I had a textbook, perfect, healthy pregnancy. Dr hurd gave me an ultrasound at 36 weeks (which I later found out isnt even necessary) and saw that baby looked small. He immediately decided he was going to induce me not even a week later. He never presented it as a choice or listened to my concerns. He ordered 1 additional stress test (no additional ultrasound or anything) and everything came back perfect and normal. Regardless, he went ahead with inducing me. Baby came out 3 lbs heavier than what he guessed. But struggled for weeks with the affects of being induced early, and made the birth traumatic for me as well. He mentioned being induced several times earlier in my pregnancy and knew it was against my wishes. Not only was he grossly incorrect in medicine, but he was insensitive, rude, and unkind. His choice of conversation not even 1 minute after birth was what birth control he was giving me in 6 weeks. He was LATE to my very active labor. At my 6 werks checkup he invited 2 other college students to watch me have an IUD inserted without even asking my permission to such a private appointment. All around a terrible doctor. Protect this sacred moment in your life and find someone better! I wish I had!

Dr. Hurd is an excellent doctor and a skilled surgeon. When I first moved to the area, he came highly recommended. Ive been seeing him for 5 years and he delivered my youngest via c-section, and more recently performed a partial hysterectomy on me in which he left one single tiny scar above my belly button. Just one! I have been impressed by his knowledge and expertise, his kindness and friendliness, and his bedside manner.

My wife was having contractions every 5 minutes for over 30 hours straight. She is considered high-risk because her last pregnancy ended in an emergency C section. We went to the hospital three times over two nights, each time begging to either be admitted or at least to be sent home with something for the pain or to help her sleep. Each time, Dr. Hurd told us with indifference, he would do nothing for us, to go home. I will tell everyone I can to never use Dr. Hurd.
