My experience was very positive, from early consultations to surgery day and follow ups..I am very pleased with the outcome and I can enjoy some of the activities that couldn’t do anymore prior to surgery.

Dr Hunt performed a partial knee replacement on me. The entire process has been an exceptionally positive experience. Dr Hunt was extremely thorough and patient in addressing all my questions. Pre & post op instructions were very clear, and provided to me in written form (even a post op medicine tracker sheet … which proved invaluable!). He even shared his personal phone number for any post op concerns!

Recovery has been excellent … lots of physical therapy support, and his office is responsive to my needs around pain control.

Overall a five star experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Hunt to anyone having knee issues!

OCC has been trying to get me to leave a review since my first appointment with Dr Hunt. I chose to wait until after my knee replacement, which was 8 weeks ago.

Dr Hunt and his team are top notch. Their communication is excellent and he's an outstanding surgeon and a hell of a nice guy. The attention to his patients like actually seeing them post op and being available via text for any questions or issues is not something I've ever experienced. To me, someone who's been in the services business for over 30 years, is what sets him apart from every other provider I've seen. Bravo!

Dr Hunt is fantastic and got me and took care of my infected knee. His quick decisions prevented my infection from getting worse. A long road ahead before I get a new knee replacement but I have total confidence he will get it done.

Saw Doctor Hunt for hip pain. From the 1st appointment through total hip replacement surgery, I was extremely impressed with the way Dr. Hunt and his team treated me. I have had 10 major surgeries. None of those compare to the warmth and professionalism of Dr. Hunt. He is a highly skilled surgeon with an exceptional bed side manner. Highly highly recommended!

Dr. Harold Hunt is wonderful. Had knee replacement several years ago and he still is there for me. Very kind and caring.
Going in now every so often to get an injection in my other knee and also a bursa injection in my hip. Always pain free. Takes his time and answers your questions. Will always go to him. After injection in my name I can walk again without pain!

Dr. Harold Hunt, his staff, and office assistants are great! Dr. Hunt and his assistants listened to all my concerns and came up with a plan of attack for me before surgery. I am extremely comfortable with the care and respect that I am receiving from the whole Team. My husband just had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Hunt and I am probably going to have knee replacement surgery the beginning of 2026. I am very encouraged with the level of care that my husband has received (and continues to receive) through the whole process.

I have had two very successful hip replacements with minimal recovery time from Dr Hunt and his team. They take care of you before, during and after surgery with a ten out of ten rating. You are in very good hands

Dr Hunt was my orthopedic surgeon when I had my tight hip replaced 14 years ago and I haven’t had an issue with it since. I saw him recently with issues with my left hip. He was thorough in his assessment of my condition and provided me with my options. He is extremely knowledgeable and empathetic.
