Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2020
this review got published by google maps for some reason (where they said it was read by 50 people), but not here where I intended it to go. Thank you Dr Hurst 2 months ago I had cubital (the main source of the problem) and carpal tunnel surgery with Dr Hurst six months ago at age 82. I had almost no feeling in the last two fingers of my left hand and there was a pronounced weakening of that hand - which was clearly getting worse. Dr Hurst said there was a good chance for a 70% improvement. Now six months later I would say there is a more than 90% improvement -- days go by when I forget that I ever had a problem with my left hand. I am right handed, but one uses one's other hand all the time.
