I was in the room with for 3 minutes with my provider. I am a provider as well and know sometimes there's just not a lot to cover - people are genuinely healthy. What bothers me is that I am uninsured and had to pay $140 for what took maybe 10 minutes of time (again, I am a provider and know even documenting and reviewing a healthy persons chart doesn't take long). This is absurd. 10 minutes a of providers time should not cost $140!!

Dr. Willie Hurst is a very good Dr. I truly value his advice and recommendations. Don't let him retire. I do feel that his experiences about God & his Christlike friendship are so valuable.

I wish when you have bloodwork done they would get back with you . That seems to be a problem at two of my doctors office.

My appointment was at 3:00 PM. I was instructed to arrive ten minutes prior to the appointment. I waited an hour and twenty first be minutes before being called back to visit with the doctor. I realize there are many variables that affect this factor, but that is very different inconsiderate of my time to make me spend 85 minutes of my time for an appointment.

My in person experience was great but two of my prescriptions were not called in and now it's the weekend and I don't have anymore of this particular medication. I called and left a message with my doctor's nurse two days in a row with no refill sent nor a callback from my physicians office. Dr. Hurst is amazing, but his staff can be a challenge to navigate.

The tech that drawed blood for my labs was not professional. She had a tag that said "hello I am doing the best I can". She stuck the needle in my arm and wiggled it around several times before trying the other arm. I passed out sitting in the chair and she walked off leaving my boyfriend to take care of me.

August 25, 2025
First care has the slowest, most unprofessional clerks when making an appointment. It shouldn't be that difficult for someone to answer the telephone!!!!!!!!!!!! You call repeated to be told to leave your information and they will respond later!! This is so frustrating. You need to get a better call center. This is a continue complaint!!! Separate number to leave a voicemail for nurses. Worst call center!!!!!

the computer system not working correctly left me sitting waiting for blood work and urine sample. they had to go ask to be able to get what they needed and managed to get it printed off. also while checking in the scanner would not work to scan my insurance card. probably be a good idea to get St Bernards I.T. folks to check your network out....

The doctor's visit with Dr. Hurst was wonderful, but I have heard absolutely nothing back about my blood work.
5
July 29, 2025
Lab staff were talking, seemed like a non work related conversation at the desk, and putting that before drawing labs on patients waiting. May not have been the case, but that was the perception it gave.
5
July 22, 2025
It was a pleasure to be understood about any mistakes I might have made and how I can proceed forward with my healthcare.

July 21, 2025
We were schedule for 12:15pm, we didn't get called back for pre op until well after 1:00pm. While waiting for the scheduled date we had multiple calls/texts about money and what needed to be done before or during. Most didn't match at all. But the drs and nurses were great during the procedure.

Dr Hurst is the best doctor ever.

May 22, 2025
I'm somewhat taken back with the wait time in the reception area and exam room. However, I remain patient because I understand earlier appointments are receiving the detailed care I trust I will receive. However with consistency, there remains a significant amount of time between scheduled appointment time and actually consulting with a physician.
5

Staffs are accommodating and considerate
5
May 12, 2025
My experience was exceptional. I found it to be actually quite stupendous. My physician throughly elaborated everything in a manner where I was able to understand. When we conversed last time we weren't quite able to apprehend what each other was stating, however this time we were able to conduct a conversation that was more plausible for both parties.

I love Dr Hurst. He acts like we are old friends and always talks to me about my family. I feel like he's a small town doctor. He's the best.

I keep extensive records of my home blood tests, blood pressures, weight etc. for my review with my doctor, however they don't seem to matter in most cases. The discussions are short, and I feel it is a race to get me in and out. This visit I had 3 items I wanted to discuss, and we spent less that 3 minutes on them and i felt brushed off and left with questions about them.

All were good especially the Doctor.

I had an appointment with dr Hurst (redacted) so that I could get refills on my medications. After my appointment was over, my prescriptions were never sent to the pharmacy. The next day, myself and the pharmacy followed up on my prescriptions, and I never received a call back from the doctor or nurse about it. The pharmacy hasn't refilled my prescriptions so I don't think they did either.

March 04, 2025
As usual, it feels like you're being pushed through like cattle. My payment is in full and out of pocket so I paid roughly $50/minute just to get a blood pressure prescription refill. Because they don't do a refill without getting the money for a visit. I understand why there are people who refuse to get medical attention and think it's all just a huge money making machine.

I have been a patient with Dr. Hurst for many years. Four years ago, I had a very devastating illness and had to have a colostomy. Dr. Hurst was always the first one to make sure that I got emergency care and follow up with me. And I really don't believe that I would probably be here today if it wasn't for his guidance and the things that he listened to me. Even when I had an infection later, he always made sure that I got the best treatment. So I would definitely recommend this office. Thank you.

Dr. William Hurst is an excellent doctor. He listens and makes appropriate recommendations. He follows up with action he says he will take for my care.
5
January 28, 2025
It had nothing to do with the people. It has to do with all the paperwork that has to be filled out every year even when nothing has changed. That frustrates me. Why not email it so it can be filled out before your appointment on line and emailed back....

I scheduled a wellness appointment sat in the room for 45 minutes only for the doctor to ask me 2 questions and send me on my way...yes I was there for a new patient but I asked for wellness appointment at the time when scheduling the appointment...very confusing nobody has time to keep running up to the doctor when it could have been done in one appointment... Then at checkout when asking the lady why they did that she was rude and said just don't come.... really...
