Dr Huntley was amazing. He seemed like he cared about his patients, and he talked me through primary and secondary courses of action, making sure I understood pros and cons. If I need surgery again, he's the surgeon I want.

Dr. Huntley was great. He gave me options and spent enough time with me so that I felt comfortable making my decision. It isn’t his fault he was over-scheduled and ran about 20 minutes late. It also wasn’t his fault the front desk didn’t let me know when I checked in. I recommend Dr. Huntley.

Attentive and easy to talk with. Gave me a few options to consider, while also providing his experiences on potential outcomes of each of those options. This lead to an easier decision on which option to go with and plan to get the best results.

Loved him. He was very through and explained in laymans terms. I had to take 1 star off because he was 50 minutes late for my 11:25 appointment.
