Avoid this practitioner at all costs. I repeat: Avoid this practitioner at all costs. My story is…read morelengthy, but it will illustrate why I am directing you to avoid Dr. Hurney. There is something downright suspicious about the way they decide upon your diagnosis before they've even seen your feet. The fact that they refuse to contact your regular podiatrist's billing office in order to compare billing codes is another indication that something is greatly amiss. When the dismissive Dr. Hurney, his nasty medical assistant (to whom I refer as Kellyanne Conway Jr.) and a rude cretin named Tom continually argue with you about the foot care that you've received from your regular podiatrist---one of the area's finest who's been featured on the cover of Connecticut Magazine---it would strike you as gaslighting techniques. After "Kellyanne" said that my podiatrist must have committed fraud for supposedly submitting the wrong codes, I was astonished as it was such an incredibly inflammatory accusation. And even though Tom scoffed at my suggestion that taking $50 from me is a lot easier than submitting a claim to my insurance, what else could I surmise ~ especially when they never even submitted a claim to Medicare? "We could make twice as much by submitting to Medicare!" Oh really? Then why didn't you get the right codes and submit a claim? For 15 years, my fungal infection has been a recurring problem that brings me to my usual podiatrist every 9-12 weeks. But it's also been covered by Medicare and Medicaid all these years. What I later learned from Marie ~ the only person kind enough to call my usual podiatrist's billing office to clarify the situation on the following day ~ is that the procedures and diagnoses were similar. Yet Dr. Hurney's insistence to refer to my issue and procedure as "routine care" ensured that I would pay out of pocket! And, again, he'd already made this decision before consulting me and indulging in a procedure acutely similar to what I usually receive. Calling my regular podiatrist's office was also mysteriously out of the question. Moreover, it is NOT routine care if it involves a fungal infection. This is nonsensical, but the way they treated a new patient (who might have established herself as a regular patient if they'd been competent) is horrible. THEY are horrible. What's even worse is the fact that my late mother was his ongoing patient for years! Honestly, I worked in various facets of customer service for over a decade and never did I deal with such idiocy and insanity. Why would you want a potential new patient to leave and never return? Because I am a participant in the QMB (Medicaid) program, I talked to several of their agents. I also spoke with Medicare and my own podiatrist's billing office. Medicare simply referred me to Medicaid but not before telling me that Dr. Hurney may be guilty of fraud for accepting my money when I'm part of the QMB program. When I mentioned this to Tom, he roared that it wasn't true. Right, sure. I doubted that and everything else they spewed. Medicaid urged me to send a copy of the statement proving that I spent $50 out of pocket, especially since their system showed no evidence of a denied Medicare claim. Due to this turn of events, it's possible that the state can reimburse this money to me or at least notify Dr. Hurney that he must refund my money immediately. Moreover, the well-versed billing representative at my own podiatrist's office was astounded at what they'd done to me and was not pleased to know that Dr. Hurney's medical assistant inexplicably referred to their office as fraudulent. All I know is that narcissists and their "flying monkeys" typically engage in these tactics. Listen closely to what they say and realize that everything is projection. And only a well-trained flying monkey could drive me into histrionics. If Tom had been a nice person who'd wanted to work out the issue, it would have been fine. Instead, he talked tight rings around me until I was confused and flustered. He denied everything I knew to be true. Then I snapped out of my trance when I heard "sorry you feel this way, but that's your opinion." He pushed a red hot button, and I reacted adversely by yelling at him. No, it wasn't my opinion that they were gaslighting me and stealing my money. It was a FACT. Am I sorry? No. They were foul and my reaction was understandable. After he hung up on me, I called back. He told another person in the office that he would send a statement to me that reflected my payment ~ well, that's interesting. He refused to do that only ten minutes earlier. If you were considering Dr. Hurney, please save yourself from a nasty migraine and take your business somewhere else. (Editorial note 4/5/17: After Medicaid informed this doctor that he could not bill a QMB participant when he is a Medicaid provider as well, my $50 was indeed refunded to me via postal mail today. That is karmic justice in action.)

I get an appointment, Dr. states that there is nothing he can do until I get my inflammation numbers down (rheumatoid arthritis.) Also I should go on a biologic & make an appointment with another Dr.????? I go on a biologic & go back after a couple of months (and 2 co-pays) now they can't do anything because they say my knee is bone on bone & I need to make an appointment with another Dr. I had a full set of X-rays about a year ago (told the Dr this) and at that time I was told I had "mild erosion" of the knee joint. The Dr at the Ortho. Group stated that there is no way this happened in 1 year????? So the 1st radiology group is lying??? I called the ortho group yesterday requesting a call from the doctor, no return call. As I am speaking with the office, they tell me the Dr I was seeing in the group, knees really weren't his area. So why did they give me an appointment with someone who doesn't deal with knees, when I specifically stated that I was having a problem with my knee???? I call them again today to see what's going on & why no return call. The office swears they called yesterday (I was home all day) and that they left a message. So I asked what number did they call, she didn't know & I received no message.
