Even when I was going through cancer and he wasn't heading up my team through surgeries he made it a point to watch over me, my care and always made me feel safe! I could go on and on about how blessed I am to have Dr. Byers as my doctor... He is VERY special!... especially in a time where health care has become impersonal and rushed. I must also complement his entire staff. From Marissa (Awesome!) all the way to reception. The entire staff has cultivated an amazing practice to be a part of a rely upon!

I felt like I was dealing with a used car salesman. He claimed he only had one single date for the following month and that if I didn't accept that date, well, who knows what may come of my cancer and my condition. he made a comment about a procedure that had been done to me by another quack some years previous, claiming that that doctors work was "highly questionable". We've asked him to confirm the statement several times and yet he continues to ignore all our requests. He also doesn't seem to be able to respond or help us understand why, when we asked the hospital to provide us an estimate of that upcoming surgery, why they sent it by mail, knowing I was out of the country wouldn't receive it until just before the surgery, then how they can place an amount double to that on my chart just before the surgery, then how can in the end the surgery cost three times as much as the original estimate??? This doctor and everyone associated with him including the hospital are all about the money, and we were never made to feel they cared about my condition in the least. Do not trust this Dr.

And then he orders thorough testing to get answers! (Why isn't this an obvious protocol with ALL doctors?) For many, many years, I was gaslighted by a number of doctors. It's such a profound relief to know I've been heard and understood, and not dismissed as being quasi-hysterical. Already, my health has improved, and will continue to improve. I will soon meet with Dr. Saunders again to go over the very latest tests, and begin treating the problem. I see in my online chart that there are abnormalities with the most recent test. I am 82 years old, and I expect to feel much younger and stronger going forward. My stress level has dropped significantly since I began my healing journey with Dr. Saunders.

(Right one in September of 2020 and the left one November 1st, 2021.) For both of them, the pain I had walking into the hospital was greater than all that followed in post-op and including physical therapy and occupational therapy. First, he is a doctor who will listen to you. He has the experience, skills, and knowledge to diagnose correctly the issues and offer the absolute best protocols to be successful in dealing with them. In my case, total knee replacement was the best and only procedure. Dr. Hurvitz is very down-to-earth and will take the time to make sure that you understand everything that will happen and any possible side effects. After each of my knee replacement surgeries, he would come by to answer any questions and to explain how the procedure went. His experience, skills, and surgical procedures enabled both knees to recover quickly and with less pain. In fact, the initial assessment by my home health physical therapist, just four days after the surgery, revealed that I had already met and/or exceeded the goals set by the home health physical therapist to exit their program. This is entirely due to Dr. Hurvitz's advanced procedural skills and protocols that he uses during his surgeries. I had positive outcomes for both knees demonstrating that he is consistent with his work as well. I highly recommend Dr. Hurvitz for any Orthopedic work. He is more than just a world-class orthopedic surgeon; he is an Artist of the Bones. Respectfully submitted, Mike A. Preslik Exeter, California
