it that I do not leave his office without some kind of resolution and prepares me for the next step of my treatment. The whole staff at this office should be commended for their professionalism. The atmosphere is calming and friendly. I couldn't be happier with my choice to come to this office.

Dr Hurst is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable about prescription, medical conditions and how to accommodate your needs for medications. He is a great surgeon. I have had several surgeries on my feet and this is the first time I have had no problem healing. For the first time in many years I can walk in regular shoes and I have no pain. The office staff are terrific. He is very caring and spends the same amount of time with you as he does his other patients. He makes you just as important as the next patient. He is well worth waiting for. If I could rate him with a billion stars I would. I would and I do recommend him to everyone with foot problems. I even have my other family members seeing him for their foot care.

Great Doctor

I was referred to Dr. Hurst from 3 other friends who have been his patients in the past. One of my friends had extensive surgery on her toes - all ten of them, which most were hammer toes and really needed to be "fixed". I can speak for Dr. Hurst abilities just by looking at how he turned such ugly toes into such beautiful ones. I have seen Dr. Hurst twice for a broken metatarsal bone in my foot and he is very knowledgeable in his field of practice and has given me excellent advice in how to heal my broken bone.

I also know that if a patient does not follow the doctors orders, all that talent and good work can be for naught. Dr. Hurst's "bedside" manner is over the top.there are lots of medical specialists in this city, but I have found few doctors that possess the outward caring personality that Dr. Hurst has for his patients. He is just a wonderful person as well as being an excellent doctor.

Blessings - Joy - Peace

Dr. Hurst and his staff are terrific!
January 19, 2009

I am a licensed professional (nurse) in the Georgetown area. I have used Dr. Hurst and his offices, in Georgetown and Cedar Park several times over the past year. I have had surgery twice and have had GREAT experiences each time. The staff is above and beyond, with anything I need. Post op care was terrific and I was even given the Doctor's cell number, over a holiday weekend if I needed anything.

He called the evening I was released to make sure everything was okay. I understand the need to reschedule appointment times, due to emergencies that can arise, and this has happened to me. I didn't mind rescheduling, nor do I mind waiting for an appointment. Dr. Hursts' office staff ALWAYS works in any patient that needs to be evaluated and has worked me into a full schedule on several occasions. There is something to be said about an office who will work in all patients, regardless of insurance, but based on patient need. I will continue all foot care with him and his offices, and recommend him to anyone I meet who may need foot care. If I could rate higher than a 5 star, I would.

Awesome experience!

I see Dr. Hurst for my podiatry care and can't say enough good things about him. His knowledge, his professionalism, his courtesy and bed side manner is exceptional. He did surgery on my foot and it was a great surgical experience. He was always available to answer questions, refill medications, and go the extra mile for me. I am a medical professional in the community and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family/friends/patients..anyone I know. Dr. Hurst's staff is also very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. If I ever need any foot care..this is where I would end up!
