Dr. Huntley's Reviews

Dr. Huntley fixed me up from a fairly severe injury. I definitely recommend him. My physical therapist says he is one of the best doctors he has worked with. There is no “good luck, see you later” as with some doctors. Follow-up is an important part of the process. Dr. Huntley provides detailed “protocols” for physical therapy and schedules post-op checks.
