Compassionate, caring, and extremely competent, Dr. Harrod always gets to the heart of the matter quickly and in clear language-but doesn't jump to quick conclusions or unnecessary solutions.

Dr. Harrod methodically explained my procedures and thoroughly answered all questions I had. During each post op visit we recounted my progress and discussed the upcoming healing benchmarks I could look forward to experiencing. Dr. Harrod insisted I listen to my body during my healing process. Not many doctors are willing to humble themselves in that regard. Must also acknowledge the friendly, informative, highly competent staff. Thank you all.

Excellent Doctor. Dr. Hunt treated my achilles, 5th metatarsal, and calcaneus injury. He repaired my foot so I may walk again. I would recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone for any orthopedic injury. Wonderful staff as well.

My primary doctor recommended Dr. Harrod as the best doctor to treat my fractures. After the initial contact and subsequent surgery, I feel very confident in recommending Dr. Harrod to anyone in need of services he provides. In addition to exhibiting professionalism and knowledge, Dr. Harrod actually listens to the patient. I have learned that Dr. Harrod treated my brother’s foot fractures several years ago and he also was very pleased with his treatment and outcome.

The first requires surgery; the second did not. In both instances, from the receptionist all the way up to the great doc himself, everyone was courteous, polite, professional, and sincerely understanding and helpful of/to my injury. As for Dr. Harrod—Fantastic! Most importantly, he’s competent. Second most important, he explains everything to the patient and allows ample time for questions.

Dr. Harrod and his entire staff exceeded my high expectations. I would make the trip from Charleston, SC for any Ortho care. I felt like I was in the best possible hands from my first appointment.

Dr. Hunt performed surgery on my ankle back in October. This was my last follow up visit. As with all my visits he took all the time I needed and answered all my questions to my satisfaction.

That sounds like a simple thing, but I've found it to rare. And he spends time with you based on your needs, not his schedule. The combination of those two things makes you feel like the most important person in the room, and it shows he truly cares. I would recommend him with no reservations whatsoever.
