Dr Hurel has been my thyroid doctor for over 10 years. I very much appreciate his expertise and support for my health over that time. Dr Hurel is an extremely clear communicator and always gives me helpful and insightful guidance for managing my condition. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Hurel to prospective patients, and indeed have recommended him to friends in the past. His office is efficient and he is always available when I need him. Thank you, Steven!
My most recent visit was positive, Dr Hurel was happy with my blood results and progress.
Steve was friendly, helpful and knowledgable as ever. He explained some possible reasons for my recent results and gave a clear management plan. I always feel confident that I'm getting the best advice around my thyroid management from Steve and he always gives this advice with warmth and sense of humour which are much appreciated.
This appointment was my 6 monthly catch up to discuss thyroid blood test results. Dr. Hurel always asks how I am doing at the start at each appointment, many doctors don’t ask and it’s important because it opens up conversation about what I want to discuss. He genuinely listens to my concerns.
I had a virtual appointment which made it very easy for me to attend. My results were explained clearly and in simple terms. Overall a great success.
I've been a patient of Dr. Hurel's for many years now, and he's helped me a great deal on my journey with Thyroid autoimmune diseases. Was great to catch up during my appointment yesterday. Dr. Hurel always takes the time to explain my blood results and ask me how I am generally / holistically. I feel grateful to have such a supportive healthcare professional.
Dr Hurel is very clear and plain in his explanations and suggested medications, which for me is perfect. He gives praise when it is due and tells me off when there has been a lapse! Dr Hurel is a no nonsense Doctor who knows how to treat his patients and get the best results.
I really like Dr Hurel - he always makes time for me, is forthright, appears to care, flexes according to my needs at the time, listens to me, comes up with solutions, is super-encouraging when telling me how I am doing. He has been pivotal to my recovery and I am very thankful for that and him.
I had a follow up appointment with Dr Hurel recently. I’ve been his patient for more than 10 years and he’s always been incredibly kind and helpful. He explains blood test results and medical information in a clear and concise way and always makes some time to check how things are going with work and life in general during these visits. He shows genuine care and interest, which is much appreciated.
As always, Dr Hurel was caring, informative and I felt I was well informed to make decisions thanks to his thoroughness and taking time to explain everything. He always asks if there is anything else, and I never feel rushed, or confused. Dr Hurel involves me in my own care choices and treatment choices, whilst guiding me with his experience and thorough knowledge.
Dr Hurel has outstanding clinical skills and excellent manners with patients. He never hesitates to go the extra mile for his patients. I can't recommend him highly enough.
